Me

What have you been working on?

I’ve been working on being a better person. That has included accepting the bad, the good and the in-between.

It’s also just meant accepting that the vision I have of some perfect future me may never actualize and the existing version is just fine.

I’m considering what relationships still serve me, wondering why I hold on to the ones that do not. Wondering if I give people chances out of compassion or out of fear that I may need that grace in the future.

Fear has showed itself a lot in my quest to be better, I never thought there was anything I couldn’t do but I think as you get older life shows you that there is much to fear.

So I guess I’ve been working on the fear that this may be as good as it gets and acknowledging no accepting that’s ok?

Our fathers have passed

Our fathers have left

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers stood tall

Now the world says we should be ashamed

O no, that I will not do

I will not feel shame about the one that raised me, raised me against all odds

O no definitely not, for I know that woman is a queen

O no I am not sorry, I am not ashamed I was raised by a single mother

Our fathers have failed

Our fathers are gone

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers have stood tall

Ottawa Street Art aka Graffiti

Gallery Leave a comment

I love the city of Ottawa and on my recent trip I couldn’t help but notice that it like most cities right now has been impacted by high levels of homelessness.

I also couldn’t help but notice some of the street art.

Apologies to the building owners and much love to the artists. ✌🏾

I would love to live in Ottawa so this seemed like a sign

What makes you nervous?

My thoughts my me nervous at times. Am I enough? Was I too rude to that person? Do people like or tolerate me? Will I find love? What do they realllyyyyy think? Is global warming really “real”? Is what I am eating healthy? Why did I eat that? Who should I call? Is my dog ok? Do I make enough money? What is happiness? Do I read enough? Am I working hard enough? Am I podcasting enough? Is anyone listening? Do I sound stupid? Why am I so nervous? Should I be scared? How should I answer this prompt?
