I walked and walked and walked.. and woke up.
Last night, I had an intense dream. The kind of dream that leaves you wishing it had been real. The opposite of a nightmare. We don’t have a word for a really great dream, do we? Hmm. Anyway, because it wasn’t real, it made me sad. It was a dream about someone I loved. Alright, someone I love. So I texted her and after a few exchanges, I learned that she still thinks of me often… but that there’s talk about marriage and children with the man she’s with. So I did the responsible thing and told her I wouldn’t contact her again. That I was...
Read MoreMy Thoughts on Pro-Lifers
Today, there’s supposed to be a huge march in Ottawa where just over 12,000 people will be marching against abortion. Give me a break. Why on earth would these people care about a woman deciding to end a pregnancy? How does this affect them at all? Oh right, these people are passionate about imposing their opinions on others. I was going to photograph the protesters today when I realized that doing so would only bring them more attention. I’d rather take my lunch break to share my thoughts on the subject instead. So here we go: I don’t give a fuck what a woman...
Read MoreFinancial Planning: Preparing for the “What If?”
After I was done work today, I pulled up my RSS Reader to catch-up with some of the financial blogs I like to read regularly. I’ll make a list of them later on so you can check them out too. I’ve written before about how rare it is to be able to talk finance with other 30 somethings. To be able to read about people my age who are either also trying to figure out this thing called ‘personal finance’ or who are pretty well versed with the world of investing.. well, it’s all refreshing for a change. At the start of 2011, I made a list of financial goals for the...
Read MoreMy take on Election 2011
I wasn’t planning on writing about the federal election tonight. I had another article planned – until I came home to find a pamphlet from Ottawa Centre Liberal MP hopeful, Scott Bradley, tucked in the side of my apartment door. For those of you who have been following my recent adventures with the Liberal party, you already know that I’ve had it up to ‘here’ with them. The incessant phone calls, the fact that they don’t listen when I tell them not to call me, the fact that they they keep goofing up the simple things – like calling me...
Read MoreWhat to do, what to do!
Living life in the fast lane for the past little while has meant that I’ve had to set some things aside. It’s funny because I went from doing barely anything because I was sick last year to then wanting to do everything at once! I had a certain urgency inside of me – a roaring need to live boldly, a desire to accomplish the things I was too scared or too lazy to attempt beforehand. And now? I am juggling twelve clients, a full-time job, three personal non-profit projects and a tiny social life. Mostly, I spend a lot of time alone at home… to decompress. I...
