Here are some thoughts I wrote coming down from shrooms. And edited sometime after that trip. To a song by my favourite band and violently recalling versions of myself I didn’t want to remember.

Parenthood is a beautiful phase of life to be in, but not without its complexities.

“Winning the war of words inside your soul means learning to defy your inner critic.” ~Steven Furtick We all have that voice in our head, the voice that’s always negative about ourselves.

I started my first full-time job in May, just a few days after officially having wrapped up my undergrad at Queen’s.

“Tears are words that need to be written.” ~Paulo Coelho It was lovely to see you today. I haven’t seen you in such a long time. So much has happened since the last time we saw each other. You asked me how I was. I politely replied, “I’m fine” and forced a smile that I
Almost 30 years ago, Alice Sayant and her husband bought their first starter home in the suburbs of Winnipeg.

Disappointment – one of life’s predictabilities. At some point, everyone faces it, that feeling of deep sadness when something or someone doesn’t turn out as we expected. Disappointment is inevitable. Oftentimes, the most important people in our lives simply don’t come through for us when it really counts. We are often only enlightened by this
There are some moments so pure, elated, and unimaginably amazing that the emotions running through you are indescribable. Every single person on this planet deserves a home.

My sister and I stood in the bathroom mirror, trying on our bridesmaids dresses for our brother’s wedding.

“Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.” ~Eckhart Tolle Do you ever catch yourself being critical, judgmental, or full of fear and worry?

I am a bitter old hag. There, I said it. I admit it. I’m going to make peace with who and what I am because there is no use continuing to fight it. Ah, forgiveness. It’s good and cleansing and all the other beautiful things it’s rumored to be. I’m not here to argue any
The Waterboys’ 1980s hit, The Whole of the Moon, triggered vivid flashbacks for Thomas Leeds who’d lost nearly all his memories after a near-fatal car accident a decade ago. Even more peculiar is the fact he couldn’t remember any faces until he met his wife and fell in love with her. Hours away from death
“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.” ~Steve Maraboli I’ve noticed that things go much more smoothly when I give up control—when I allow them to happen instead of making them happen.
