This is about weight loss, but more about life gain

I am not going public on my socials about this, so if you’re here, you have found this article based on following me forever or some internet wizardry I just don’t care enough to understand. Whatever the reason, let me tell you this is about weight loss, but more about life gain. If this hook […]

Untitled [on purpose]

I’ve been reading lately. There’s no plot, no way to imagine what the setting is, heck, the characters aren’t even very clear. But this person has written about some themes and feelings and deep reflection. She’s written about love, lust, hate, friendship. Finding lovers, work, new homes and adventures. She’s described the smell of her […]

A lesson from my jade plants

I received a stem from my mom’s jade plant a year or so ago. She potted a shoot for each of her kids last Christmas: a single stem with one or two perfected glossy leaves, planted in a teenie terracotta container, rough and completely perfect for each of us to love and care for. What […]

Feeling sexy is nothing to be ashamed of…

I am obsessed with Amazon’s Original “American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story”. For anyone who knows me, sex is something I don’t shy away from. As I used to tell my then-single girlfriends, don’t ask me anything you’re not prepared to hear an honest answer about. Hef’s story is one of revolution, empowerment and keeping […]

“I did not come in last,” she said and this is what it meant for her.

I wrote a blog back in September about a 5k gone wrong. I had made a goal a few month before with my then boyfriend and we were to train and prep for the 5k, run it and then go to the wine festival that was happening in the hosting town. Well, I didn’t train, […]

#sevendaysofblackandwhitephotoshonouringmybody Day 1 – Legs

In late 2016, I did a seven day of honouring my body. I started a new job only weeks later – someone reported these photos and I it was asked that I take them down. I was body shamed and made to feel embarrassed and I did what was asked of me in fear of […]

Single at 41

On February 5th, 2017, a Facebook ad popped up for an online dating site… wait; I shouldn’t start there. I have never dated in my life. Maybe that’s a better place to start. My mom, to this day, will tell you I was always boy-crazy. My mom, to this day, is 100% accurate. I was […]

I’ll be ok

With a few of shots of Fireball in my belly and the cool October wind on my face, and the tight hug and “I love you” from a friend, Iam realizing I’ll be ok. I have a full heart tonight. It may not be the same full heart I went to bed with two weeks […]

You cannot have what you refuse to build

Life seems to be littered with motivational sayings and feel-good memes, which is nothing I’m turning my nose up to as sometimes one or two may resonate with you. Today, that happened. I was flipping through my IG feed and saw this… I have been in a relatively good place of late, despite having lost […]

“I came in last”, she said. And this is what it meant for her.

Humbling moments have been rare in my life; but today, I experienced a big one. Three months ago, 96 days to be exact, I committed to do something I had done fairly routinely three to four years ago. I committed to run a 5k race. Scouring through the Ontario race lists I was meticulous with […]
