Assumptions Make an Ass Of Us I was trying to communicate to a friend why it bothered me when a guy I recently met avoided topics we disagree on. Instead of having the curiosity to find understanding, common ground, or even dealbreakers, I assumed that he assumed something bad about me. I’d met the friend […]
The Skinny on Being Fat
Being Fat (Or At Least, Feeling Fat) First of all, if you like being fat, good for you, own it! If you don’t like it, that sucks. I’m not actually that fat. Note the word “that” connoting I am fat but there is room to grow, after all. Let’s reframe this. I’m the fattest I’ve […]
Officially Diagnosed With ME/CFS
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I’m sitting in the clinic’s patient room waiting for the doctor with a mix of hope and dread. Hope that he’ll tell me what’s wrong with me. Dread that he won’t believe me or he’ll misdiagnose me like the many other medical practitioners. A few believed me until all their […]
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.

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.

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 […]
Dr. Feel Good Plus AJ RX: SnapSnicker aka Snapchat Episode 3
Warning: This Blog Talks About My Vagina. (Yes, Again.) Whoops! Forgot to publish this one. Sorry, it’s a little late outta the gate. *meh, shrug* I’m visiting family. While at my brother and sister-in-law’s place, I mention that I’d like to get “checked out” before heading off to a new province with an unfamiliar medical […]
How to Get Over Depression Fast! (If Temporarily.) Snapchat Episode 2
#DepressionSucks(TheLifeOutOfMeAndYou) Hey! I wrote this some time ago and thought I’d posted it (somewhere), but I can’t find it, so here it is, possibly again. I’ll blame my memory loss on the pit I was in at the time. Depression messes with the mind and renders those suffering with it helplessly forgetful. That’s my story […]
How To Cure Depression With Snapchat! Episode 1
Depression Caused by Loss of A Loved One ― Namely, MLM… This is an impromptu post—I haven’t written in so long that I feel a little guilty. Well, not really. But whatever, I wanted to share some silliness in case it helps boost your mood. I started doing Snapchat for My Sister (and myself) after […]
