Anna Sarayna
Hi, I’m Anna — a Jamaican writer, slow-living enthusiast, and professional wanderer of both places and ideas.
For the past 7 years, I’ve carved out a life between cultures and creative experiments—from the steamy markets of Southeast Asia to the salsa-soaked streets of Colombia (where I once taught English), and now the windswept shores of Atlantic Canada. Along the way, I’ve scribbled stories about what it means to belong, to grow roots in motion, and to find joy in the quiet collisions of “here” and “there.”
Sunday Musings began as a love letter to the small things: hearing ‘I love you’, the way light slants through autumn leaves, or a book that rearranges your soul. It’s where I share unfiltered reflections and glimpses of my day-to-day existence in images. Think of it as a cozy, judgment-free corner of the internet for anyone who believes life’s magic lives in the details.
Grab a cup of tea and stay awhile—I’m glad you’re here.

This week's big idea: Embracing self-celebration I turn 40 this year! Which feels like an insane thing, because in my head it doesn’t feel like I’ve been on this spinning rock for that long. But calendars don’t lie, so apparently it has been that long. While my...
Sunday Musings #007: Embracing failure as the path to success
This week's big idea: Failure sucks; but it’s the only way forward Over the Christmas holidays I rewatched Brene Brown’s The Call to Courage special on Netflix. (If you haven’t seen it yet and you’re a fan of her work it’s definitely worth the watch.) And so when I...
Sunday Musings #006: Nothing but good vibes for 2025!
First, some housekeeping… To start the new year I’ve moved the Sunday Musings newsletter to a different platform. Substack is cool, but as a digital marketer and email strategist, I understand the value of building on my own platform. So going forward, the weekly...
Sunday Musings #005: How I’m approaching my 2024 year end review and goals for 2025
This week’s big idea: Intentionality is key when it comes to designing the life of your dreams Last week I talked about remaining present and sitting in gratitude for all that we have. And while this week’s big idea may seem counterintuitive to that, I assure you it’s...
Sunday Musings #004: All we have is now
This week’s big idea: Being present requires intentional action; but it’s worth it I am an obsessive planner. I am big on goal setting and tend to go overboard. Which means I spend a lot of time living in the future that I desire for myself. The problem with this — if...
Sunday Musings #003: A peek inside ‘Notes to My Unborn’📗
This week’s issue is several hours late and features an excerpt from Notes to My Unborn—a book project I started about 8 years ago. Notes to My Unborn began with a simple idea—compile all the lessons I’ve learned into an easy-to-digest collection of letters to my...
