October Snapshots
October 2020. A bittersweet month. A milestone month. An unexpected month. A month when, a year ago, my best friend asked me to marry him. The month we were supposed to have our Fall wedding at a rustic restaurant physically surrounded by our close family and friends. Instead, it has become a month nearing the…

September Snapshots
Does anyone else feel a shift during the month of September? To me, the shift feels deeply internal, almost like a cosmic pull. September is my birth month, so maybe that’s when Virgo energy is in full frequency as the sun and moon live in its constellation. Or maybe that’s just the magic of September.…

Taking The Summer Off
I have to say, this summer is one for the books. Truly one of the best. Certainly, the highlight of this summer was getting married and the enjoyment of planning our mini wedding. A “fun project”, as my Mom put it. And it’s true. I’ll always look back at planning our wedding as being a…

Beirut 🖤
It’s been a heavy week. No matter how much I tried to distract myself, my heart kept being pulled back to my wounded, aching Lebanon. The morning after the explosion in Beirut, I went for a run to clear my mind, and when I reached the lake, I looked at the blue waves and I…

Quarantine Life in Photos
This past weekend marked exactly three months since quarantine began. As restrictions slowly start to loosen up in our city, I thought I’d document these last months in photos. My goal was to highlight beauty that was present during a period when time seemed uncertain and when time truly stood still. Let’s talk about time…

The Best Sunsets of My Life
I haven’t seen a sunset in over a month. That’s 31 days of Spring without a sunset. For a lot of us right now, it’s an unusual new reality. Sunsets are a daily occurrence that some may take for granted, but not me. I’m that quintessential sucker for sunsets. Why? Because even though I’ve seen…

Being Present During a Busy Time
The start of this year has kept us away from our usual Winter ritual of binge-watching / snacking / cocooning. I mean, that’s still happening (currently Netlfixing Schitt’s Creek), only in much smaller frequencies than we’ve been known to do. For starters, I’ve been taking a Product Management course. Just before the Holidays, I felt…

Bittersweet Farewell to October
The Fall season has been pretty extraordinary this year. So much so that I want to savour it in this blog post, especially since it’s been snowing and already below zero cold since Monday. Switching my leather jacket to a winter parka was a quick adjustment I wasn’t ready to make so suddenly. I was…

A Love Story in Montreal
They say that you learn a lot about someone when you travel with them, and that couldn’t be more true. Montreal represents a special milestone in our story, and not just because we are poutine enthusiasts or because I’m a proud Francophone. Montreal was the first trip we took together, and that trip was the…
