Three weeks ago I was approached to be a guest on a podcast series launching this summer. Naturally I screamed yes before actually thinking it through (and yes I am well aware that saying yes on impulse may one day be my downfall); but I was excited about the project and downright stoked to be…

SclScn 2.0
If you follow me on Instagram, then you likely already know that I have decided to re-launch SclScn. When I initially created this site, I was just starting to figure out who I was and what would fulfill me as I navigate my way through life. This blog has been a platform for every emotion…
The art of gratitude
I’m a big fan of birthday’s… in fact, they’ve always been my favourite thing to celebrate. Birthday’s represent significant beginnings (from the moment you take your very first breath and every milestone and achievement you experience thereafter). As such, I’ve always used my birthday as a time to reflect on the past, reassess my priorities…
The art of trusting
There’s been a lot of chatter regarding my last blog post so please treat this as a continuation piece. I get it, you all have questions – Who is Mr Nike Store? Why don’t you seem to have trust issues? Let’s talk about trust (and not talk about my avoidance of the very popular question…
The art of healing
I always seem to put this blog on the back burner when life gets busy; but as the 4th quarter of 2018 rapidly approaches, this seemed like an appropriate time to re-engage with you, my digital friends. Intro: In the past, I’ve unapologetically used this blog as a digital note pad. Some of you have…
How would you live if you weren’t afraid?
The absence of an experience has always been my greatest fear and for most of my adult life, I’ve structured my entire belief system and justified my actions based on this fear. I defined my success through rigid, self imposed forms of measurement and felt serious anxiety whenever I felt like I was off track…
Great Expectations
Most humans have a strong desire to leave behind a significant legacy and this is especially true in my friendship circle. As amazing as it is to acknowledge that our hearts are in the right place, there’s been a major tactical error on our part and it’s the direct result of our society’s obsession with…
There’s science, logic, reason, and then there’s love
Someone once told me that my former partner would never be able to love me the way I deserve to be loved. He told me it was evident in my energy, my behaviour, but most of all in my soul. When he said it I brushed it off, after all, what did he know? He…
The perfect stranger
I had a conversation with a perfect stranger a few weeks ago on my flight from Toronto to Dubai. He was kind enough to allow me to share our conversation with you all. Happy reading! *wink*
Dating in the desert
I’ve officially been away for five months and have been told that it’s time for a blog post on feelings… Moving makes it abundantly clear how you feel about people. You quickly realize who you’ll stay up late and lose sleep to talk to; who you wish could be by your side for each and…
Closing Chapter 2015
It has always been extremely important to me to gain as much knowledge as possible from experiences in my life. A few months ago, however, I realized that many of the life experiences I identified as positive and true were almost inauthentic as a result of me pre-determining (I’m a planner by nature) them to…
Solitude
Many people believe that choosing to be alone is cause for concern; and without a doubt, companionship and the process of giving and receiving love is one of the most necessary things in life. However, over the last few years I have firmly believed that I would rather be alone than be in a relationship that…
