I am not an artist but I do excel at the art of appreciation. That's why I created "Pop Color Fan", a page where I can fangirl out about the bold and bright brands and creators catching my eye.

In the wise words of Janelle Monáe, "You gotta keep your balance"

I doubt 2010's "Tightrope" was about the practice of mood tracking, but it has become the theme song for my monthly mood check-in.

Whether your high or low this month, a reminder to check in with your mental and emotional balance.

The STOP skill was the first skill I learned in my Dialectical Behavioural Therapy course this year and I use it everyday.

A reminder this Black Friday, to STOP and set aside some pennies for your own self-care practice. Choose a course, a coach, a journal, a book, a humble t-shirt or whatever is your jam.😉

Other recommendations for offerings:
+ Positive psychology groups
(Thrive - Live well. Be happy.)
+ Mindset coaching (The Kick Ass Mom Academy)
+ Feminist education (The f school)

My new jean jacket has me listening to "Dirty Jeans" and embracing the extra ordinary.

A Parkdale vintage spree, a Dundas bar crawl, a daily walk around the block. This ordinary is my social anxiety's extraordinary.

I'm most chuffed that my feminist t-shirts are seeing some light again.

I've been reminding myself "this is for the next socially anxious you, and the next socially anxious you after that, and the next socially anxious you after that..."

Now I just need some pins to pimp my new denim dream. Any suggestions?

You've got soul! I've got soul! We all have soul!

Need some mood-setting music for your Monday? I've been leaning on Caroline Rose's "Soul No. 5" to foster a little fire in my tired eyes.

Bang bang and away we go.

It's World Teachers' Day and I can't miss my chance to spotlight the most important Teacher in my life, my sister B! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Upon Your Elbow started as a story about balancing fear with hope. No one has taught me this balance better than my sister. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thank you to her and all the teachers who have adapted to adversity, and are creating a more equal, diverse and emotionally intelligent future.⁠⁠

Been in the darkness 'til you came along⁠⁠
Showed me the daylight, yeah⁠⁠
⁠⁠
― Emily King, "Remind Me"⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This one goes out to all the women challenged by mental illness who share their stories of struggle and hope. When I suffer in silence you show me how to change the conversation, inside and out.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There is more sunlight on mental health now than ever before. You did that.⁠⁠

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
― Maya Angelou⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This week my therapist reminded me to look at survival not as a failure to thrive, but as a willingness to grow.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today I am excited to enroll in the Fall THRIVE2021 and take the next step in learning self-care.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
At the beginning of the year I highlighted THRIVE2021 in my aspirational self-care syllabus. This Ontario-based group program by empowers women with positive psychology.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you're looking for an intimate and proactive group program, today is the last day to get 40% off. Check it out at: https://www.livewellbehappy.ca/thrive2021 ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There's even a special rate for those who do THRIVE2021 with a friend, so why not tag a friend to thrive with.
