Thanks for clicking on my post!

I kinda struggled with a long-form About Me submission. I’ve decided to go for a free flow / jot-note version of what I feel most describes me (these days).

🌊 I hope you enjoy it!

Here are some things I know for sure about myself:

I really enjoy taking lavish baths. My favorite find so far has been Coconut Milk Bath by Herbivore. Any suggestions? I’d love to hear ‘em.
My greatest heartbreak has been losing my beloved dog of 9 years, Viña del Mar (the silliest, most loving gal in the whole wide world).

As a kid, I wanted to own a bed & breakfast. I noticed how much time the adults spent at work & I wanted my work to be at home, with a scone & teapot nearby.
I spent 11 years in an unhealthy relationship & found spirituality/personal growth to climb my way out of it.
I live in an oasis-like setting (a waterfront cabin nestled in the middle of hundreds of acres of Canadiana wilderness).

Some days it’s isolating.
I have three best friends who I met in Grade Three. They are literal earth angels. They’ve offered a consistency in my life that’s unmatched & is a lifeline.
My partner Geoff is also sent from the heavens. He’s the oldest soul I’ve ever known. You can find him at the post office chatting with fellow 70-year-olds about the price of gas.

I recently met some of my SoulFam (official term) through an intuitive reading by Jessa Reed. I’ve journeyed & jumped timelines through many lifetimes with these dear friends. ✨
My days are spent supporting clients (mostly virtually); watering plants; tidying up; cooking meals; hiking; taking baths; walking our dog Prince; practicing yoga; kayaking; snowshoeing; hanging in the loft of our a-frame; making fires; sitting in saunas; bird watching, etc. Back to basics are my words to live by.
Mother Nature is my greatest teacher. Check out her magic:

I’m curious about showing up on Medium consistently & intuitively. I recognize there is a certain way of doing things here — but I’m aiming to maintain my passion while finding where I fit.
I’m a singer & am declaring that I’d like to sing again publicly! (*yikes*) There’s a lot to unpack from a strict music school background (picture ‘Glee’ before it was cool 🎵🤓).
I’m grateful for humans — like you (& that person next to you!). Do you think we’ll get to know more about this being alive thing? I hope so. It keeps me going.
