Why I started this blog
I turned 50 in the summer of 2025. It made living the life I want much more urgent. For me, that life includes blogging to chronicle my journey to a life less confined.
My mortality doesn’t seem as far away anymore. I don’t want to get to the end and look back feeling like I wasted the precious life I was given.
I’ve been very blessed so far, but I feel like there’s still so much more I want to experience, so I’d better get to it before I run out of time.
I’m hoping this blog can become a safe space, a positive community for anyone who wants to be a part of it. I’m hoping some of the things I share will be helpful for someone. If I can help one person make their life better, it’s worth it.
About Me
As I mentioned, I recently turned 50, which brings with it perimenopause to go along with my ADHD, depression and occasional anxiety. Good times all around.
I’m the grateful mother of two amazing young adults, a daughter and a son, both in their early twenties and currently thriving!
I was married to their father for nearly a decade but have been divorced for close to twenty years. I’m at the point now where I’m open to a new relationship, but not actively seeking one.
I’m cis (she/her), straight, and caucasian (ancestors from France and I’m bilingual).
My nickname is Bridge, and I currently reside in Saskatoon (YXE), nicknamed the City of Bridges. I plan to do a lot more travelling.
I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I feel there are far too many people who are guided by their own ego and insecurities, and it’s destroying the world.
The Patriarchy is toxic to everyone and needs to be replaced by a matriarchal society where we work in collaboration for the greater good and where our most vulnerable are centred and protected.
I’ve learned that you don’t need to approve of, agree with, or even understand something in order to respect it.
I’m spiritual, meaning I believe we are all connected to each other and to the infinite, but I don’t practice any religion. I believe religion should be treated as an invitation, not an obligation. It certainly shouldn’t be weaponized in service to one’s ego or to impose one’s beliefs on others.
Because women bring life into this world, they should be revered, not forced to be submissive. This whole “men are superior” thing is total crap. The proof is that it requires violence and exploitation to maintain.
I’m SO fed up with people being awful to each other. It’s time for peace.
