Stepping off the path

​

​

I created Musings of a Pink Potato Head because I needed a quiet place to process. Somewhere without noise and performance. Slower, softer, and less defined than the world of my plant based food business. Somewhere I could speak plainly. Let it all out. It’s connected to my work with Pretty Pink Potato but it isn’t about the brand. It’s about the person. 

​

The potato is a good metaphor.
It’s grounded, humble, consistent. It grows in the earth, in stillness, while sending out roots that connect below the surface. It’s full of quiet nourishment, staple, steady, dependable. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it feeds.

​​

Potatoes have eyes. They see in their own way.
They sprout when they’re ready, sometimes in unexpected places.

It depends on the conditions around them.
 

This blog is a place to see, to notice, to begin to grow something quietly and honestly. It’s not a space for strategy or plans. It’s where I come to put out what I've put in and speak plainly about the things that don’t always fit elsewhere. Thoughts about life, the world, the systems we live within and the softer musings beneath them.

​

​Many years ago, when I became a mum, I made a conscious decision to start listening inwardly.

I stopped reaching for whispered truths and find my own. Not from books, other belief systems, or borrowed wisdom, and began to follow something quieter and much older.

​

It came from the earth, the body, the nature, and the time I gave myself to feel it all.

With the TV & newspapers gone, I avoided billboards & advertising. Of course, we didn't have social media back then. 

​

I turned inward to shut out the noise and outward to listen to the pulse of life.

What I found didn’t come from any religion, movement or philosophy.

It came from silence, honesty, and time.

​

What I’ve seen since then is that many of us are suffering under systems we never asked for. Systems that reward disconnection, performance, and destruction. The jobs, the hustle, the endless opinions. It all feels out of sync with something much deeper and more ancient.

 

​​This space holds that same energy.

This site isn’t here to offer solutions or sell a popular worldview.
It’s just a space to notice, to question, and to connect with a quieter knowing that many of us still carry, even if we’ve had to bury it for a while.

It's not about offering answers or claiming clarity.
It’s about showing up with presence. Leaning into the mess, the mystery and truths as they reveal themselves.

​​

If something here, in this space, resonates with you, I’m glad. If not, I wish you warmth and grounding on your own path. We may even meet along the way or on a different page here.

Either way, I’ll be here thinking things through, talking my truth and finding the rhythm like any other Pink Potato Head.​​​​​​​
