  • Still here? Why do I keep blogging?

    Behind the scenes on this website, I’ve been doing some restructuring. This led to me looking up the very first post that I shared, which in turn led to me realizing how old this blog really is. And, yikes. It’s been a small lifetime! A child and family likely would have been a wiser investment…

  • Blog Backlog?

    Dear Reader(s), The past few years have been interesting. I’ve had a lot to say about some of my favourite subjects. Although I’ve tried other platforms, I’ve done most of my writing offline and kept it to myself. The brave part of me wants to throw caution to the wind and share everything—or at least…

  • I’m BACK!

    Would you like to know where I’ve been? So would I. Photo courtesy of CreateHER Stock Photos After some freelancing success and a hiatus away from all things writing-related, I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not I lost my mojo. Over the past few months, I’ve certainly felt as though I’d been torn away…

  • Just because.

    The joy that cannot be diminished in spite of hatred and heartbreak. In spite of unexpected evils that seem intent on rising up due to nature’s cruelest whim. I am here, as are you. And we shall not be stopped. I was feeling a little poetic earlier. I’m thankful that deep down, my sense of…

  • Mic Fright?

    Source Dear Reader, I thought I’d give you a bit of an update on one of my projects—the claire.she.goes podcast. I’ve been working at it sporadically over the past few years, and I’ve been thinking about taking things to the next level. If you were at last month’s Paris Lectures event, you already know some…

  • Here’s to 2014.

    Source I look back and think of what was, know in my heart what is, and look ahead…Knowing what I want my future to look like. I won’t share many of my resolutions with you. However, I know that in order to achieve my goals, I need to embrace discipline and self-care. And fear has…

  • Thanks, Beyoncé!

    Because it’s easy to forget yourself… This song isn’t only danceable–it puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it.

  • Ready to STRETCH?

    No, I’m not talking about my post-exercise routine. (Hi, Lisa! 😉 ) I’m referring to this entry from The Daily Love. I’ve been thinking more and more about the future of this site. I’m considering things like taking on a photo-dependent theme. On one hand, I love the idea because my posts will look amazing.…

  • Watch This.

    I sent a tweet to Shane Koyczan to let him know how I felt about his poem. Truly, it touched me. When I was little, I was one of very few non-white kids in my school. The main thing I remember about that time was that I was teased. A lot. When I recall those…

  • News/How I’m doin’. ;)

    1. A few hours ago (this post was written after midnight) I discovered something absolutely, incredibly wonderful…Purely by accident. Seriously. It was weird. Imagine going into the kitchen for some random food, only to learn that someone baked you a pie. But not just any pie… Your FAVOURITE pie. Now…imagine feeling that thrill multiplied by…
