This last few years have been less than ideal. And before I start my little ranting post I want to preface with my Perspective Acknowledgement – Yes, I get it. I’m lucky in a lot of ways. I am healthy, I am able bodied, I have many luxuries and securities that so many people don’t. Continue reading “Someone’s Poisoned the Waterhole”

Kicking Out Mommy Guilt
Mommy guilt wasn’t something I often struggled with until recently. Now I seem to struggle with it all of the time. Having a demanding work schedule along with my responsibility to my photography clients, writing and my role as Municipal Liaison (ML) for my regional NaNoWriMo, has left me with not a lot of quality time. That isContinue reading “Kicking Out Mommy Guilt”
The Band-aid Between Sunday and Monday
I’ve decided that the time between Sunday to Monday (which for me feels like most of Sunday really) is approached in the manner of a child that needs a bandage ripped off. Fears, tears, crying and avoidance. Trepidation and anticipation of the pain. But once it is over, you pretty much forget about it andContinue reading “The Band-aid Between Sunday and Monday”

Black is the Colour…
I LOVE music. Love it. It inspires me, it helps evoke emotions and the right song can help me get into the head of a character. I always create music playlists for whatever I’m writing and that playlist is what I listen to when I write. If I don’t listen to music when I writeContinue reading “Black is the Colour…”
Importance of Goodbye
Last week was my first week of work and I have to say I was a bit worried. Not that I couldn’t do the job but that I couldn’t do the job while being a mom and essentially being a single mom. By Thursday morning I wondered to my husband if I had done theContinue reading “Importance of Goodbye”
Wordless Wednesday: Ban Bossy
Transitions
Transitions are hard and change is hard. I’ve been in a funk all day just worrying myself into a bit of a tizzy. I laid on the couch and listened to a meditation, played with kids, talked with a friend but still I wasn’t able to calm the growing worry about all my changes. ThenContinue reading “Transitions”
