Point North Home

Today has felt like a rollercoaster. I was pleased with the forecast, it was finally sunny! Then hours later when the sun just would not fucking set, I was displeased. I am a pit of despair and a well full of hope. Contrasts. Opposites. Uncertain. I have been thinking so much more lately about topics…

Have you ever opened up the fridge and wondered who in god’s name bought all of this kale? It was me. I don’t want kale. My neighborhood is about to become a lake. I would say its puddle season, but my neighborhood has hills and crevices and all these nooks and crannies that will fill…

Today I was thinking about all the things I have accomplished in the last few years. I am feeling a combination of pessimism and optimism at the same time. I’m trying to stay more optimistic, but its hard. So I thought a list might help. Especially as I did this yesterday for a few clients…

Well its February and here we are again. My last living grandparent has passed away and the family curse is as big as life and legend. They have all passed away in this month. And to top it off my parents dog is also ill. So it also rings true that another form of chaos…

Today I feel a warm glow in my heart. All over my body. Winter is setting in. Outside I can hear the cars driving home after a long week. I am tucked away in my apartment, awaiting a light snow that will fall later today. There are string lights in windows and doorways and lampposts,…

Poppy has been trying to drag me into the garden store this week. We have had little flurries overhead all week and she has become very invested in the Christmas trees smells there. As everyone should be. We will be on our daily walk and all of a sudden her nose is in a pile…

I decided a few hours ago that work is not happening tomorrow. My brain feels so full, so stuffed. I feel guilt but also I just don’t think I have the attention to give my work justice. I could take all the blame on myself, that I was staying up late this week. Watching endless…
