my definition: when lust, sexual attraction or emotional chemistry breaks barriers and turns into what one mistakenly interprets as something more. it’s easy to blame someone for leading you on. endlessly confusing you even. two people meet. chemistry, an emotional and physical reaction and from there lust ensues. in most situations one of the two…
training wheels.
my training wheels came off today. like learning how to ride your first bike, i am learning how to live for myself, on my own. six months ago i began pedaling my way towards something. not sure what. my experiences to date here have been safe. but i knew that, a comfortable haven to play. …
a seven month reflection.
seven months ago i boarded a plane and didn’t look back. now that emotions, instances and well, life, have calmed, i am able to reflect back on what has been a blinding, turbulent whirlwind, and this is what i see: no person – whether it be a boy, friend or family member – or single…
extraordinary strangers.
life is filled with ordinary people. you encounter strangers every day. smile at someone whom you will never see again. but it is the extraordinary people that you meet that are memorable. the ones you want to hold onto. the ones filled with loveliness. the ones that light up your heart. the ones that leave…
giving thanks in australia.
happy thanksgiving from down under! a meaningful holiday. full of firsts. first time i prepared any type of food for a festive feast. and a ham of all things. first holiday dinner away from family. a meal celebrated with lovely strangers. one commonality – canadians in search of celebrating a native tradition. all grateful. all…

you stepped off the edge of a cliff…and soared.
Sometimes it takes some kind words from an old friend to remind you that you are going in the right direction: It sounds like you’ve truly found yourself and I believe that of the very few people in this world who actually have an opportunity to find themselves and really discover who they are, even…
from katoomba to leura to bondi to manly to melbourne.
it’s been 72 hours of laughter with my favourite Canadian in Australia, JG, and my lucky #6. it’s been that grounded balance i lost hold about a month ago. JG has always been able to calm me, which is why i am so sad to see her leave down under to back up over. to…
getting lost in the blue mountains.
there is something about boarding a jet plane that excites me. the freedom that comes in being up in the air, knowing that any worries or troubles are being left behind, locked firmly on the ground. it’s the fact that any stress has just rolled off of me. i love melbourne but it has been…
losing my balance.
i was told this week that i lost my center of balance. more in respect of not being able to run, my outlet for coping and instilling a healthy habit into my life. and i thought that would explain why i have been feeling tired and heavy. but it’s not because i am not able…
static confusion.
