I don’t know what to write, but I want to start writing again…so here I am. It’s been a rough few years. There’s been good…there’s been amazing…but it’s also been rough. I moved to the coast and bought my very first home. I moved my Mum to the same city so we could be closer …

Checking In and Checking Self
I haven't written for a few weeks. Life has been a bit crazy - good crazy, but crazy nonetheless. My birthday was AMAZING! I cried happy tears all day long... and honestly, have never in my adult life felt so loved as I did that day. It was overwhelming and I am so filled with …
Fifty and Fabulous
Today is my 50th birthday. I woke up at 5:30 this morning, feeling fantastic and ready to take on the world! I also am proud of myself. To be honest, I was a bit worried that having a glass of wine this past Saturday would put me back on the path of having it daily …
90 Days…and then?
I reached my 90 day AF goal yesterday. This past 90 days has been eye opening, to say the least. Here's my take on it: Month 1 - The first couple weeks were tough. Then those 'pink clouds' you hear about kicked in and everything was AMAZING. I had so much energy and was incredibly …
Moving in to the new year
Today & tomorrow is Samhain, which is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. This transition celebrates the beginning of spiritual new year for Pagans and is a time to honour our ancestors. A time to reflect on the past year, and prepare for …

Dating during a pandemic
More than likely, we all know and love a conspiracy theorist or two. Whether family, or a close friend, there is likely someone in your life who buys in to a conspiracy - or a whole host of them. Sometimes it’s a family member who believes some right-wing things that are meant to sway politics. …
Living in the time of lockdowns
As of last night, I can no longer leave my city...and no one can come in. Restaurants are to be completely closed by 11pm and stores are back to maximum 50% capacity. We are able to meet with a maximum of 6 people - which is actually better than what friends in Melbourne have where …
Vertigo, Vino & Valium
Have you ever lied to your doctor about how much you drink? I’ve been known to stretch the truth a time or two. As in “a couple glasses of wine” being ‘weekly’ vs the actual ‘not quite daily, but sometimes’. Truth be told, I have actually thought about not taking something I’ve been prescribed because …
Autumn Equinox
Happy Mabon! Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, began yesterday (the 21st of September) and ends today. It is a time to give gratitude, to celebrate the 2nd harvest, and to reflect on the year. Time to recognize your successes and time to let go of things that did not serve you during the past year. …
