Documenting the new moments of my life and including them in this blog. I’ll take pictures traveling home and while I’m in Canada. It will be nice to have new memories to look back on instead of my now half empty camera roll that is full of holes from a time I’m trying to move on from.
If you notice this problem persists for you, too (in other words, if you link to a post on this site and no pingback link is created), then please provide feedback in the comments.

My daughter is only two months old, and she is a charmer. She takes up a lot of my time, but I shouldn’t blame her for my laziness. I haven’t updated this blog in a long time, mostly because I was at a loss as to what to write about
with more time in my life I’m hoping to spend more time with my blog and writing in general. When I first started my blog, I found kindred spirits out there in the blogosphere, made new friends and I’ve even met some of them. What fun! With winter coming on (winter of 20-21 as I write this), along with a raging pandemic, I hope to be more active again and I hope you’ll come along.

One of the biggest benefits of writing regularly is the clarity it brings. Thoughts that feel scattered or half-formed become much clearer once they are put into words. Writing creates space to reflect on experiences, notice patterns and properly think things through rather than letting them pass by unnoticed. I’ve also found that it can also be surprisingly grounding. Taking a few minutes each day to sit down and capture an idea, a moment, or a reaction helps slow everything down slightly and helps me to get my brain in gear, ready to start work. Over time it has also helped to build confidence, because the more I have written, the more comfortable I have become at expressing my thoughts and trusting my own voice again.

Invariably during my runs, especially on those long and tedious runs, I discover inspirations from my adrenaline pumped body, environment, or running partners. These inspirations are what I called my Buddha moments. I suppose I could have called them the Eureka moments. But since most of these inspirations are of a spiritual nature, the Buddha won.
This is my first “official” blog post on my website and I hope to write similar ones here in the future. As for my trip to Nova Scotia I want to do a blog post on my experience kayaking to the off limits George’s Island in the Halifax Harbour, as well as a post on the Halifax Citadel.
