Joyeux Pâques, mes amis! Today is Easter, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is through him rising from the grave that we can be redeemed and forgiven from sin. His life is poured out to all who believe and confess the name of Jesus as Lord and saviour. I’m grateful that I live in a city where I can freely worship the God who created me and loved me so much to not leave me as he found me. Each day is a gift, and an opportunity to spread the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. Whether you choose to celebrate or not, I wish you all a happy Easter and a blessed day.

Happy World Autism Day!

You're probably wondering why I'm clad in red. Well, red was chosen by the autistic community for its association with love and passion. It is a declaration of accepting your authentic self and encouraging others to learn to be more accepting and understanding of autistic persons.

Feel free to take the time to learn about autism, especially from autistic voices.

I finally made it out to @orderharvest in Bedford today, where I got a decent cup of iced coffee. I'll be sure to check out more of their menu in the future. #harvestcleaneats #orderharvest #bedfordns #halifax #hfxfoods #hfxfoodscene #coffee #coffeetime (at Harvest Clean Eats) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvdxJIpEIl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day in Canada. As I reflect on my own mental health journey, it's clear to see that I've come a long way, but I still have more to go. I've also noticed that much of my struggles stem from being an autistic person living in a world not made for me. Thankfully, I still have a solid support system to fall back on so that I can move forward. They remind me that I'm not alone. #bellletstalk #community #supportsystem #bellcause #notalone #nomanisanisland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn26ldDJpLG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, I'm thankful. I'm thankful for having a roof over my head and food on the table. I'm thankful for the friends and family who are integral to my well-being. But I'm most thankful for a God who willingly chose to incarnate and sacrifice himself so that I can be in relationship with him forever. #thanksgiving #turkeyandham #gobblegobble #thankful #countyourblessings #somuchfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjWDQVJ2jC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well, a season of selling and suiting up has come to an end for me as of tonight. The bosses have me moving on into merchandising, so I'll be in more casual fits in the near future. Leaving the Majors Sales team is tough, but leave it to the work bestie to send me off in style. Thanks for putting up with me. #suits #suitup #jobchange #worklife #lastday #bittersweet #techsales #costcolife (at Halifax, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZF4s1J8pu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
