Monday, you tried…
Yes, friends, another week in what’s been a ‘challenging’ year started in seemingly typical fashion yesterday- but I have hope. You see, 9 months ago, the struggles myself and my family have fought through would have ruined me for days, but some things are improving. Yesterday I could have lost myself, wallowed in the negative…

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends near and far. I’ve been quiet here lately, as my closest friends and family know the trials and tribulations myself and family have gone through the past while haven’t left much time for chit chat- and you’d think I might have a hard time enjoying today. But…

Unraveling My Brain…
Just a note for those wondering: if I’ve learned anything lately, it’s that the brain is a fuckton more complex than anyone realizes, especially myself. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve seen multiple mental health professionals, had to change my family doctor, and begun a shaky return to work in a profession that has…

TIME for an Update!
Yes, it’s been a while since my last post, and while I regret not sharing all of it, I don’t regret a minute of what’s been going on in my life. For those keeping score, I’ve had multiple model, writing and gardening projects on the go for some time now, with variable rates of progress…

Today I need to take care of the jungle that the ‘plant room’ (for anyone wondering, no, it isn’t a grow op) has turned into, so I’ll share some of the successes (and…

MODELS!! Still Chipping Away…
I don’t think I’d touched one in a couple weeks, so last night I finally did a thing. Yes, I have neglected the desk for a bit, not by design, but simply through not enough hours in the day for the most part. Returning to work after a 2 year absence has…

I’m a murderer!
Yes, sadly it’s true. My eagerness and excitement and need to experiment and tinker has had an unfortunate side effect. Between running out of space in the plant room and the ever-warming spring creeping up on us, I’ve ‘jumped the gun’, so to speak, and tried a few ways to get some of the tomatoes…

I’m Coming Back- a Letter to my Peers
Yes, it’s true. I’m not exactly sure how that looks yet, I’m still figuring it out, but I’m trying. I’m learning that one of the anxieties keeping me from it wasn’t what I’d been fearing, and I am lucky to have more people, more true friends here and in my life, than I can…

Dabs of Encouragement
Saw this elsewhere and it strikes me as a good thought to start a Monday with…
