Writer’s Block

Lately it has been hard to write. Ideas come to me at the most inopportune times and by the time I get a chance to actually write anything, it's gone. I've been trying to make notes when an idea comes to me. Currently, I left my notebook at home and I'm at Starbucks with my …

“Keep Moving Forward”

Well... Look at me slacking again... It's been a tough month. Tough in a good way. Between my full-time job, my part-time job, pool league, apartment hunting, and assistant stage managing a play over the past month, it has been busy.  I'm out in the world. I'm working. I'm socializing. I love being a part …

Distant Memories

I had the opportunity to visit my hometown this past weekend. It's the first time I've visited since my grandmother passed last year. My hometown was throwing their annual celebrations this year and I booked time off work to go. SO and my nephew came with me. I spent time with my parents, my other …

The Power in Confidence

Forgive me readers, for I have slacked. It has been over two weeks since my last post. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Also, it has been hard to get in the right head space to write. It's been hard to find free time between work, other work, and pool league/tournaments/provincials. Well here …

The Blank Canvas

I'm staring at a clean canvas. It's crisp. Clean. Untainted. Pure. It gleams in the light, almost glowing with perfection. Untouched. Untarnished. I'm staring at the canvas. I have the paintbrush in hand. But I continue to stare. The palette of colors sit beside me. But I still continue to stare at that canvas. Scared …

The Collector

So... back to my roots here now. Sitting in the corner of the Second Cup with not only one but two frappes. As I already posted on IG, the girl that made my frappe made too much; instead of tossing it out though she gave me the rest in a small cup! How awesome is …

Elements

Happy Saturday everybody. It's a windy day outside and it inspired a poem out of me today. Check out Poet's Corner and read the new poem. I haven't been able to really sit down and write a great post to share with ya'll yet. But I have a couple of ideas in mind so please stay …

Rip Off That Bandage!

Just a reminder, tomorrow is Bell Let's Talk. This is when Bell Mobility keep track of the texts, phone …

Reflection

Yes. I am singing Christina Aguilera's "Reflection" in my head as I type out the name of tonight's blog post. I am also feeling a longing to watch Mulan. May have to search for it later... Well, Happy 1 year anniversary out there for those of you who have been keeping up with the escapades of …

Keep Calm… It’s Christmas!

Good morning everyone! I know! It's Friday! What's DO doing writing a blog? Well, I did tell you that I would be trying to squeeze another blog entry in before Christmas. One that I feel is very close to my heart and I wanted to share with you. And hopefully I can get this one …
