What’s in a Nickname?

Growing up I was never really a fan of people calling me anything other than my full name: Whitney except my dad who called me T.J. after my middle names Theresa and June. I was supposed to just be Theresa June sans Whitney, but at the last possible moment (my birth) my mom decided to …

In My Mind’s Eye

Howdy dear readers! It is another week and another version of Writing Prompt Wednesday! I am finding this is one of my favourite posts to write as of late. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have loved writing them. Here we go: It was a news broadcast which completely changed the …

Meant to Read

To you dearest readers, I write on a day with clouds in the sky, gusts of strong wind, and icy rain which provide a heaviness to my state of mind. It is on days such as these I find myself curling up with my current read. Today I was thinking we should discuss the notion …

My Eyes Were Dim

Dear Readers, I would like to welcome you to the first edition of Writing Prompt Wednesdays, where I take a writing prompt from Pinterest or wherever I might come across one, and force myself to get some writing in.

This Who Wore it Best Wednesday post is brought to us by a childhood classic turned Disney favourite: Peter Pan. I have visited Magic Kingdom in Disney World a handful of times (all in my adulthood) and my favourite ride hands down is the Peter Pan ride. From the soaring rooftops in ships to the …

All The Names We Cannot Choose

For my book club this month we covered the amazing: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. This book was a masterpiece. I can see why it won a Pulitzer Prize. It was like viewing literary art. There were a few character names which resonated with me so I felt the need to …
