Well, That Happened…
When I was 11 years old, I was visiting my mom’s back then, best friend, Susan in Hinton Alberta. One day my right leg started to hurt, to the point that I started to scream so loud they took me to the hospital. I learned I had tendinitis in my ankles, and that at some…

I Owe You Everything
Six or seven years ago I came forward with a horrific story of abuse, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I laid out my story for you, the RCMP, the Police, and anyone who would listen. In return there was a handful of men who said: Some of these men are gangsters, some of them cult…

“Walking Red Flag…” In Otherwords…Check Your Patterns, They Might Be Destroying You
I laughed in ways I haven’t laughed in years. We were talking about Manny Montana, from the show “Good Girls,” and my friend expressed that she couldn’t figure out why everyone thought he was so hot. I laughed and said, “He’s not hot he’s pretty and there’s a difference.” That’s when she busted out the…

I’m Making Room for Evolution
I don’t know what I will look like in six months, but for the first time in my life, I am genuinely curious about the results, of the work I am putting in. You may or may not know this, but last Wednesday marks the first day of the new section, of my health journey.…

Everyone is So Encouraging…It’s Freaking Me Out
In my whole life, I haven’t had as much encouragement, as I’ve had since I decided, to start going to the gym. Now, I say I decided to start going to the gym, instead of “I decided to lose weight,” because weight loss isn’t a goal I want to reach for. I know I am…

I Remember
I remember all the times I walked the earth alone because the people around me wanted nothing to do with me. I remember every single time I was raped – and every single time an adult called it sex. I remember every single time the cops showed up, and I got blamed. I remember every…

ADHD Now Vs ADHD Then
Childhood ADHD is very different than adulthood ADHD. While I don’t know the science behind why it’s different, I saw a story today about a reporter doing a story on ADHD only to find out that she too, has the diagnosis. So I thought I’d talk about my experience so that you might get the…

Something Not Quite Right Here…
I have been out of the “Working” field for seven years. Seven years ago I quit/was fired at my job at Surrey Urban Mission Society, and I focused my energies on exploring the things that were important to me. I volunteered at a local radio station, and I sucked terribly at it, I traveled, and…

What is National Pride…In North America?
When it comes to “National Pride” in *the* most Western countries in the world, what exactly does that phrase mean? When I was sixteen I was sitting in a civics class and we were talking about national pride. I couldn’t explain at that tender age, why it was that I wasn’t “proud” to come from…

1942 – Paris
I had a dream once about a woman who looked like an older version of me. Except unexplainably I knew it was Paris, and I knew it was 1942, so I knew it couldn’t possibly be me. Either way the important part of the dream isn’t about whether or not they looked like me, it’s…

I’m So Sorry…
I owe you an apology. I haven’t failed, I haven’t died, and I haven’t majorly fucked up. But I haven’t been around much to tell you what’s been going on with me, and I suspect you already know why. Anything that I have to complain about pales in comparison with what’s happening in the world…
