It’s just a tarp, why are you so afraid of it? For the love, it’s hay, you eat it every night, it’s not going to attack you. That was a tree, ya dummy… These are all phrases that I’ve not only said before but that have taken up permanent residence in my everyday vocabulary. “Why,”…

Let’s Be Real: You Aren’t What You Eat
I love food. I love the way that it smells. I love the way that it tastes. I love the feeling of getting your hands sticky with dough, too sticky to answer the phone or text or scroll. I love the feeling of seeing people gathered around the table eating and communing. I love food…but…
6 Books That Will Challenge, Convict, and Change Your Perspective
I love books. Now when I say love, I mean LOVE. This isn’t just the kind of love that where I’ll pick up a book every now and then because I want to read, or where I have a small bookshelf neatly lined with a few books. No, my love for books is big and…

Hello September
Today is the first day of September (okay today is the second day of September but I was going to post this yesterday but got a little distracted). Which means that fall is just 20 days away, or if you live in the dry smokey realm of Alberta where the trees are already turning colour...it…
I’m Not Happy…
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had many people say a very similar sentence to me when we end up talking about all of the changes and events that have been happening in my life: “Wow, I’m so inspired by how positive you are in all of this” Or some sort of variation of…
