I love the simplicity of ground/chopped roots that bring an extra savory level to meals; the eye candy that is the colour of bowl of spices. This afternoon I marveled at music’s ability of music to uplift and put a dance in my step. For a moment I basked in the...

Today I am grateful for a dog that seems to stop by for a visit every time I sweep the floors, reminding me, she really is still here. A blanket from on my bed that holds her smell, that I swear I won’t wash until it walks itself to the washing machine. Today I...

A week after Bella’s passing, someone I love (immensely) had an extensive surgery done at a private clinic as an outpatient. In the depths of grief for my cinnamon girl, I was catapulted into a full-time caregiving role for an already particularly...

This morning, this beautiful being crossed rainbow bridge. With grief in one hand, and gratitude in the other, her presence is no longer restricted to a four legged body: she is the air, the lake, the trees… and she is delighted. I… on the other...
