so already i am feeling myself shifting – shifting away from the emotional undoing that was of my inner self over the past 4 years to the formation of a more mature and sound self. and the shift couldn’t be more welcoming or refreshing. thus, to continue to move with this shift i thought i would share…
the 30s project.
documenting my most recent ambition so that i will hold myself accountable to fulfilling it: i will be celebrating my 29th year soon. and with it comes a transition from being socially and financially reckless to being globally, environmentally and fiscally responsible. my goal is to be debt free by the time i am 32-33. free of a debt…
“i lost my mind long ago / down that yellow brick road”
in the midst of working on some updates for the charity back home that i help run not paying attention to the music that i had put on for some background motivation, my concentration broke when the following lines played over my speaker:” i lost my mind long ago down that yellow brick road there…
one of those moments.
a brilliant epiphany today. and a big one at that – one of those moment’s where it hits you and you realize “that is exactly what i want to do when i grow up.” yes, at 28 years old i still say “when i grow up”. because that is life – a constant growth spurt. anyway,…
mateship.
i consider myself to be a humble canadian. endlessly proud of where i come from, how i was raised. the great white north; the land of the free. we are a likeable people – simple yet robust. old world heritage but new aged in thanks to our multiculturalism and technological developments. we are said to…

…you took your first steps, crawled into your big sister’s bed to hide from thunderstorms or welcomed your baby siblings into the world with cautious enthusiasm? remember when…your mom let go of your hand on your first day of primary school or when your dad kissed you goodbye upon moving you to university? remember when…your…

coming of age – parents and adult children.
just read about maintaining a relationship/parenting an adult child. and it got me thinking…. 1. i always aspire to be the type of adult that my parents would want to hang out with, laugh with. which is why i take pride and appreciation in my friendships with people of varying ages older than me. because they mature…
a new year.
a new year. a new embrace on life, on love. on dreams…on pretty much everything. a new year is a time to embark on new ambitions; leaving behind any unresolved “i should haves” and nagging “wish i could haves”. the turning of the calendar brings fresh promises and desires to strive towards. a new year is…
