I’ve noticed quite a few, “Top Posts of 2011″ and the like from writers in the blogging community. I however have decided to choose from the much smaller collection from whence this blog began. Why? Because I started out as an irregular, complete novice. Who still does not post everyday. However, come this year a whole lot of [...]
About
Aanii, Boozhoo, Wacheye, Sago, Tansi, Welcome & Hello!
Selena is the Yeowoman of her small world. Her bright journey is taken these days, in the company of her partner Trevor, their fellow-adventurer and toddler Wyndham, (also know as WSL – aka: Wee Strappin’ Lad) with the most recent addition of Abigail, (Lil’ Abner) their diva infant daughter. She says a vibrant mosaic of friends and community keeps her grounded, supported and on her toes. With a focus on healthful, green grassroots living, exploring and sharing a passion for tasting all that is good in this life; onward she goes.
On an endless tour for self-knowledge from earlier years of struggle, it’s valuing her own self-worth and love found in the darkest places that have taken her from ‘nannying’ on an air force reserve at the ripe age of 15, peddling Kirby’s door-to-door, waiting tables and tending bar to restaurant management, to the academia of social work. She’s dabbled in band management and worked her way up in the NGO world. That was before the land of surprise babies; when she wore pencil skirts, sexy vintage blouses and shoes to die for. Regularly. When she was madly career driven and not much else.
More recently someone noticed her knack for entertaining the internets and suddenly became a Social Media Consultant. She thinks that is a dreadful term, and prefers Maven, for this top-notch Canadian Folk music label. (Currently on mat leave.) Then, another fabulous someone recommended her to blog on the regular for this awesome parenting publication. Some think she’s pretty alright at the writing thing. Some don’t. Who knew? At any rate – it’s whispered that she’s truly grateful for what her questionable talents are, and even more-so that other people have noticed them enough for her to be able to work from home. Well, you know – when the chaos permits.
She no longer over-extends herself volunteering as a Board Director. Her mister has asked for no more added crazy, pretty please. 2 kids under 2, with both of them being entrepreneurs should suffice at this time, instructions to her straight from the Gods. Although she can’t quite stop from dreaming about certain organizations she wants to be a part of. Like this one and this one. Governance, policy and procedure are apparently, her happy place. As is making beautiful and handsome things, specifically for babies.
Selena is deeply proud of her Anishinaabe roots and continues to immerse herself in the traditions, ceremonies, and teachings; practicing these ways in her daily life.
Above all, she answers to mother-hood first. While it may be a rough go at times, she can’t stop gushing that she’s truly living the dream, so internets – hate, like or love her if you must. She’s just her over here. Constantly learning and doin’ her thang. Peace out says she.
