Colourful

Life didn’t go the way I planned. But it’s certainly turning out more colourful than I ever could have hoped for.

It’s Okay

It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to be uninspired. It’s okay if you don’t know. It’s okay if you make mistakes. It’s okay to stand your ground. It’s okay if you feel happy. It’s okay if you feel sad. It’s okay if you feel many things deeply. It’s not […]

In Between Day

Today was an in-between day. When you travel for awhile and then come back home, it takes a bit of time to adjust. I’m not just talking about jet lag, although there is that. But there’s also climate lag (like when you’ve gone from the warm sunny tropics to cold rainy almost-winter), and people lag […]

Rainy Return

In true “Raincouver” style, a wet welcome awaited me when my plane landed in Vancouver. After spending the last nearly two weeks enveloped in warmth and surrounded by palm trees and turquoise seas, I was not looking forward to returning to a grey rainy November. There’s a certain comfort in the rain though, the cool […]

Watch Carefully

These words are resonating with me today. I love when someone gives me that space and comfort to be just me. I love just as much, if not more, to witness someone I care about become more their true self, to be the person offering that space and comfort to them. How much better off […]

Letting Go is the Scariest Part

Today I went rock climbing, on a rock climbing wall with an automatic belay, which means there’s not a human holding the rope to bring you down. So you are just supposed to let go. Letting go, I decided, is the scariest part. And it’s so true, isn’t it? Challenge I can do. Climbing to […]

Name That Bond

On a “Bleisure” trip The leisure part starts today 🤙 Gone cruising 🚢

Timeline Folds

Has your timeline ever folded in on itself? Sometimes it happens in dreams, when you’re transported to another place and time but as your current self. Sometimes it happens in real life, when you visit a place you used to be, or meet somebody you used to know, and it’s as though no time has […]

Time Cheat

I have a confession to make. I have been cheating on the “post-a-day” goals of Nano Poblano for the last few days. The truth is, I’m currently in East Coast time, but my blog is in West Coast time, and I haven’t changed it. So if I post after midnight, it’s the next day here […]
