I live with a broken brain and PTSD--but that doesn't stop me! I'm an author, artist, and qualified mediator who loves life's detours.

I co-authored NOT CANCELLED: Canadian Kindness in the Face of COVID-19. I also publish horror stories.

There's No 'I' in 'They' -- But Perhaps There Should Be
As a curious introvert, I enjoy meeting people and I aim to do it with an open mind. This week, I canvassed for the Royal Canadian Legion’s annual poppy campaign, which landed me outside a local Beer Store. The perfect opportunity to meet those I wouldn’t often encounter.

Lily and Rose
“It’s not fair!” Lily wailed, stomping in circles around the kitchen. “Why does she get a dog? I’ve been the one begging for a puppy like, forever!”

My Mom's Memorial Service Was Full of Beans. Top Story - August 2022.
My Mom’s memorial service—not what you’d expect to be one of the funniest times of our lives, but whenever we think of it, we laugh and high-five each other. And that’s just the way she would have wanted it.

Let Me Hear the Crickets
(1) He asked, “What can I do to make it better?” but nothing could heal my heart, broken by the ebb of young love. “What would you like to do while you’re home?”

I Shot Up with Venom for 5 Years
