hey everyone! so i’ve been trying to pick up a new hobby or skill during this pandemic… but i’ve come to realize that the things i love the most are reading & writing… so i figure i should just start a book club! officially, the ‘afternoons book club’! maybe it’ll end up being just my […]
Tag: love
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. […]
ignore the idiots
this is for anyone feeling a little rejected right now! whether it was a romantic interest or a job opportunity or something else that you put yourself out there for. that you got your hopes up for. that you were picturing best case scenario for. i feel you. it sucks. it hurts. it can turn […]
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 […]

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 […]
what you want
exactly one year ago to the day, on the prettiest fall afternoon, i did something i had been waiting to do for a very long time. i got my first tattoo. and even though it’s still my only one – i know that it’s always going to be my favourite & most significant one. […]
