Pilgrimage to Here
Creative MusingsI weave myth with everyday life, writing about the highs and lows of midlife thresholds, burnout, and embracing yourself.
Each post is an offering on the altar of becoming.
Still Dreaming, Still Becoming
Three days before turning 50, this midlife threshold note speaks to continuing to dream, honouring the love and friendships that carried me here, and celebrates a life that’s still becoming.

From Atlantic cliffs to Greek waves and Delphi’s oracle, this is a threshold piece about listening to the world, letting go of what you cannot hold and answering the ancient call to know yourself.
She grows from the ground up
From sunflowers and dead fawns to lost oceans and the myth of Clytie and Helios, this is a tender story of leaving Cape Breton, grieving what was and slowly growing from the ground up again.
