𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝒻𝑒𝓁𝓉 𝒹𝒾

𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝒻𝑒𝓁𝓉 𝒹𝒾𝒻𝒻𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝑜𝒹𝒶𝓎…

Waking up and taking my time to get ready. Putting on an outfit that makes me feel confident and powerful. Hopping into an Uber to go to a downtown cafe without worrying about the price.

This was once the dream. Now it is my life.

The last year has been an exercise in patience. Waiting for the restrictions to end. Waiting for all the hard work to start paying off. Waiting to finally find the perfect place to settle down and start putting 100% effort into my goals.

That being said, I definitely wasn’t waiting for life to happen to me. I kept making moves and pushing career boundaries. I took every opportunity that presented itself to me and pivoted when that opportunity no longer served me.

And the last pivot ended with me here, sitting at a cafe sipping a black americano, writing my first book.

I am both excited and scared to begin this journey anew.

I’ve been writing for 15 years, but I’ve never committed to it 100% because I always had to place something higher on the priority list.

But now, there are no excuses. This is my life - as a writer.

I am going to share the entire journey with you.

I will show you what it takes to go from 3 million words in Scrivener to a series of self-published novels.

I will show you how I live a life full of experiences and then capture them in words on a page.

I’ve captured my entire journey from an 18-year-old girl living in a one-light town to becoming a powerhouse woman living in cities across the world. My writing delves into how I navigated life as a single woman until I was 31 years old. Each story details how I thrived in the world of men, dating, sex, career, travel, and power.

There are no filters. There are no apologies. Just pure, raw, unadulterated stories.

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓊

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓊𝓃.

Morning walks accompanied by an explosion of color painted across the sky. Afternoons spent bathed in warmth or shaded by palm trees. Evenings paired with wine-sipping and live music. Each day is spent immersed in experiences, writing, and good company.

Before living in Mexico, I never really understood the desire for perpetual summer. I've always been a fan of the changing seasons. Crisp white snow. Sunburst fall foliage. Bright pink cherry blossoms.

But now, sitting at a cafe surrounded by palm trees and brilliant yellow flowers… I am reminded of the Montreal summers spent sipping white Sangria on the rooftop of Hotel Nelligan, shaded by the bright yellow Veuve Cliquot umbrellas.

I am reminded of the summer spent thirty-two floors above the city streets of Toronto, sipping champagne at the bar of Köst, windows open and palm fronds fluttering in the warm summer breeze.

Two cities, two iterations of myself.

I've always been a firm believer that you can change everything in the blink of an eye. Step foot onto a plane and arrive as you wish, and not necessarily as you were.
Mexico - yet another iteration - has precipitated permanent change. A life of perpetual sunshine. A life of perpetual creation, exploration, and words on a blank page.

That is why, even as I prepare to begin a new chapter in Toronto, I envision myself on a terrace in Spain, sipping Champagne while the Mediterranean breeze flutters the skirts of my maxi dress. Toronto will always be my home, but Spain is my future sun.

As I share my journey as a sun-kissed writer, I hope for three things. To entertain you with experiences. To encourage you to follow your dreams. To inspire you to chase your own sun.
