Thoughts on a Friday
Apologies for my absence last week. I had two major deadlines and I needed to focus. Happy to say I made both of them. The first was a research proposal for grant money from the Canadian government. The second deadline was the final submission of my MFA. So yeah, casually, I’m done that (for now…

Five Things: Destinations
I’ve travelled more this year than ever before in my life. It’s been a little exhausting (#yolo), but I’ve been so happy to see more of the world. At a time when borders seem to be closing, it’s been amazing to be welcomed to so many new places. And while I’ve done a lot of…

2016 Edition Can hardly believe I’m onto a fourth edition of this not-New-Years-resolutions post. Where does time go? Perhaps, like they say, time flies when you’re having fun (except I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t categorize 2015 as a specifically fun year. Ah well).

So long, 2015!
Photo Diary: 2015 in Review Can’t believe I’m already writing this post. How has it been a year already? I remember January 2015 like it was just yesterday. Obviously it wasn’t. Is it just me, or does it feel like every year feels shorter and shorter? Blink and you’ll miss the whole thing. Without further…
