Acknowledging the Changes in Attention, and Relating it to my Personal vs. Professional Life

September 20, 2016

Once upon a time, I was a dorky, shy, chubby teenage girl. Occasionally people would talk to me, but no one was interested in dating me, and no one told me they were physically attracted to me. I was probably the female equivalent of the dudes who get upset because women don’t pay attention to … More Acknowledging the Changes in Attention, and Relating it to my Personal vs. Professional Life

December 1, 2015

This post is part review, part personal commentary. I turned 32 yesterday, and my gift from my husband’s parents was a ticket to see If/Then at SHN Orpheum in San Francisco. I really enjoyed it, and it brought up a lot of reflection and thoughts for me, so I wanted to share some of them … More Diversity and Emotional Connection with the Musical If/Then

On Motivation, Realistic Goals, and Living the Dream

November 5, 2015

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had creativity pouring through my veins. In primary school, I wrote stories and plays, often based on my favourite things at the time like Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jurassic Park, and Disney’s Aladdin. I acted in the Chipmunks plays I wrote, and … More On Motivation, Realistic Goals, and Living the Dream

The Perfect Façade

April 19, 2013

Sometimes I get the impression people think I have a perfect life. In fact my husband got mad at someone on Facebook a while back because they dared to suggest I had some pretty good things going for me. I guess that’s partly my fault, because I try not to focus on the negatives that … More The Perfect Façade

Tired of Hiding

November 22, 2012

This is probably going to be the hardest public blog post I’ll ever write in my life. When fear consumes you and prevents you from being true to yourself – from telling the people who matter the most to you who you really are, because you’re afraid of how they’ll react – then you’re no … More Tired of Hiding
