Yesterday I went to a second hand wedding dress shop to sell what was once the dress of my dreams. I had been thinking about doing this for a while and was now determined to make some moves. I called the store I bought the dress from to get a copy of the original invoice. […]
Read More The DressI went to a nearby beach a couple of days ago with a girl I’d just met to play a game of ultimate frisbee. I hadn’t ever played before so I was nervous to let down a team of people who had been at it for a while. – This isn’t where I’m headed with […]
Read More Other Lonely PeopleI’ve left San Diego and returned to Canada. I spent my last night in California in a dreamlike place. A hot spring in the middle of the desert, surrounded by a group of people I didn’t know from all across the country. After sunset the sky slowly darkened and more stars appeared then I had […]
Read More Goodbye California – ‘I’m Your Biggest Fan’I’m approaching my last day in San Diego before I start making my way back to Canada (more on this later, I’m not headed right home just yet). My last day in San Diego, after all this time here, is a big ‘last’ for me on my own. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, […]
Read More The ‘Last’ PostOne of the most difficult parts of this process is that is it not linear, it’s more like an extremely jagged line. It’s not like when you have a cold and you get a little better everyday (at least I don’t feel that way). There are different challenges that arise, often unexpectedly. While I’m still […]

Read More SynchronicityI walk around on a daily basis feeling relatively normal, happy a lot of the time (sometimes truly, sometimes just on the surface), moving forward with life in general. It’s during these times that my inner sadness seems to plan its’ sneak attacks. It was beautiful outside today and the sunshine always puts me in […]
Read More Punches to the GutBeing removed from my marriage and now looking back on the past, I disregarded strong feelings I had during certain moments. I didn’t feel that way at the time but that’s of course why hindsight is 20/20. My husband had a re-curring problem with lying very early on in our 10 year relationship together. There […]
Read More Intuition – Your Partner in CrimeAfter four long days of driving I finally made it to San Diego on April 6th. I chose Southern California as opposed to Northern California to ensure I would be spending time in warm sun, or at the very least, no snow. The dogs and I had booked an Airbnb in Banker’s Hill for the […]
