About Me

Hi, I’m Bridget. A quiet note-taker, lifelong learner, animal companion, and the soul behind Peak Talk.

I often say I’m “interested in a lot of things but good at none” – but I’ve learned to embrace that curiosity as a gift. This blog is where I gather thoughts from books, life, things I’m learning (or unlearning), and all the in-between spaces that never quite fit into neat categories.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet ones—especially animals. Over the years, I’ve rescued dozens of stray cats and dogs. Some found loving homes. Others stayed, and we found a kind of home in each other. They have taught me about patience, grief, joy, and unconditional love in ways no one ever could.

This space is a gentle mix of reflection, instinct, and memory. A place for scribbles, half-formed thoughts, and the kind of feelings that are hard to say out loud. It’s named Peak Talk because I write from the quieter peaks of life—those moments when everything feels clear, even if just for a breath.

My Companions

Lucky. A quiet guardian with the kindest eyes. I still feel him near when I write.
Mimoo. He never liked me much. He was my lesson in loving without expecting anything in return.
From left to right: Blackie, Twiggy, Remy (the cat), and Noodles. Remy loves my dogs more than he loves me. And honestly, I get it.
Butterball. Soft, silly, and exactly as huggable as he looks.
Mango. This is his “don’t stop” face. I’ve seen it a lot.
Pixie, striking her best maneki-neko pose, says your fortune looks promising—as long as you bring treats.
Zephyr, dressed for the opera and emotionally unavailable to everyone but me.
Nugget. She’s blind, but she sees joy in everything. I named her after a gold nugget – because she cost me a fortune at the vet when we met. Worth every cent.

These stories, these companions, these quiet observations—they shape the way I move through the world. Writing them down helps me make sense of things. Maybe reading them will do something similar for you.

Thank you for spending a moment here with me.
