Coming home from Montreal, on a train, brings back memories similar to coming home from Europe. Maybe not the entire trip, but for sure coming home from a smaller trip like Ireland or Brighton, you leave the simple oasis of a city unfamiliar to your own and slowly slug back to reality.

Read More Mini Break: Montreal in Mid-JulyIt has been over a year since I moved to Toronto. My first few months here had admittedly been a few of the worst ones in recent memory. Being away from any family or friends had made my life “living for the weekend’s that I would head to my rehearsal weekends in Cambridge or to […]
Read More My Love Letter to TorontoGood morning friends, I am writing to you this morning from my sweet “hotel” aka dorm room on the University of Calgary campus in Calgary, Alberta! What a cool way to start this post, because really I’ve been wanting to write something but things don’t always get done. There’s yoga to be had and a […]
Read More Calgary VibesWhile on my hands and knees this past bright and warm Saturday I found myself stereotypically following through this season’s motions of cleaning. “Spring Cleaning” means a lot to me, as does “Back to School Shopping” and “Christmas Starts December 1st (or as soon as the poppies come off people’s jackets)” because having my surroundings […]

Read More Saturday Morning Relationship | #27Yesterday my family came down to Toronto to celebrate my birthday with me, and after trying to stay at one restaurant we ended up at the Duke of York, a small pub that had good beers and good food. We are the kind of family to need an atmosphere where we can laugh and eat […]
Read More Where I’ve Been: 24 Years | #24I’ve been at this blog for 20 days and I haven’t had much time to just sit and blab, so hey! Let’s blab! First thing’s first: I need to grab something to eat or I might just keel over. I am back, it has been ten minutes and I have eaten a snack of champions: […]
Read More Bits and Bobs and Pirelli | #20I haven’t been reading anything of super interest to a big amount of people, but I thought I’d talk about the Podcast that I’ve dug my fangs into lately! It’s called Fresh Air and it’s a CBC podcast that delves into women issues that have to do with media, literature, women’s rights and all kinds […]
