After a tumultuous half year of helplessness, anger, heartbreak, tentative hope, healing and finally, strength and newfound happiness, the desire to write is slowly returning to me.

I’m heading North of the Arctic Watershed this weekend!
Now that's North.
I grew up in Northern Ontario, near the Quebec border. I was thirteen when I left home, moved down south and became the kickass urban diva I am today, but the part of me that ISN’T city bred could be divided into equal parts hayfield, ice fishing, rocky wilderness, blueberry picking and snow. My roots are still firmly and proudly planted in the North!
This weekend, I’m heading home to visit my father’s family. And for the first time in my life, I’m taking the train! Specifically, I’m on the Northlander, operated by Ontario Northland Railway. It’s kind of like VIA Rail’s older, less hip spinster cousin. And I’m having a blast!

So refreshing to see the mayor honouring the LGBTQ taxpayers of Toronto. Hopefully this is a first step, not an only step. #TOPoli
RT @JoshMatlow: I'm very proud of Mayor Ford today. He attended the PFLAG rainbow flag raising and told Toronto's LGBTQ community he stands with them.
RT @dreahouston: I was extremely impressed by Mayor Ford today, who read the proclamation at the @PFLAG Toronto #IDAHOT flag raising. #Canqueer
