You are remembered. You are valued. You are loved. Today is for you. Today is for remembering the light that you shone. Today is for meaningful and systemic change in your name. Today is pushing back on the hate and violence that led you here. Today is for shining a light on your beautiful souls.…

Life isn’t perfect. Especially right now. COVID numbers are going up in my province. There was an exposure at my kids’ school that by the time I found out about it, it was too late to quarantine them. I spent more money in October than I should have, so in November I am feeling the…

My first Starbucks Christmas cup of the season! Sundays are the day of the week when beds get stripped, meals get prepped, laundry gets caught up, bathrooms get cleaned, carpets get vacuumed, nails get painted (it’s on my to do list every week to mitigate my nail biting habit), groceries get bought, lunches get made……

I am trying to relax and remember that I have no ability to affect the outcome of an election in a country that isn’t mine. I wish the effects of the decisions didn’t resonate across the world. I would like to say I don’t care and it has nothing to do with me, but I…

Today, in the US, your vote matters. If it didn’t, the prevailing power wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress it. White women – this message is especially for you – please, please, please don’t vote against your own self interest. Don’t vote for Trump. He is an awful, awful person who has proven time…
