There's something to say about the everyday
I contemplated it for years, spending day after day walking from the train station to the office thinking about different ways to satisfy the vocational hole being burned into my soul until finally I took a leap of faith and hit send on my resignation letter. Almost instantly I felt a huge weight being lifted... Continue Reading →
Saturday I spent the day learning to code at a free workshop hosted by Lighthouse Labs. I didn't do it because I want to become a programmer or build my own website from scratch (I have WordPress for that). I participated because after a long stint of sitting in an office under fluorescent lighting, wearing black polyester pants and answering... Continue Reading →
"I want to get off and go home again." I want to lie with my mother on the couch at 80 Easton while she brushes her fingers through my hair. I want to have chai and toast with my parents and siblings on Saturday morning while watching Bollywood and listening to my father tell stories, I want to go camping in Old... Continue Reading →
A cousin of mine recently expressed the fact that she felt rejected after sensing that she was approached by a guy only as second choice to her sister. Her feelings prompted me to recount what I had experienced growing up with my own sister over the course of twenty some odd years. We weren’t best friends, not... Continue Reading →
I've attended two funerals in only a one week span and although both deaths were the result of old age that doesn't make it any less emotional for the families involved.

The problem is I’m sick and tired of being chased after like a dog with a bone. The monumental growth of digital advertising has... Continue Reading →
So one of my first posts was about adding some "Me Time" to my schedule and I must say that that I'm doing relatively well. About a month ago I "womened up" and bought 10 Hot Yoga passes at Cielo Studios which have definitely played an important role in fuelling my sanity sessions. It's a great place to...

…And I don’t want to get on. It brings with it a virus that turns you into a pawn. Some are immune, many are not. Succumbing to the outbreak, the infected you can spot. With dreary eyes and a blank expression. A mindless mass who have lost ambition. I call these bodies the working dead.... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago my husband and I were given free tickets to one of the Just for Laughs comedy shows here in Montreal. The offer was last-minute and while my husband hesitated to say yes because such spontaneity lies outside of our daily norm, I jumped at the opportunity, quickly secured a babysitter and headed downtown. It was one... Continue Reading →
