‘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 […]

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. […]
i bought a house!!!!!!
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 […]

you know
looking back there were so many warning signs. so many times i knew… but ignored it all. you know those moments – the ones when you realize what they are really like. when you see that you deserve better. when you start to figure out that you are truly better off without them. when […]
what team are YOU on?
don’t let the smiling face fool you – i can hardly move today. way too much snow shoveling after way too many months of inactivity has left me incredibly stiff & sore & realizing that i have to do something about it. ‘it’ being the shape i’m in – physically & mentally. over the last […]
what i’m worth
self acceptance. self confidence. self love. three lines i have scribbled down on a piece of paper & stuck to my bulletin board above the desk in my room. my why. the reasons i decided to start writing out my thoughts & feelings on my way to (hopefully) overcoming the huge life challenges thrown […]
