They told you it would get better. They said, one day it will all make sense. It will get easier. It is all part of some plan. Maybe it will be for the best. And you tried to swallow those words like jagged pieces of glass hoping there might be some truth to it. Maybe the medicine wasn’t worse than … Read More

Somehow life goes on. You don’t always get to choose the ending. Endings are not always in our control and yet beginnings almost always are. And so we live with this conviction the end is ours to own. But, it’s not. The dream that was constructed. The belief of what was to come. The idea of the perfect ending. Sometimes … Read More

And it’s worth every penny. Worth every tear and dark moment. Change is often forced upon us. We aren’t ready, blindsided, but there’s no other choice. And when the only villain or hero in your story left standing is you, that’s a real mind f$&k. Change might be inevitable and natural, but it can hurt like hell. It introduces you … Read More

New things. At 6 am this morning @innercityboxingpg took 26 souls on a journey of self discovery to find their inner fighter. That untapped part of us, under the surface and waiting for the whistle. It’s in there. And you know it when you feel it. The part that refuses to be made small and insignificant. The part that won’t … Read More

Be the buffalo. When a storm is on the horizon and imminent, buffalo, unlike most other mammals, run towards the storm. They run directly into the very centre of the discomfort. They seem to prefer to face distress head on. Minimizing the time waiting in unproductive panic. They do not avoid the inevitable or pretend it is not there. Rather … Read More

Behind this door. Healing starts here. Behind this door. In person or by virtual or by phone. This is where you nourish your soul. Face some demons. Share the story. Confront some fears. Change your perspective and your mind. Healing starts here. (My #saskatchewan heart loves this wreath from @dandylinespg – also a prairie soul). #counseling #counselling #therapy #therapist #couplestherapy … Read More

Life gets messy. Life gets messy – doesn’t it? With love and loss and life and death. And everything in between. Sadness. Addiction. Depression. Recovery and rising again. None of it comes calm and clear. A million dreams and hopes and just as heavy a dose of reality. Hard times. And sharpe truths. Plans that don’t work out and decisions … Read More

Wasted time. Things that I have wasted time on. (Expertise from a therapist) Perfectionism. Really, it’s such a waste of time. Because nobody and I mean nobody who ever mattered to me really cared. Obsessively thinking about my weight. About fat. Where it is. Where it isn’t. How to avoid it. How to control it. I’ve wasted literally years of … Read More

Counselling helps. Gotta complex story? Don’t worry, there’s a therapy for that. We all have a messy ball of string sorta story. The ones that twist and turn. But don’t worry, I can keep up. It’s not the story but what it means to you that matters. I’m good at helping you untangle the web. And once it’s all smoothed … Read More
