I’ve always had good teeth.
Not a perfect smile, but perfectly functional teeth. I’ve never had “American White” teeth, but they aren’t heavily stained either.

No Way To Make This Interesting
In high school, I was lucky enough to have some really passionate teachers. They really knew their material because it seemed like they were interested in the material and subject, and found a way to embellish and bring the material to life despite the constraints of the provincial curriculum.
Surf Business Update
…life isn’t always a clear separation of business, work, personal time, personal interests, friends, and family. They intersect and overlap.
Financial Check-In: Debt Free
Not going to lie, I was really down for months as I steadily progressed towards this situation. There were some really dark moments where I questioned everything I was doing. Were all these sacrifices really going to be worth it? Would I ever get to that moment where I paid off my credit card? Would I ever know life without debt? Would I ever move forward with my life again?
Passion Project
With my interest in writing, it probably comes as no surprise that I had a blog as soon as they had been invented. “Weblogs” were one of the first flexes the average, everyday internet user had to begin expressing ideas that were never going to get published in mainstream media.
Book Review: Total Money Makeover
I recently relistened to Dave Ramsey’s book “Total Money Makeover” because I remember it being pivotal to how I spent my money after completing University for my nursing degree. At the time I was $40,000 and then some in debt because of student loans despite living at home for most of it.
TL;DR I am super broke now, I need some motivation, and I’m working hard to get my finances sorted out again.
Reflection
When I look at my goals from 2018, so many of them were not relevant to my life. I just didn’t know it at the time. I was still trying to hold onto my old life. My pre-divorced life. My life of youth and vitality. My life of potential and opportunity. The goals I had set in 2018 were an attempt to recapture a part of my life that I had lost and wasn’t ready to admit to it being changed and gone forever.
Mop Top
My hair and I have had a funny relationship throughout my life.
Shifting Nurse Career Roles
When I originally made my List of Goals a few years ago it was largely due to feeling like I was trapped in my circumstances. At the time, I had recently split from my then husband and was adjusting to life on my own. The nursing job I was in had been so important to get when I did: it was in that moment that I would either continue with nursing or give it up forever.
Walk 2/51: Fistral to Towan Headland
Not only has the COVID-19 pandemic been a weird time full stop. It’s been a weird time to try and accomplish goals, especially ones that involve exploring.
New Year New Blog
It’s not what you think.
I wasn’t waiting for the turn of the decade to create a New Year’s Resolution and start another blog, although I can appreciate the timing is suspicious.
