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 […]

wondering why (or why not)

Have you ever listened to the podcast Heavyweight? It is described as “a podcast about turning points, finding answers to enduring questions and reckoning with the past.” I first listened to this podcast while sipping coffee in bed on a Sunday morning, my body sticky sweaty from the night’s slumber; something anyone who shares a bed with […]

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.

I’m not actively looking for a partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other, sidekick or friend with benefits… let’s be COMPLETELY clear on that. Solitude is not only craved, but definitely a necessity right now. But, I have a lot to say about who I am and in the process of all I have gone through, realizing […]

#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 […]
