INTRODUCING...Things That Shine: Poems

I DID IT!

I published a damn book!
My book has been born! <3
This is definitely the best natural high I have ever experienced (not counting getting married, birthing babies etc...)

I'm so damn proud of myself.

For so many years, I just wanted to share my feelings, thoughts and words with the world. 

This project is so dear to my heart.

So many fears, doubts and insecurities were given the ultimate send-off when I bravely opened my heart and decided that I was going to be vulnerable and share my story.

The truth is, I needed to write these words.
I need them as much as any outside reader might.
This project has healed so many scars that were still stinging (even if just a little).

So, without further ado, here is my newest baby.

Baby Boys, Blogs and Blessings

I realize I haven't updated my blog in quite some time! I fall into these spells where I get a little too pre-occupied with my "work" writing, and forget that investing in my creative writing is just as important! I'm hoping to revamp my website in January and re-launch my site with a new concept (now/old concept. It's pretty clear that this is going in the direction of a sober living/recovery blog, cause that's what I'm passionate about these days!). BUT, in the meantime- here are some point-form updates for ya! ⇢We are having another baby boy!!! I am so excited. It's funny how when I first got pregnant (with Theo) I had this idea that I would have a little girl. I dreamt about raising her to be strong and independent and to take no shit from anyone. I swore that she would not struggle through the feelings of low self-worth that plagued me for a big part of my life. But then, we found out it was a boy. After mom'ing a little guy for 8 month...

Stranger in a Strange (Cheese-Filled) Land

So, I've been in Switzerland for just over 2 months. I'm pregnant, too, by the way! 15 weeks!  We'll save that for next post, because what I REALLY want to do is make a listicle of some of the oddities/cool stuff and weird stuff I've noticed since arriving here. If I was in a sour mood, this could have become a Debbie Downer style list of all the things I am having a hard time adjusting to, but I am having a pretty darn good day, so let's look at the bright side, too, shall we?! So, without further ado, let's look at the good, the bad and the fugly of this odd little place. 1. Bananas are super affordable (PRO) This is a weird observation, I know. In Canada, a large banana can cost you as much as $0.75! No joke, today, at the grocery store, I saw a bag of 15 BANANAS for less than 2 francs (that's about $2.45 Canadian). They are super cheap, and I am happy about this. 2. People generally seem miserable; neutral at best (CON) I don't want t...

The Rise Of The Drunk Mom: A Dangerous Epidemic

The rate of alcohol-related illnesses amongst women is at an all time high. Women are turning to alcohol to soothe their stress, to take the edge off after a long day, and to escape the pressures of motherhood and marriage. But how much is too much? Of course, some women exercise moderation while consuming alcohol, but statistics show that these are the outliers. Most women overdo the recommended 1 drink per day guideline, established by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, which keeps drinking in the "moderate" zone. So think about it. One drink per day. Seven drinks per week. That is moderate. Is this the behaviour we want to be modelling for our young girls? Binge drinking for women comes into play when four or more alcoholic units are consumed in a two-hour period. Accumulate 5 instances of bingeing per month and you are in the heavy alcohol use category. My first thought? That's everyone I know. Well, almost. I have some very close fr...
