A Canadian girl with a voice.
About me
I'm the girl who sings in the shower and makes creative greeting cards to send to friends. I'm an activist, vegetarian, animal loving Pagan-Buddhist who believes in equal rights and peace on earth. I wear jeans most of the time because I want to. I'm a hippie-goth (didn't know there was such a thing eh?!) A Canadian who buys fair-trade and avoids Walmart as much as humanly possible. I work in social services. I have a dog. I love nature. I'm sarcastic and funny, honest and loyal. I like to sing. I'm a work in progress. I'm a feminist, but I'll let you hold the door. I'm friends with all of my ex's (well, ok maybe not those two, but seriously)I've come along way out of the shadows and I like it here in the light. I have a big mouth and I'm not afraid to use it. I'm creative and hard-working. I like to talk to people. Racism and ignorance isn't my style. I am happily married to a beautiful man who respects and loves me. I love him back. I have a good life and I am grateful.

This comment comes pretty late, but I just read this piece and wanted to say congratulations! Your words are so powerful and meaningful. . .thanks for sharing this with us.
you have SUCH a beautiful voice...it's great when the sound matches the person it's coming from. i'm a little impressed.
^_^ Congrats! Just reading this I believe you've got what it takes to make it. As I'm sure you've discovered this time, it really has nothing to do with will power and everything to do with loving yourself and loving life.
I had a very close friend who was an addict and in an effort to support him I decided that I would quit drinking too. He is someone I love very much, and I felt it was a insignificant thing to give up in comparison to the friendship I would be keeping. I've been sober fo...
For a while I hadn't read a word of truth about addiction and sobriety like this. You have just made one of the most clear and beautiful reflections about real love and self esteem I have ever read. Thank you!
my problem is that i say a lot of nice things about women, and when i do, they tend to get the wrong idea. if that IS what i want, i wouldn't be talking about it anyhow because actions speak louder than words. and emails.
i think you're extremely brave for tackling the issues surrounding SI -- especially given the fact that you are in recovery. you must find it very difficult being confronted by as many triggers as i am sure that you do. i doubt that i would have the ability to stand in your shoes. but i think it's extremely important to have people who understand it and live it to be involved in the movement to have it become better understood from the survivor's perspective - because it's pretty obvious t...
I wonder if the reason self-injury is linked more closely to mental illness than to addiction is because usually it is associated as being a symptom of specific mental illnesses?
There definitely isn't much understanding about it and that makes it even more frustrating for people who deal with it every day, be it in themselves or seeing those in their lives struggle with it. It then becomes a very secret practice and therefore healing is difficult, as you say. I do wish you luck in co...
I really enjoy your music and Love that you are anti fur I really love animals. My cat Sublime is like a family member as her has a mind and feelings to he just can't express himself.
You are an amazing inspiration. Now if only I can figure out how to turn my creative delvings inside out. I know I would feel much more fulfilled, and might inflict a greater change upon the earth rather than merely on an energetic level. As "the quiet one" I've always been in life, I crave to make some noise. May I request a blog explaining how you became the fearless one that you are? I hope it's not too much to ask.
they totally did and loved every minute. it was awesome. we did it two years in a row and raised close to $20k!
