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 things are changing. The face of this site for one. Come February it’s going to be shiny and new, a hub for all that I do. More on that later.

This collection here? Is for me to share with those whom want to get to know me better, or those whom I really, really, like and want them to know me better. The awesome part about that is that it’s often a combo of the two.

It’s also a source of inspiration, for me – to come back to and meander over how I’ve evolved as a writer, found my voice and developed my mad blogging skillz. Because. Like I said. I plan on doing much more of this. In many ways. As an advocate, as a story-teller, as an ambassador and paid writer. But most importantly, for me and other women like me out there. Because the writing stuff? It heals. It empowers. It unites.

So. This curated list will be the first step into my second coming. A more frequent, constantly learning, embracing the everyday that is me. As a writer.  Gone the name acronyms will be, it’s about to get straight-up – the edgy that is me, REAL in here.

Without further ado…to serve as reminder to me. Kicks in the pants to me and FYI’s for you. So pull up a chair. Pour yourself a glass of vino. (I’m publishing this in the eveing people, as I pour myself a glass). Dig in. [click to continue…]

I had 6 too many drinks last night.

That was a regular occurrence, and then some, ‘back in the day’. Always trying so hard to forget. And then I stopped. I came to the hardcore honest truth about myself. Smart enough to know that a path of self-destruction would not lead to anywhere I really wanted to be. Not rocket science, easier said than done.

You may have read, a few posts back, that the BSM proposed to me this past New Year’s Eve. As per usual I’m getting around to sharing the story of how we met. I’m not going to get all mooshad in describing how we fell in love because, well – I don’t feel like rolling that way right now. [click to continue…]

A 9 mo. Old Wee Strappin’ Lad aka: WSL

August 21, 2010

Could it be? My sweet baby boy; our Little Big Spirit Running, that you’ve entered into three quarters of a year in age? Nine months and a few days past when you found your place in this realm, here on earth. Leader from the sky; Wyndham Nighanagiizhig Tobias Mills. You’d been dreamt about by me. [...]

To Have & Have Not

May 11, 2010

What no words can paint. You, my Little Big Spirit Running; my Leader From The Sky, my prodigal son, have bequeathed unto me a blessing of the highest order. Your presence, your trust, your life, your love. As I sit and flounder over adjectives to describe the ample hole you have filled in this well-traveled [...]

BSM: Big Strappin’ Man

April 27, 2010

C’mon. It is a bit rubbish, but YOU try coming up with worthy acronyms. I could have gone for ‘Long Term Life Partner’. He is at once a genius and absent minded. Kind and gentle. Rowdy and brave. Feisty and stubborn. Tall and strappin’. Musical and creative. Supportive and generous. Hip yet old school. Introvert/extrovert. [...]
