Ok so imagine that you are holding on tightly to your definition of How The World Is. We’re going to run with my definition for How The World Is for the moment because, well, I’m writing this. My definition was formed when I was a kid. I learned early on how certain things were and […]

Six years ago today, my youngest kid married the cat in a beautiful ceremony. There was flowers, a white veil for the bride, and a formal reading of the vows. I think even a wedding photographer was present, though I’m too lazy to try and find the photos right now. Today, that same youngest is […]

I don’t live by the five second rule when it comes to food. If it’s gone, it’s gone. But I am and do live by that rule when it comes to dreams. You see, I’m living a dream I’d forgotten about when life got busy. I’d always wanted to be an illustrator. Children’s books, young […]

ha ha ha You don’t get it that easily lol I’m going to make you read some words FIRST. Every year instead of resolutions, I like to pick a word for the year. Something to focus on. Like a theme. My word for 2017 was LEAP. And boy did I leap. I used it to […]

This has got to be my favourite saying. I heard it from a friend a while ago and it stuck in my head. It really nails a point home in the right context. For example, I’m estranged from my parents and have been for a few years now. It was a deliberate move for so […]

My first jobs, in fact, were to make interactive CDs working as both programmer and interactive designer. The things I could […]

Last week, I was talking with a dear friend of mine, who reminded me of a Facebook comment I once made that stuck with her. The actual post was about doing something big that required courage. I don’t remember what it was specifically but maybe it was travelling by yourself around the world. Maybe it […]

I read a lot of science articles. Fact based stuff. My interests range across the board. And one thing that gets me, and it’s been said before, is that science exists even if you don’t believe in it. Think about it: you may not believe in the tide, but it comes in and out every […]

I just finished a call with one of my artist friends. An amazing artist who isn’t doing as well as she should be doing. She’s facing the same issues I am, so the thoughts I had for myself, percolating in the background, came out full force for her. I was surprised actually by how formed […]

I’m part of a mastermind group for creative professionals. It is so worth it to have a close group of people who are doing the exact same journey. Each in our own way, but still, we get it. And one thing came up this week that really resonated with me. Concrete Goals Give Concrete Results […]
