what do you do when you’re done? when something ends, when a door closes, when what you wanted disappears? maybe someone left your life. maybe an opportunity slipped away. or maybe you decided you had enough & you walked away. and here you are, with nothing on your to-do list. your schedule is clear. your […]
we’re doing this
how can one year be so good but so bad at the same time?? bring you so much happiness & then so much sadness?? one moment you feel like you have absolutely everything & then the next day you wake up to feel like you lost it all… now i fully admit that sounds dramatic […]
experience is everything
‘never be afraid to start over. this time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.’ experience is everything – & you have it!! even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. i originally fell in love with this quote because i was completely starting over in life but now i like to read […]
every different season
‘every season serves a purpose’ obviously, this is more of a quiet season. i, like most i’m assuming, have been spending lots & lots of time at home – which i will admit is pretty easy for a gal like me who doesn’t have kids, a spouse or elderly loved ones to care for […]
better to be alone…
i wrote this in yesterday’s blog post & my phone is still pinging with messages from people saying that they’ve been there or are still there. that breaks my heart! so i want to get into this a little more. dig a little deeper. but first i want to start by saying that even […]

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 […]
