ladies, we’re all in this together
since tomorrow is International Women’s Day, i feel like this is the perfect time to write about something that can come up when a break-up happens & one person starts dating again… i’m talking about a certain sort of bullying. by one woman to another. sometimes the ex. sometimes the new partner. imagine meeting & […]
one day, love songs will sound good again
what’s your favourite love song? maybe it was your wedding song or maybe a song from your favourite band that you’ve loved for decades. or it’s one that reminds you of your mom or your beautiful kids. i feel like there’s nothing better than hearing a song like that fill the room & your heart. […]

more life lessons
life lessons can really suck, hey? those big moments – the ones that teach you the most, give you the most & grow you the most – are often pretty painful. the only thing that magnifies that pain?? not learning the dang lesson the first time & having history repeat. well, last month, i had […]
what is it??
seriously. ask yourself this very important question. life can be pretty tough sometimes, even without all the added pandemic stress, so anytime you can work a little extra happiness into your day – why wouldn’t you?? so – what makes you happy? and i’m not talking about the things you think you *should* do, like […]
