The It Gets Better Project was created and designed specifically for LGBTQIA2S+ folks who are battling bullying, mental illness and other challenges. It is an amazing resource for these things and I highly recommend it! Go to www.itgetsbetter.org for more info. 
That’s not exactly what I wanted …
Last Saturday my coworkers and I participated in our local Defeat Depression run/walk and it was a Good Day. The walk slammed their fundraising goal, raising over $26,000 despite the horrible humidity and serious threat of rain.
We only did the 2km walk for a variety of reasons, but that w…
Its’ BellLetsTalk day here in Canada (though maybe this is an international campaign) and I wanted to say, if you didn’t know already, I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression in the not so distant past, and with post partum depression after my son was born. ***Trigger warning***. Long post!
There is a culture out there, a mindset, that whatever you put out into the Universe, the Universe will send you.

The food never quite runs out, the fire never fully extinguishes. Rain always comes, eventually. Atop the pillar she watches the season…
Hi everyone! A good news post: I beat cancer. When I had my thyroid removed last month the doctor

Generally I prefer to think of myself as casual, leaning towards business casual depending on the situation. TeeFury shirts make up a large chunk of my wardrobe, along with jeans and plain longsleeve shirts that are great for layering since Spring hasn't really gotten here yet. (I will note, however…
This time last year we were living in a cute but tiny apartment in Colwood and I began running. At first I just jogged along until I couldn't, took a walk, then jogged some more, and so on. Then I downloaded the Couch to 5k program for my mp3 player and got serious, signing up for the Victoria Godde…
Since leaving puberty far behind I've been blessed with nice skin. This is, at least in part, because of genetics. Most of the women in my family have good skin so I can only guess that's part of the reason. Here are the things I do to boost nature's gift to me:
Every once in a very great while there may be a post which contains a link to a product or service for which I've been paid to promote or have received for review purposes. I Blog With Integrity so you'll know which is which.
