Year of the blog: Day #4 - Thought of the day

Day #4

Sometimes, the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us. We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day, and we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen In just one day. It is scary to think that one day we are going to have to live without our mother or father or brother or wife, or husband.

Perhaps, that one day we are going to have to walk this earth without our best friend by our side, or them without us. None of us are going to be here forever. Not me, not you. It started to make me think. Maybe the journey is not so much about becoming anything. Maybe, it is unbecoming everything that isn’t you so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

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...
