I know the walls of your room How they helped to keep you safeThe way you curled your body inward Tucking each tiny toe into place  The feelings were simply too heavyIt was hard to catch your breath You tried for so long to contain it Pretending there wasn’t anything left But lately I’ve been listeningI can hear your … Continue reading These Wishes That I Carry

There’s been a lot of grey days lately; ones that appear to blanket the entire sky, and ones that are much more subtle, secretly dimming and darkening the colour of my thoughts.  It’s definitely been a hard time for everyone and it’s not always easy to find the light.  When I was in my early … Continue reading “Maybe The Sun Is Just Waiting For Us”

So I’ve been feeling pretty down lately, and I’m sure it has something to do with the holidays being over and the nonexistent exclamation mark that accompanied them, not to mention the giant pause button that has been pushed on our lives, yet again - but it’s also much more than that; it’s deeper with … Continue reading When The Darker Parts Of Life Come Knocking, Be Sure To Answer

Lost without warning Shadows are cast Darkening the days We hope won’t last A heaviness settles The walls are caving in Unrecognizable Lower than we’ve been Amidst the struggle And the tears we’ve cried We long for a breath On the other side So as we look forward To the promise of a new year Free to dream and hopeTo rejoice and cheer We patiently wait For … Continue reading Endure

The other day I started writing a beautiful poem called ‘Here In My Heart’. It reflected on the loneliness and sense of loss we are all feeling this holiday season, while also uncovering and emphasizing our extremely simple, yet always powerful, saving grace; the things that have been, and always will be, in our hearts.  … Continue reading Ugh. Happy Fucking Holidays – The Tale Of Two Taylor’s

I try really hard.To be a good Mom.But I’m human.So sometimes.I get things wrong.I say and act in ways.I often regret.I’ve cried myself to sleep.Wondering.Have I screwed them up yet?But thankfully.Without fail.These little creatures.Rescue me every day.They save me.From myself.And all the junk.That gets in the way.They are wise.Beyond their years.Surprising me.At every turn.They mirror … Continue reading I Get Rescued Every Day

Now, you might be thinking, hmm, I’ve never heard of this new trendsetting diet before, what’s it all about?! And I would reply, well that’s because I made it up - but I’d be more than happy to tell you why. There’s no need for me to dive in and explain all of the toxic, … Continue reading Why We Need To Start Applauding The “Loving Yourself” Diet

I didn’t post last week because I simply didn’t have the time. My life is just so incredibly hectic right now - ha, no, I’m kidding. I was just actually too busy being swallowed whole, and completely and utterly consumed, by the depths of the Hunger Games movie trilogy - man, it was looonnng.  I … Continue reading May The Odds Be Forever In Your Favour

Every day. We get to float aimlessly. Through the woods. On our way to and from school.There’s a large paved walkway. But there are also. Many tiny secret trails. Amongst the trees.They are curvy.And twisty.With ups.And downs.There are parts. You have to step over. And parts.You have to duck under.And there’s this one spot. Where a few trees have fallen. Smack-dab in the middle. Blocking the … Continue reading Life – A Single Skip For Joy
