I was snuggled down into my nest in the back seat of the car. I always made one up for long trips, placing my pillows against the right hand side door and my blanket puddled around my legs. From this vantage point I could see the side of my moms' face as she drove and I would fluctuate between const...

I returned home from my brother’s memorial and sat an exam 2 days later. I could have asked for a delay on the exam date but felt I could cope better if I just carried on as if nothing had happened. Unsurprisingly, to everyone except me, I failed the exam. At that time midwifery exams at that st...

I've have been lucky enough to receive many emails from people suggesting I write more about my life. Thank you so much everyone! I had begun posting excerpts from volume two on here though they are several posts down now as the book launch and reviews took priority for a while. Here are links to...

I stepped out in to the back yard and stood facing the sea. It was warm but the damp from the mist began to layer itself on the bare skin of my arms and upper chest. I moved towards the gate, stepping through the opening and carefully closing it quietly. Not so I wouldn’t disturb the rest of those...

On the evening of the day we moved into our first place in Ontario, I asked Paul to pull out the fridge so I could clean underneath and behind it. The previous tenants had left the place filthy, especially the kitchen. He pulled the fridge out and the floor seemed to move in unison. Under the fridge...

I was studying hard and working even harder. I often fell asleep with a textbook open on my chest. I went to nursing college during the day and four nights a week I worked as a bartender.I knew I needed to earn tips to meet my share of the bills and so I made every effort to appear as outgoing and i...

In my mid 20s I began seeking out more information on Paganism. I can’t pinpoint what the main lure was but perhaps in part because my mother had been a herbalist for so many years, some of my upbringing had centred around Pagan principles and I had witnessed firsthand the healing properties of na...

The tea leaf reading predictions were coming true, at least in part. I had left the man I had been dating for 6 years, was now living with my aunt and uncle and due to move to England. If I had any sense I would have stayed living with my aunt and uncle for a few more years, grown up a little more. ...

Sparxs tagged me for this emotive meme. Here are some of my favourite childhood photos. At Grammie's house My Chewie doll We had positioned ourselves behind the garden cannabis plants on purpose and thought we were very clever indeed to get away with having that picture taken. Just look at that ...

Hearing the song Jaya Govinda by Kula Shaker coming from the radio for the first time, I became quietly and overwhelmingly convinced that I had lost my mind in a spectacular though not unpleasant fashion. My brother's first and middle name was Jia Govinda and I had recently returned from his memoria...
