When I was young, a neighbourhood kid passed me down a pair of her old roller skates. She was a fair bit older than me, and I assume she was a pretty good skater because the skates didn’t have stoppers. (The big rubber things you press down at the front of your feet to slow […]

It’s Monday today. Every Monday morning, I have the kids so that Emmanuel can work. At around 1 PM, we switch over, and I have the chance to move the needle on any projects, catch up on admin, or take some self-care.  My Mondays are often alike. I usually have a slow start and try […]

This morning, I was driving to the gym listening to one of my recent favourite songs, “In Dreams”, and the lyrics moved me even more than usual, this verse bringing me to tears: Beloved child  You are the light of the world Beloved child Go out, spread light to the world Be strong, be kind, […]

Three years ago, in 2021, I purchased a mini-course about manifesting. It was called the “21-Day Change-One-Thing Adventure”, and it took me through the fundamentals of manifesting and creating intentional change in my life.  The course was framed as the foundation of manifesting, with a rinse-and-repeat formula that participants could use for anything and everything.

It started in 2022. I was pregnant with William and waking up early each morning with Makia.  I noticed that my fatigue each day was almost unlivable. I would half-heartedly complete my daily tasks, do the bare minimum of parenting (this was the iPad era, sorry, Makia) and limp to the finish line by dinner […]

New Year’s has a very special place in my heart. It was on New Year’s Eve 2012 that I made the decision to quit my chef job to pursue Instagram as a full-time career.  Leading up to the New Year, I had been receiving opportunities in my inbox for all kinds of cool things, including […]

It’s funny. I’ve spent more than half of my forty-two years living within 100 meters of the beach, yet I’ve never consistently made a habit of going.  I have a core memory of going for a swim one morning when I was in high school. It was one of those perfect days with pristine visibility, […]
