Switching Gears: Why Do People Not Take #Bloggers Seriously And What to Do About It
There are over six hundred million blogs in the world. That doesn’t mean there are six hundred million good blogs in the world, just that there are six hundred million blogs in the world. That means at least one person you know has a blog, somewhere in your city, town, or district. Literally, anyone in…

What Does Mental Health Look Like And How Can We Use Those Looks To Help Us Get Better?
I am literally a few days from being homeless, so needless to say that my mental health isn’t that great I am super stressed out, and while I’m starting to relax into the situation I don’t mind admitting I am afraid. I never thought this would be me, like all people who become creatives, I…

More than 1000 Posts In…Let’s Keep Going
Technically speaking, this is post #1068 because I wasn’t paying attention and I didn’t realize that 67 posts ago, was my 1000th post, so I am celebrating that achievement, even though I didn’t know I’d made it because #WordPress didn’t give me a big badge for the achievement. I am pretty excited about the fact…

What’s Missing From Your Dreams?
Not much. I think I’ve dreamt of being in this place before, maybe my future self is warning me of what’s to come. She also showed me – in my dreams anyways – an image of myself standing on a mountain and waving presumably at a camera. I hope that doesn’t mean I’m destined to…

So This is It…
This is the beginning of something new. It’s precisely what I would expect it to be in a film about anyone who has the kind of dreams that I have. One day, if I work really hard, maybe they’ll write something about me, and it’ll be about how I grew up in a place that…

#Vancouver Politicians Are Big Babies
I live in Vancouver right now. This is not by choice it’s by necessity, there’s nowhere else for me to go, so here I am. I am wondering if I have the right to comment on what is happening in Vancouver, because I haven’t lived here long enough to earn my stripes, and yet nonetheless…

There Is Nothing More Important Than Saving A Life
In my life, I don’t often get the chance to make as many choices as I would like. Right now I’m in a situation that is not of my own making alone, and because of that my options are limited. I am going to try one more time to go back and find and capture…

So This Move Is Almost Done
I still have to go back and clean, but I am no longer staying at the old apartment. I lost my cats in the move. They took off while we were packing up the trucks with stuff we were keeping, and didn’t come back when I went to look for them yesterday…so I am going…

Make it Mean Something
I’ve never liked moving. I don’t know many people that do, but I am excited about the future. I’ll be living several blocks from the ocean, instead of miles, I’ll be able to go to the beach on days when I don’t have to work or do medical stuff, which leaves me plenty of time…

Dear Little One, You’re Going To Be 40 Before You Know It
I’m taking a break from packing, moving, and breaking my back to talk about turning 40. When I was fifteen my abuser told me he’d come back to “celebrate” my 40th birthday with me…he was very excited about this. A bunch of years went by and he went to prison for 125 years…so he won’t…

I Envy No One Right Now
I have to move. I am struggling because technically we’re supposed to be out today. We’re fighting, but I don’t know how much more fight I have in me. For years I’ve been telling y’all how tired I am and so now something has to give. I need to take a break from writing and…
