A few weeks ago, I shared my retrospection of what I had gained from the storytelling programme I was soon to be graduating from, but I never told you what I had written at the beginning as I embarked on that year long journey to discover that part of myself I had so long denied. As the world has now entered a new [Gregorian] year, and many are looking forward to what they want this year to be about, setting their goals to either lose that holiday weight, get that promotion, or buy a new ...

Taking Inventory
I graduated, but it didn’t feel like quite the accomplishment. Perhaps that’s from my own lack of personal emphasis. My husband even got mad at me when I told him we wouldn't be attending, but I had my reasons, none of which were because I didn't want to go. Except leading up to the event, I wondered if I had made the right choice.

Where’s Lynn?
Hello, all! It's been a while; more than a while. I should probably take this moment to at least give you a bit of an update. Hubs and I just celebrated two years of marriage last month. (Two years! Can you believe it?!) I've inevitably switched to drinking tea instead of coffee on the regular like the anglophile that I am. Currently, I'm unemployed, and you know how the hubs developed epilepsy in 2020? Well, last year, we found out my sister is narcoleptic. Crazy, right? Thus, what ...
