Who am I?
I am a mother, born from homebirths and breastfeeding. My children are rarely far from me, even when I would love a little space. Learning to find balance between their needs and mine is an ongoing challenge. They are my constant source motivation; I hope to be the mother I never had.
Redefining motherhood, especially as a stay-at-home-mom, inspires me.
I am a survivor. Raised in an abusive single-parent Canadian home, I clawed my way out of my past. Now I work to create my happiness.
Married young, my partner and I quickly created the family we always wanted. We were determined to start over and start fresh. Turns out breaking the cycle of abuse is harder than simply moving far away from toxic family. My marriage is far from perfect, but it’s well worth the work.
Every day I strive to bring forth my higher self.
I strive to flourish. I want to grow a little bit every day, and thrive as my full authentic self without fear. I don’t always succeed. However, I do always try to practice what I preach and live by my morals.
Living with integrity, courage, and love is so important to me.
Faith is also very important.
Not faith in God, although I may sometimes use the term. Faith in myself. My soul. My inner wisdom and knowing.
I am a mystic, someone closely connected to the veil that separates us from whatever else exists. Tarot reader, lucid dream explorer, spirit guide enthusiast. More than positive vibes and yoga, although I do love a good stretch.
Crystals and chakras, capitalism and conspiracy theories. I love deep conversations about intriguing ideas. Books were my first love. Spirituality was my second. I’m always seeking answers.
There are always more questions.
I know how challenging it can be to keep faith in humanity when humans have showed you their demons. Faith is necessary. I am dedicated to being the light in a world too fixated on darkness.
Simply put, I am a writer, and here is where I share my words. Come explore with me, and perhaps together we will learn more about ourselves, and what it means to be alive.
Always with love,
