About

I was born and raised in Canada in a small town called Trout Creek, located in northern Ontario.

The farm where I grew up was an amazing place. Living there was a blessing and an opportunity to commune with nature.

Perhaps that is why, after 12 years of living in Toronto I found Vancouver, and nine months later I had moved again. This was the biggest and easiest move I’ve ever made.

I journalled every day, using the Morning Pages from Julia Cameron’s – The Artist’s Way. I wrote about the people I would meet, how I would feel living there and the job I would have.

I wrote my dream down and it manifested within nine months. The move was supported through a series of interesting “coincidences”. It was an amazing experience and one I reflect on with gratitude.

Most of my career has been spent working in publishing and advertising as a
production coordinator and a proofreader.

I started blogging because I enjoy writing and like to exercise my imagination. I also like to dig for truth and try to figure out what makes us the way we are.

I’m a philosopher of sorts, by my own design. Nature is one of my biggest inspirations and I will quite often use metaphors to illustrate my message.

My dream?

To have a log cabin built somewhere far from the busy city where I spend my days gardening, hiking, writing and cooking with my husband, who would be a professional masseuse and a gourmet chef.

Some of my favourite things:

Movies What About Bob?, The Devil Wears Prada and The Fugitive.

Actors Shirley MacLaine, Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.

Book Harry Potter series.

Pets Don’t have any at the moment, but would love to share my apartment with a parrot.

Food Now, that’s a hard one – depends on the season – Indian cuisine and stew in winter, and fruit smoothies in the summer; oh, and then there is of course chocolate – good in any season!

Interests Nutrition, camping, photography, dancing, playing cards, word games, sudoku, hiking, yoga.
