September 4 is back-to-school time for many children in our municipality, and that means busy crosswalks. When approaching intersections:
• Slow down
• Follow traffic rules
• Be mindful of other road users like cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles.

What I am working on: a nuanced inspection of my evangelical-influenced upbringing in a Canadian east coast mega church, how that intermingles with inherited family trauma and the struggle to find an identity as a girl through to adulthood.
A Memoir in Fragements Development — by Amy Grace
I am not the first who has put pen to paper to try to unravel how a religion was interwoven into every aspect of her upbringing and family, and I certainly won’t be the last.

How many stories have we been told over decades and centuries that are steeped and coded with mental illness and neurodivergence? The more I live, the more I feel as if many real-life and Fictional stories and narratives lost their plot before they began.

Came within a hair's breadth of losing my life or, at best, being severely injured at a local notorious Bedford crosswalk. New life goal: get a traffic stoplight installed. Daily, I watch cars speed through. I only cross when every vehicle is stopped, but after today's events, that's not enough.

Had a small meet up to discuss all things puritey culture and growing up in a mega church. Gave this book away and am ordering a new one so we can all go chapter by chapter together.

It’s Election Day.
Some fun facts :
- 107 years ago women in Nova Scotia finally got the right to Vote.
- 🇨🇦 has a government system called a Parliamentary System.
- Canadians vote for their Member of Parliament - not the party leader directly.
- However you vote today, keep your stick on the ice.

Almost without fail, walking during a writing day, especially after a writing session, will break open more of the piece I am working on. Something about it unlocks a secret part of my mind, heart and soul connection.

My lent-inspired fast from 'The News' is coming to an end. I plan to return to it more mindfully and meditatively.
I've been working on creating a more sustainable approach. Does anyone else feel that it's important to be mindful of news consumption?

I can tell when I am hitting on my personal trauma in my writing when I spend most of the day pacing and unable to sit with the words too long.

In my newsletter today, I confessed how much I want to leave social media altogether. This feels like an indulgent confession, but admittedly, I truly wish I could embrace that desire without self-doubt.

I am writing a book of essays.
I can promise that it will be a personal deep dive that sheds light on the importance and awareness of individuality, mental health and the quiet damage of an evangelical upbringing.

When I was 10 I mused outloud that there must be at least one four leaf clover in our yard & what a shame that my dad was mowing it away.
My mother scoffed. “those are all three leaf clover.Nothing more.”
I found this one in a race against a lawn mower.
This is your reminder: there is ALWAYS a 🍀.
