Year of the blog: Day #20

January 22nd, 2018

Day #20 

We'll figure it out, we always do.

Every time I find myself falling into the trap of doubt, fear worry and anxiety, this is my mantra.

Sometimes I say it once a day, sometimes it's several times an hour, regardless, it's been a truth I can rely on. You're still here, you've weathered many storms before, and you'll weather many more that come. Unfortunately you can't simply remember this once, and all the skies clear, it'll never be that easy. We need to remember the noise in our heads isn't always valid, and we're allowed to change the channel anytime we want, and as often as we need.

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either.  I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are...

Proactive Pokémon GO

Are you team Pokémon Go or team Pokémon No? I, for one, am definitely team Pokémon Go! I am thrilled that this game is out, not only to bring back my childhood love of Pokémon but to bring more activity into my day. I know many can agree. It's great to see that phones are finally learning from Wii and Kinect. Combining physical activity and video games is a very smart move with this generation.  Finally, Pokémon Go is released in Canada (as of yesterday). I don't think I've ever been more excited for an app or a game.  Even though the app has proven frustrating for most, with servers down, distracted drivers and walkers, those truly determined to be the very best (that no one ever was) persevered and are now joining their respective teams and battling other users.  But besides benefitting your health (and your Pokémon training skills), do you ever think about how you can help others benefit too?  Here are some ideas to bring light into someone's...

Welcome to my blog!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog!  I have decided to make a personal blog site. This means that every blog that is posted here will be authentic to me. All thoughts and opinions are my own unless otherwise said. Some posts will be strongly opinionated. Others may cause some discomfort. I write in order to cause YOU to think. I want you to question what I post. I want you to think, feel and have an opinion.  I have been very busy in the writing scene. I am currently working on two novels. One is a collaborative novel and the other is my novel that I've been working on since November 2014. My solo novel will be released January 2017 for public viewing and purchase. The profits from sales will be donated to different organizations/families each month. I will keep you posted on more novel information as it becomes available. Also, I've been a reviewer for local shows and performances. I am excited to share those with you! Reviews will be posted on here within the we...
