When I was in Calgary, I read 40 books. Not fluff books like Harlequin Romance (gag) and not novels or short stories by my literary heroines, Alice Munro and Margaret Atwood. Nope, I read about self-development and psychology and other academic texts to advance my already fairly vast knowledge of human behaviour. It is a […]
I Spent the Night in the Trunk of a White Nissan Altima
All Just Part of the Spiritual Adventures of AJ Plan So, I’m standing at the registration desk of the Eckhart Tolle “Joy of Being” retreat at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise ready to ask for a free ticket to the pricy yet sold out event. I’d already picked up a hitchhiker on my way up […]
Spiritual Junkie + My Naughtiest Not PC Snapchats (Episode 6)
This Post Mentions My Yoni but Subtle-y Because I’m Spiritual Hicks, Kahn, Kryon, Bashar, Bentinho, Teal and Tolle! Like any truly dedicated spiritual junkie would be, I’ve been on a monk-like retreat in the misty mountains of Bhutan. In my mind. But in actuality, in Petroleum City. And, like a spring butterfly I’m emerging from […]
Teal Swan, Totems, Tolle, GoFundFinn
Officially (Purposefully) Losing My “Mind” Calgary has been perfect for what I didn’t even know I needed. Every day that I look outside and there’s still snow on the ground, it feels like Christmas morning! The locals hate it, but I love it! It’s the winter I hoped and prayed for (and possibly manifested)! I’ve […]

Craving Pickles — Not Gerard Butler’s
My Life According to Google Search … I’ve decided to keep track of my life based on my Google searches. Given I haven’t had “any” in a long time (unless you include the action I’m getting in the naughty fantasies of Gerard Butler) it’s no surprise that first on the list is — Why am […]
I Fell off the Vanity Recovery Wagon in Vanitycouver + Snapchat Episode 5
My Secret to Staying Young Forever! After I published my memoir — Me: A Rewrite — in which I disclosed the cosmetic procedures I had up to the tender milestone of my 40th birthday, I rebelled. For those next few years, perhaps because of the shame of publicly disclosing my excessive focus on appearance, I […]
How to Marry Gerard Butler + Snapchat Episode 5
Or Luke Because Mr. Wilson Could Be More Christian-y I’m not saying I did magic mushrooms and I’m not saying I didn’t, but let’s just say someone was lying on the floor in front of my fireplace on New Year’s Day talking to her Higher Self — though, you could take out the “Higher” bit […]
Basic Household Necessities, Calgary Update + Snapchat Episode 4
Basic Needs in Cowtown (Or Really Anytown!) The good news is that I’ve been in my rental building for almost two months now, and I’m still not in the intercom system. That means when Canada Post tries to deliver packages, the delivery person can’t find me, and I’m forced to leave my hibernation mode and […]
Conversations With God
And, No, I Don’t Mean: Gerard Butler I Had a Hissy Fit at My Maker Here’s the deal: I’m a God-believing, church-service-watching, Joel-Osteen-preaching Jesus-freak. Whaaat? Oh, I know that statement alone is gonna scare off a bunch of y’all readers, so I need the rest of y’all to share my blog posts so I can […]
