 I usually don't talk about politics too much here on my blog (I reserve that for my Twitter account...LOLZ), but January 20th was such a special day in US history that even though I'm Canadian, I was deeply moved by the Inauguration Day ceremony. The Inauguration poet laureate Amanda Gorman and her poem The Hill We Climb was so powerful and inspiration that I thought I'd share it here. When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade We've braved the belly of the beast We've learned that quiet isn't always peace And the norms and notions of what just is Isn't always just-ice And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it Somehow we do it Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to

 So...since we are back in lockdown and stay-at-home order until Feb 10, I thought I'd share some of the stuff keeping me busy:) 1) Going out for walks 2) Knitting a blanket for one of my sisters 3) If you guys follow me on Twitter, you know I am currently in the middle of folding 1000 paper cranes (called senbazuru) Here is a video of me folding one:) 4) Art journalling Here is a flip through of my very first complete art journal:) 5) Watching TV shows and movies, and here are my faves:) Soul (Disney +) Probably one of my all-time fave Pixar movies. This is such an amazing movie, you guys! Highly recommend:) WandaVision Since I didn't really read any spoilers, I was quite confused watching the first two episodes, but man....Elizabeth Olsen was awesome.

 Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Here's hoping that 2021 will be waaaaaay different than 2020, and in a good way...not the "worser" kinda way.:P Anyhoo, I thought I'd share some stuff I've been loving currently:) 1) Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll I know I'm about 200 years behind this, but I just started bullet journaling in December, and I am now OBSESSED!

Bullet Journal Method book with my 2021 journal Here are some pages from my December journal.:) I like to doodle sometimes when journalling. 2) The Mandalorian Season 2 I like watching shows after all the episodes have aired so I can binge-watch it, and this is one of those shows. Man....I cried on the season fina
