unearthing the creativity that hides in my hair
Things get a little dim sometimes; lost in transition. You’ve got to take a moment every so often to get back what you hid in the shadows.

Read More Shed Your ShellSometimes it can feel like you are floating through life; the expectations that others have for you, weighing heavy on your thoughts. You don’t know where you are going, and maybe only have a faint idea of where you would like to go but that isn’t good enough. It’s not good enough for the hungry […]
Read More Rambling Nonsense on a Friday NightAlas, I have returned. I guess it has been about seven months since I’ve posted anything really but it wasn’t just a break from my blog… I ended up taking a whole break from my entire life as some would say.

Fear is standing on the peak of my favourite mountain, looking down, and trying not to let the edge pull me off. It is the […]
Read More My FearFear resides inside of us. The fear of “I’m not good enough” and “What will __ think?”. These are the fears of the fully capables and the doubtfuls; the creatives, and the brains. These are the fears of you and I, the fears of the girl in the craft aisle as she sets down the […]
Read More The Fear InsideToday I watched a video that really, deeply, bothered me. It wasn’t a video on famine, pollution, or war. It was simply a video on cellphones. This video wasn’t about health risks, money, or new technological advances. No, it wasn’t even a documentary. This was a short film, without dialogue, that simply observed someone’s day […]
Read More The Reign of TechnologySometimes it’s really hard to not think about the question “why”. It lingers in the dusty cupboard in the back room of all of our minds. Why? Why am I here? Why are you here? Why? And there are no answers, only the whimsical theories of mysterious men. Spirituality, I find, is often hard to […]
Read More Why?Sometimes we give up Assuming our goal is too high or too deep We don’t take a second to step back and calculate We just stop Why do we do this? What makes us give up on our dreams? I used to like to think that I was banking them away for later; a good […]
