Writings with a focus on self-care, personal development, the human condition, the process of knowing ourselves, finding love, and finding love of self. Whether through fiction or non-fiction, these pages reflect humanity, life and everything in between.

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. Wintering in #winter Life over the past several months has been about Going and Doing, very little about Being. As a result, there hasn’t been a lot of #selfcare in my life, and I can feel it. The desire to do little things to boost my spirit is strong, and I am listening. This morning that looks like taking the time to froth my milk … which is stupid in a way, because it literally only takes a few extra moments … nonetheless, these are moments that I haven’t given to myself of late. Today, this is my self-care. Finding my #forestbath even in winter. Heading into the new year in a pile of boxes... So much to be grateful for this past year, and so much to be excited about in 2023. Bring it! At the top of the newest pile of books on my nightstand, #istherebaconinheaven @standupali Journals and composition books Being cute is hard work.
