Just a little excited that I've known this gorgeous creature for a year! ⚢ : : : #me #selfie #kaibear #oneyear #love #lesbiansofinstagram #lesbian #love #instalove #excited #myweirdface #datenight #girlfriends #happy
This view stole my breath. Taken on Centennial Ridges Trail in Algonquin Park. I broke my personal best on this hike and went even faster than the time the mosquitoes flanked me! : : : #viewfromthetop #hike #hikedyke #trail #trailblazer #nature #beauty #view #algonquin #algonquinpark #algonquinprovincialpark #ontario #colour #fall #centennialridges #10k #trailrunning #solo #yearlytradition #ritualhike
Amazing dinner at Tall Trees restaurant to celebrate meeting @kaikanuck one year ago. Can't wait to show you all the present she made me... 💕 One year ago I had just returned from a 45-day cross-Canada roadtrip with my sister. It changed my perspective, my body, and my life. 💕 Kai was grieving her mom and speaking on the subject of medical assistance in dying. At the time, I felt I was finally accessing the depth of my own voice. Meeting was serendipitous, which is my favourite way to meet! 💕 Kai brings so much lightness and laughter to my life. She helped me learn to be playful again, and not take myself - or anything - so seriously that it hurts my heart. 💕 I didn't know I needed her wisdom, her generosity, her spirit. But the lessons and gifts I've received since meeting her have brought me closest to myself. : : : #food #tw #talltrees #restaurant #huntsville #muskoka #local #poutine #duckconfit #threeonionsoup #frenchonionsoup #pecantart #dessert #anniversary #meetversary #kaibear
My new eating protocol is eating whatever I want. I've never tried this before. As someone who has struggled with disordered eating since my preteens, I have followed and broken every eating rule you can imagine. I've never gone a stretch of time without rules. Something has always been off limits - something has always been 'bad'. 🍟 I've decided to simply continue to educate myself as much as possible about food, habits, EDs, agriculture, etc, and naturally let this information change my mind without enforcing anything. 🍟 I am releasing myself from the shame, self-flagellation, and unkindness that I have wielded against myself like a weapon for as long as I can remember. 🍟 I am embracing my body, her quirks, her desires, her presence... And her appetite. : : : #food #tw #ed #eatingdisorder #me #habits #health #wellness #love #selflove #embrace #shame #riotsnotdiets #body #bodypositive #cupcake #recovery #thoughts #healing #growth #gratitude
This is a photo of me only minutes before something tragic and difficult to comprehend occurred before my eyes. My girlfriend @kaikanuck and I were at the beaches in Toronto, by the old waterworks building. It was a chilly day with massive waves on Lake Ontario. The water was clouded and choppy. Some of the photos I took of the waves attest to the power of nature. As we walked by the water, we saw 4 people, 3 young men and a young woman, standing in swimsuits with wakeboards. They looked as though they were contemplating going surfing. One young man tucked his board behind a tree and we thought they'd thought better of it. But he got back into the water and after a moment of splashing about in the shallows, he went in deeper. We could tell the moment the water was deeper than he was tall. As I'm writing this, I've decided not to continue with typing on my phone. I want to finish on my laptop and take time with this. I suspect it will be up on kathleenmay.ca shortly. Apologies. : : : #writing #blog #me #toronto #beaches #waterworks #lakeOntario #greatlakes #truestory #tw #death #personal #water #waves
So grateful to get to be a part of the I GOT THIS - Unlocking Your Instincts program.
