Holidays are tough for some

Hi everyone.

As always, it seems I've slacked on posting here. Perhaps a New Year's resolution is in order to be better with this. Those are tough though, New Year's resolutions. We always have the greatest of intentions, but sometimes…

I live, work, and create on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron and the treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. I am honoured, humbled, and grateful to have continued opportunities to learn the true history of where I call home, and from those whose ancestors were the First Peoples of these lands. In return, it is my responsibility to advocate for and take personal steps towards reconciliation so that our collective present and future can be brighter than our past.
