3/29/2016 0 Comments ForgivenessCame to the realization that I started this blog to document,for myself, the process of forgiveness. If you know me you are aware of what transipred over the last year. February 2015 we took in a family member, who had been in a state of chaos and survival their whole life. We thought we could help but we're just inviting that chaos into our lives which resulted in a parting of ways on very negative terms. Both parties are left hurt, lawyer poor and wondering how things could have been different. The experience effected my whole family and left me in a state of depression, anger and self doubt.
Like my family member when faced with chaos I create more chaos without even trying. Exercise, healthy eating, school, r+f, renovations and this blog are all reactions to my inner chaos. Planning is my way of finding balance, comfort and routine. They are all positive objectives as long as I maintain consistency. This morning I intended on a longer run but ran into a coyote (seriously) so cut it short and made a great omelet and lunch instead. One day at a time I will forgive them and more importantly myself.

About me
I grew up in Athabasca, AB and have spent the majority of my life in Northern Alberta or Montreal, PQ. My husband has been in Fort McMurray since the 70s and continues to love this town and all that it has to offer. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts, spending our summer weekends quadding and camping. As Opimian members we thoroughly enjoy wine pairings and tastings and are working on our wine collection. Ralph is a carpenter by trade and has framed more houses in Fort McMurray than I could count and knows the city inside and out. I work all throughout the region from the NWT to Janvier for the tribal council. My passion is doodling and photography which is featured throughout the website (various mediums), writing, Indigenous studies, and learning in general. Categories |
