Listen: I have a three-fold spiritual (and mental health) practice that I like to call “wonder-wonder-wander”. It has become especially relevant to me in recent months while this pandemic winter drags on and threatens to drag me under the waves of melancholy...
Listen to Heather read the post... Yesterday, I came undone. It’s been a rough week. With our province on lockdown (no restaurants, gyms, coffee shops or movie theatres are open, and stores can only sell essential items), the infection numbers staying...
listen to me read the post... I remember that moment clearly. I was sitting in the rocking chair in the tiny living room of the first home I owned with my ex-husband, I was five months pregnant with my first daughter, and I was in complete and utter despair. I...
Listen to Heather read the post... A couple of weeks ago, I shared a video on social media of the moment I first glimpsed a printed copy of my book. It was a fun little moment – one I’ve waited many years for – and I wanted to share it with my friends and...
