2021: the year i unpause my life
Fresh starts are not easy when you're not happy. A fresh start is what i needed for years, but i've been too afraid. I've been hurt, that type of hurt that it shattered me into pieces, too many pieces i couldn't glue back together.

The fight
What can I say or do in order to get a message across to everyone? Should I broadcast it on every news source across the country? Or would it be easier if I mailed each and every person a letter? Whichever way works best, I have a great idea that could either make us or break us as a nation. This idea has nothing to do with age, color, sex, race, religion or national origin but it has everything to do with us as human beings. I hope that once you're through reading, you will look at life through a different set of eyes.

Wisdom For The Faint Hearted
In the small village of Molinah, a group of women gathered around listening to the gossip of a young woman in her mid 30s. She told of a situation from a few months prior wherein her best friend and her fiance had betrayed her. An old man, in the distance, overheard this conversation, and couldn't help but recalling he had heard this story once before (weeks earlier) by the same young woman.

This Year Give the Gift of Presence
In the new year, we set goals, get motivated, and share enthusiasm about the new beginning granted to us as the calendar turns the page to 2021. Whether we do business in person or by virtual means, just being present in a conversation is a gift. This gift can change us and the world around us.

My Year of Self Love
I have always loved New Years, even more than Christmas. For me, New Year's Day has always felt like a magical fresh start with a clean slate, a chance to make plans and sort my life out once and for all. It also helps that we have a family tradition of going to the beach every year, which is my happy place. For years I have approached the impending New Year with hope, optimism and insanely lofty goals only to drag myself across the years finish line frustrated and disappointed with myself and ready to do it all over again. Desperate for change, something, anything, please.

You’re not damaged goods, you’re a filet mignon, baby!
My struggles started when I was a freshmen in highschool. I was a cheerleader, a good one at that, and I knew in my heart I was going places. I had a wonderful group of friends and even started on an All Stars cheer team! I was on cloud 9.

A Place To Call Home
Like most, 2020 was an incredibly difficult year for me—but not just because of the pandemic. My 2020 started off filled with uncertainty and fear long before the world began to shut down and people started to pass away from a deadly virus. It started where 2019 left off: scraping by after losing nearly everything.

The Unwritten Code
Blessings come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and times of life. ! Having had a very dramatic and tumultuous childhood filled with unimaginable occurences ( that is a book in the making ) I ended up leaving home at a very early age and eventually hit the streets of Toronto.

No One Fights Alone
On May 12, 2017, I gave birth to my second child and was already the mother of a 1-year-old. A few good days in the hospital until I suddenly fell ill. My chest hurt, a pain so sharp, so crippling. I could no longer breath. I was hunched over, screaming in agony. What the hell is going on? My doctor thought I had a blood clot in my lungs from the caesarian section I had to have. Why else would a perfectly healthy, strong, and young woman have her lungs so full of fluid and why else would her heart be stopping?....Wrong. I almost wish this would've been true. It could've been better than the alternative. Emergency transportation to a larger hospital, many CT scans later, and "YOU HAVE CANCER." What? This can't be real life. I'm only 25-years-old. I have a 4-day-old daughter and a 1-year-old son at home. I'm in a happy marriage to a wonderful man.
