I never fully understood the need for closure. I never felt any emotional trigger when an event designed for closure happened in my life. Whether it was the end of significant life chapter or resolving a particular conflict, I don’t remember walking away, wiping my non-sweaty brow and saying “phew” … [Read more...]
#DreamShare
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a BC Lions cheerleader and a dentist. Something about sparkly Spandex booty shorts and power tools just spoke to me, I guess. The great thing about Canada is that no matter how ridiculous or misguided your dream is, the odds of you achieving it are a lot higher … [Read more...]
Something to Give Up
Sometimes you just need a chill weekend and I think this is the first weekend since LJ was born that we actually did just that - chilled.

One “Sweet” Noodle Pudding
So yesterday was Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. For most people, this entails fasting for 24 hours in order to reflect on the year behind us and the year that lies ahead. At sundown, we gather with family to break-fast. In my family, this means that each year, a different cousin steps up … [Read more...]
The Dust has Settled
I'm baaaack. So apparently I took my own advice and just checked out for the whole summer. Moving forward I promise to post more regularly. We have had one of the most insane two months of our lives and that's why I haven't been writing, despite having so much to write about! As you know on … [Read more...]
