I’ve spent years building this website and trying to figure out where I fit in the world of the online content creation world. When I first started writing this site, I started researching what the topics should be, or what I should be writing about and I kept hearing the words “be yourself,” okay but…

So, today on a rare day of “I actually want to focus on the cannabis industry,” I stopped by The Growth Op, provided by Post Media, and I have to tell you this, they are doing a really good job. They are sharing really good stories, and the authors are working really hard to educate…

Hear The Voices All The Voices, All The Time, Then Create Majick
So here’s something I don’t talk about often. I hear voices in my head, and I don’t think that I am crazy, and I don’t think that they are dangerous, I think they are beautiful pockets of inspiration on days when I am feeling sad and alone. I used to talk to myself – out…

You Need Jesus – Maybe – But You Don’t Need The Church
I’ve had a lot of time to think about this, to think about the realities of Church vs God, and I have come to believe that as much as the Church says, they represent God, they actually don’t. I’ve always struggled with the idea that God could hate anything He created, it wasn’t until I…

Go With Your Instincts: If Everyone In Your Life Is Telling You Something Is Wrong…Ask Yourself Why
So I’m watching #DirtyJohn, and it got me thinking about the number of times I didn’t pay attention to my instincts because I was conditioned – deliberately so – to believe the best in people, even as they continued to show me the worst of themselves. “Be nice,” “give them a chance,” “maybe they have…

A BRAND NEW #PRIDE SEASON IS AMONG US: Let Us Dance
When I was a kid in Calgary – no more than six years old – I saw the first couple I’d ever seen, holding hands, while both being male. I thought it was cool, but my mom’s boyfriend thought it was gross. I think it was my extreme dislike of him, that taught me how…

What is Oppression? Let’s Talk About How Words Work
Op·pres·sion: “Prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.” The state of being subject to unjust treatment or control. A response to collective poverty and oppression. “Mental pressure or distress.” This word has been floating around social media lately, or at least it was a few weeks ago, and I thought I’d talk about what that…

I Don’t Want To Have To Say Their Names
No, I don’t want to have to say their names, I don’t want to have to know who they are. I don’t want to have to think about the hundreds of Black folk who have been murdered in my lifetime, by white people, who will swear with their dying breath, that “they were doing what…

To The Man or Men Trying To Destroy My Life
I am not afraid – not really, but I am angry. I knew something was coming because I’d been looking over my shoulder, literally, for months.
