Thanks to UNB's School of Leadership Studies for inviting me to facilitate an Enneagram workshop! I look forward to seeing everyone in two weeks for small group follow-up sessions. Teaching remotely was fun, and I feel more emotional than I expected after being "back at school"!

@MarijaSmits Thanks so much!

Losing a parent last year has made me reflect on my earliest experience with family grief, for a sister I never knew. Below is a personal essay I wrote about her for xoJane, originally published in 2015: The Shadow of My Dead Sister https://t.co/FaomYEZjsT

This Friday, I'm facilitating an Enneagram personality dynamics workshop for UNB's School of Leadership Studies, formerly known as Renaissance College, where I did my undergraduate degree. I'll be leading small-group sessions a couple weeks later. Very excited!

That's another manuscript done! I sent it to my publisher early. Time to celebrate!

@TheFOLD_ posted a reading challenge for this year that looks interesting. I'm not committing to it but will use the list for ideas, especially since the book I'm currently reading (Magic, Maps and Mischief) fits the January theme! https://t.co/CDft0GGziW

Happy 2026! Is anyone else doing a word of the year? Mine is "forward." I want to move forward in areas where I'm stuck and projects I have underway.
