Hey, Life Happens

…Slow Living, Midlife Honesty, & a Move Across the Atlantic

A warm welcome to Hey Life Happens. I write about slow living, navigating mid-life, my personal journey, and the small daily work of being present in your own life from suburban Florida, where I'm currently bouncing between rounds of writing and mortgage underwriting, and the long journey toward a move to Manchester, England in 2027.

I'm Tiffany. I just turned 50 this past January. I'm a dual UK/US national, a senior underwriter, a knitter, a sourdough baker, and a Victorian-novel reader. I’m working on writing a novel series and a non-fiction book as well. I live with my partner Jay, a graphic designer, and three daughters in different stages of leaving home. Together we're sorting through two lifetimes of memories, figuring out career changes on both sides of the Atlantic, and writing both the slow living & the mid life story in real time.

This blog is where I tell the truth about midlife without the makeover. No glow-ups. No reinvention. Just refining, paying attention, and finally being who I already was before life took over.

Pull up a chair. I'm glad you're here.
