  • Fog

    I did an afternoon run yesterday and the sky was obscured by fog. Fog is one of my favourite meteorological phenomenons. It’s the special sci-fi movie effects for me. In life, we often plan for sunny days. We plan like we know all the variables of the future, it gives us a sense of purpose…

  • Heels Masterclass

    Today I attended a heels workshop at Studio North. The masterclass was comprised of three separate classes which included 1) technique with Elisha 2) slow and sexy choreo with Alessia 3) Elisha and Alessia – Tour life theme. The classes started at 2pm and ended at 5:30pm. I got downtown around 12 ish and did…

  • The last time

    Have you ever lost someone in your life? “Lost” can mean passed away, or broke up with, or lost touch with. Do you remember your last in-person interaction with them? Do you remember what they looked like? What they were wearing? How they looked at you? What did you talk about? How did that last…

  • How Someone Makes You Feel Can Change You

    I finished reading The Placebo is You by Dr. Joe Dispenza yesterday and it was another one of those books that jolts you out of your normal patterns of thinking and forces you to look at the world through a different lens. The premise of the book is how you can manifest your ideal future…

  • Sandcastles

    Prompt: WRITE ABOUT A TIME THAT YOUR ILLUSIONS OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WERE SHATTERED.  Like a wall the ground beneath my feet sturdy and tangible. My back against the cool hard surface provides comfort of familiarity, rooted in the reality gravity pulls us downwards towards the earth and we can still stand upright. I lean…

  • Hot yoga

    Today I went to my first hot yoga class in a long time (and at 9AM on a Saturday too!) I had two main takeaways from the class: 1) I have the most tension in my hips and shoulders 2) My flexibility has worsened 3) “soften your edges” I’ll elaborate on 3). I’ve always prided…

  • Triglycerides

    Good morning! Last year I signed up for a higher-end gym with the intention of improving my movement and flexibility. I justified the increased expense by going to less heels classes (waste less time commuting to Toronto and progressing very little) and attending more pilates classes, while still having access to the gym. Furthermore, I…

  • Life Changes in the Ordinary Instant

    I finished reading The Year of Magical Thinking a couple of days ago and it made me think about all the negative “Ordinary Instant”(s) that cause us to lose our balance and spiral out of control such as the death of a loved one, company wide layoffs, or the end of a romantic relationship. Some…

  • Tsunami

    Tsunami

    on ordinary days when life feels light and carefree, my mind wanders to a time when we existed ignorant of the future unaware of the past an imperfect bliss. In these ordinary moments when I think the current has corrected itself I’m hit with a tsunami of longing jagged memories strewn on the shore.

  • New Zealand Road Trip 2022

    New Zealand Road Trip 2022

    My big annual adventure trip was to New Zealand with my two high school friends. Below are the notes taken by Gloria, the magnificent scribe. Re-reading these moments are hilarious and also make me miss my BROTHERS. See my Spielberg video moment at the end! Fri Sept 23 Air New Zealand is the most superior…
