Retirement
Well, after 11 years, I think it is time to retire this blog. It has been hard to stay consistent over the years, and I just don’t think that a blog is the format that my writing will benefit most from. Fear not! As I will be continuing to write online. I am moving to a service called SubStack, the link for which you will find at the end of this post. It is more akin to a mailing list, as you…

PREY
The film Prey made history being the first film to be dubbed and subtitled in Comanche, which is hella cool. And the indigenous cast was, in fact, entirely indigenous. I am happy to have had the privilege to have watched it this weekend. The writing was fantastic and the acting was incredible. It was action-packed, and what a predator movie should be. My best friend called it visceral, and said…

Some Thoughts
Over these past few days, I have started to think about dedicating more time to the blog again. It’s not that I have a lot to write about these days, just that the old focus for my writing is no longer. Since I published my memoir, I haven’t had something that motivates me in quite the same way. Sure, I have started the next big project but it doesn’t have the same sense of urgency completing my…

Memoir is LIVE
Good morning friends and followers! This week has been a big week over here. My memoir is complete and has gone live on Amazon! This was a project almost SIX years in the making, and I am so pleased that we have reached the end and it is now out there. It is live on Amazon in ALL domains worldwide, and can be easily found by searching the book title: The Decisions He Made for Me. Holding the…

Update
Memoir first draft is COMPLETE. Working on a second draft, then editing. Look for release on Amazon in early 2022. I will, of course, continue to update here.

I AM writing…it’s just elsewhere.
I’ve mentioned my memoir a million times here over the past few years. Well, it’s actually being written now. In fact, the first draft is about 2/3 complete. The motivation I have felt to really delve into writing it this summer has felt amazing. It has brought about so much healing already. I will be publishing the memoir in time. I will be self-publishing via Amazon KDP, and when it is live I…

A Prosaic Return to the Blog
A Prosaic Return to the Blog
This blog has laid dormant over the fall and winter and now into the early spring. I have had little to no desire to write anything resembling a post over that time. Between the pandemic, health issues and other less than fun things, I just could not muster the motivation or resolve to do so. But here I am: still dealing with those same health issues though past the scare, living somewhere new,…

Trigger Warning: mental illness, mention of death
Here we are, almost seven months into the pandemic. We are entering the second wave here in Ontario, with new cases reaching record breaking heights the likes that weren’t seen during the first. It’s stressful.
While some pretty wonderful things have happened over the past few months, it has also been a time of adjustment. We are truly…

Life living through COVID-19
Life living through COVID-19
My how the world took a turn.
Here in Ontario, we are almost two full months into a state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state of emergency was declared on March 17, 2020. As of today, Ontario started Phase One of the process of re-opening the province.
Things have changed significantly since this all began. I am personally on week 9 of “quarantine” as of this week. My…

Getting Back into Reading
Getting Back into Reading
I have done more reading in the first 6 weeks of 2020 than I did in all of 2019, and it feels incredible. As difficult as it is sometimes to make the time to read, it has been so fulfilling. Not only am I reading print this year, I am also taking advantage of audio books from the library. Don’t forget – audio books are equally valid when it comes to reading! It does not matter how it is consumed,…

Your Chosen People
I felt like this was an important topic to write about today. It’s not something you think about necessarily, in the ordinary day-to-day, but your chosen people play an incredibly important role in your life. I’m not talking about regular friends, or acquaintances or coworkers that are friends too… I’m talking about those people you consider family. The people that can be referred to as your…

Becoming
Today I wanted to tackle one of the titles that is a part of my reference pile for 2020 and the reason I chose it. This is something I asked for as a Christmas gift, and though my mom had already bought my Christmas gift, she decided to include it as as early birthday gift at the same time she gifted me my (also amazing) Christmas gift.
That title I want to discuss today is Becoming: A Guided…

First Book of the Year
First Book of the Year
About a week ago, I finished reading my first book of the year. After more than a couple of years of being lucky to finish two to three books per year, It feels great to finish my first book of the year before the end of January. I hope to finish at least a book each month in 2020, and I do think this is a reasonable goal. I’ve been much more inclined to reading lately, and it feels fantastic. I…

Reference Books for the New Year
Reference Books for the New Year
For 2020, I opted to create a small selection of books to help me work toward achieving my goals. The selection includes eight books covering categories ranging from financial wellness, to writing and creativity help, to self care and being my best self. I have at least 2 books for each category. I wanted to share the books I am keeping in this quick reference area I have set up in my living…

2020
Three days into the new year, and I am sitting here at home on my couch, battling yet another illness, though unidentified this time. This is becoming nothing new, and I’m learning to not let it bother me as much as it used to. In fact, this new year got off to a rather lovely start, spent with some dear friends playing board games and eating and just generally enjoying each others’ company.…

It's that Season Again
It’s that Season Again
Hi everyone. 5 months is a chunk of time, isn’t it? Update post incoming.It’s mid-November now, and I am descending into the throes of seasonal depression. Good news though, there is a whole lot less stress and pressure on me this year. I am already on a solid medication cocktail to manage my depression, and I am only working ONE job! My side hustle is also starting to really take off, and it’s…
