officially! and it’s all mine!! well, Poppy’s too – but i bought it all on my own & i am so dang proud of myself. which feels incredible since i haven’t had a whole lot to feel very proud of over the last couple of years. i’ve certainly made some questionable decisions & had […]
introducing harl’s house
one rainy june evening in 2019 i met with a realtor in a cozy coffee shop in a neighbourhood i was obsessed with. i had decided that it was finally time to stop moving around – to put down roots & buy a house. harley’s house. that’s the name my mama & i had […]
today could be your day
‘today is the beginning of anything & everything you want’ and today just feels different to me. i woke up way before sunrise this morning with ideas & words & plans just swirling around in my head. a couple of pots of coffee later, i’m still sitting at my desk writing, dreaming & creating. maybe […]
what someone else sees

the other night while video chatting with one of my favourite people, they mentioned how fast summer was going by & now i can’t help but notice that it kind of is! but the last couple of summer seasons just dragged by for me. at first i was so brokenhearted, that i felt like every […]
forgive yourself
forgiveness. it’s a pretty heavy topic around here & something that i’ve thought a lot about for a really long time. i, like most people, can carry around a few guilty feelings. things i feel bad about or ashamed of or embarrassed by. they weigh us down & just feel heavy. well, for me, most […]
be proud
not just proud… SUPER proud! even though i’m absolutely exhausted right now & reclining in my la-z-boy with my laptop while writing this. i not only made it through my return to work this week without freaking out or melting down but i also had the best time ever! like in a ‘haven’t been this […]
what i’m doing
right now i am right on the edge. tomorrow will be the first time in about 4 months that i will be around other people as i return to work & i don’t know how i’m going to handle it. i’m well aware that i am one of the lucky ones who was not only […]
