Welcome to my personal space, where I write through change, learning, and healing in real time. Written by a 45-year-old mother of three, learning AI, online systems, and how to stay sane and healthy, one honest step at a time.

Learn AI as a beginner, that’s exactly where I am right now.
If you’ve been following my journey here on Our Dreams In Progress, you already know one thing about me:
I’m always learning.
Always rebuilding.
Always trying again.
I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos, going through tutorials, and even buying courses to deepen my understanding. I see it all as part of my learning investment.
Even though I’m not yet making any sales, I don’t mind paying for good information. The learning itself is precious, and every new lesson helps me take another step forward.
ODIP will always be my home.
My personal journal.
My quiet corner of the internet where I write honestly about rebuilding my life, my career, and my confidence.
But when I began learning AI for my own digital business… When I started testing simple tools… When I realised how much easier AI made my daily work…
Something shifted.
I found beginner-friendly tutorials, tools, and resources that made learning AI as a beginner feel possible, even for someone like me. Who lived through the whole evolution from cassette tapes to iPhones, yet still found Canva confusing when I first tried it. I’ve never been naturally “techy,” and many of the tools everyone else seemed to understand instantly took me a little longer to figure out.
One of those tools helped me build my very first one-page website from scratch (by myself!), which I documented here earlier:
Seeing that little website come to life was a turning point. It made me realise:
If I can learn this… other parents can too.
And that’s when the idea for Elle Lune Digital clicked. I didn’t want a complicated tech brand. I didn’t want to overwhelm people. I didn’t want to pretend to be an expert.
I just wanted a gentle, simple space where parents like me could learn AI, slowly, safely, and without pressure. And honestly, even if you’re not a parent, you could be a pet parent, a busy professional, a complete newbie, or even 89 years old and curious about AI, if you’re learning from scratch, this space is for you.
It’s not a new platform to replace ODIP. And it’s not a complicated, expert-level tech blog.
It is simply:
A dedicated series inside ODIP where I share everything I’m learning about AI, in a parent-friendly, beginner-friendly way.
You’ll find things like:
How I started learning AI as a 45-year-old mom who once struggled just organising her Google Drive (yes, still learning!)
It’s still me. Still ODIP. Still my real journey.
Just… “a new chapter of it.”
Many people would start a brand-new site for this. But for me:
Elle Lune Digital was born FROM my ODIP journey, not separate from it.
It’s part of my growth. Part of my learning. Part of my dream of rebuilding a digital career during this stage of motherhood.
Keeping everything rooted in one home- ODIP- means you get:
Nothing split. Nothing hidden. Just one place where the whole story lives.
All my AI content will live under one new category on this blog:
👉 Elle Lune Digital- Learn AI With Me
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing:
None of this is expert-level. It’s just one mom documenting what she learns, in real time.
Exactly what ODIP has always been about.
If you’ve been here from the start, thank you for letting me grow in public.
If you’re new here, I hope this next chapter helps you feel less alone and more inspired to try something new , even if you feel behind, even if you’re busy, even if you feel like you’re starting over.
We’re learning together. Slowly. Quietly. But steadily.
