My biggest leadership lesson
I wrote in my post on National Badge Day about how and why I still volunteer with my sorority. I felt kind of fake writing it because at that point I had already announced to the organization that I was stepping away. Essentially, I felt as though I hadn’t really figured out how to balance…

Moving far, far away
So if you have been following along, you will know that I got a new job in Northwestern Ontario! (If you aren’t in the loop, you can read all about it here). But this town is about a 19 hour drive straight from my parent’s place in the Ottawa Valley, and nearly the exact same…

Mid-Week Procrastination
This hits differently now that I am employed again. Wednesday has more hope, structure, and less dread than it did while I was unemployed, but I’m writing this paragraph on Monday evening and when I woke up this morning I struggled hard. I was exhausted. I’m not sure if it’s moving, starting work, quarantine, or…

Unemployed No More: I got a job!!
I’ve been applying for jobs for about a year now. Starting last March I was kind of lightly applying, like once a week or when I saw something that seemed really appealing, then over the summer I set a goal of applying to a job a day. I frequently didn’t meet that goal, sometimes like…

Obsessions: March 20th
Whew y’all. It has been a week. If you read my last Obsessions post (my most recent post, I’m sorry a week is too long!) I mentioned that we were on the road to Thunder Bay from the Ottawa Valley. I got a job up in Northwestern Ontario, about 4 hours north of Thunder Bay!…

Mid-Week Procrastination: Engagements, Babies, and Agatha All Along
This week I am feeling both the joy of warmer temperature and sunshine that actually has some heat to it and still very much running into the pandemic wall and remnants of seasonal doldrums. However, Monday was International Women’s Day which means that there are all kinds of lovely stories about women on the internet,…

Black History Month Round-Up
Over on my Instagram in February 2021 I did a daily story feature of a different favourite Black creator. Sometimes it was influencers, others artists, poets, and dancers; they were almost always female. But I was choosing the people that I truly admire their content or their work and those people happened to be women.…

Obsessions March 6, 2021
I posted this on my Instagram this week but I love how this little vanity corner of my room turned out. Of course it only looked like that for a bout a week as I’ve already started to pack some of it up. I feel like we came over the hump this week. Spring is…

What I read in February
I found it hard to get into a book last month. I have like 4 books started at the moment because I’ve been having a hard time committing. And TV is just so much easier, and I can needlepoint while I watch, when I read I need to only read. It’s a lot easier to…
