It used to be that feeling like a black sheep made me uncomfortable. Now, it’s my superpower. Spent some glorious time alone this morning, biking in the sun, drinking coffee, reading and journaling. It was lovely. Also loving the “accidental heart” I found on a lamp post as I was parking my bike. It felt very in the moment. 💙 Returned home to the baby already in bed and a cuddle session with my middle. All in all an awesome day. #happymothersday to all the mamas. May you find a few moments just for you. Weekend reading, should I read my book from here? Or here? Or here? Sometimes I feel like my biggest lot in life, especially as a mom, is having to be constantly practical. My job is to kill the most amount of birds with the least amount of stones, finding the fastest and least stressful path from A to Z. Lately I’ve been wondering what an impractical life would look like. If I do just one impractical thing per day, what would that feel like? This is my impractical thing for today… so far, feels pretty good…. #journal time Move to the country. Make bonfires. Inspired by #cbccanadareads to purchase my first #graphicnovel . The debates have swayed me into trying something new and I’m really looking forward to this. These cusp-of-spring-but-still-winter walks give me hope. I of course watched Sarah Polley in her blue dress, frolicking in the fields of Avonlea, as a child. I’m Canadian, it was required. And when Sarah Polley said goodbye to Sarah Stanley, I was, as were many, disappointed. But I also kind of admired her, too. We’re roughly the same age so, somewhere in me I appreciated the independence with which she made that decision to leave. I appreciate it more so, now, after having read her book. Run Towards the Danger is smart, eloquent, and honestly written. It is precisely what I would imagine a book by Sarah Polley to be. She is able to demonstrate her artistry while also remaining humble and true. The theme of running towards the danger, of leaning into discomfort rather than away from it, feels like a motto for living. This was a great read, and only added to my admiration (read: girl crush) of her creativity and her mind. Love it. Love her.
