We were the last people at #highfalls before the town closed it down. Absolutely stunning water flow. : : : #water #falls #waterfall #muskoka #Bracebridge #highfallsroad #trees #spring #springthaw #aprilshowers #flood
Yes I learned a lot about #vodka - but also I drank a lot of vodka! #datenight #nightout #fridaymood #tbt #estonian #tasting #toronto #yum
The gf and I at an amazing #vodka tasting and #estonian food demonstration in #toronto! Cheers to learning new things. ♥
Gorgeous little fireplace at the room @kaikanuck and I stayed at Friday night. Friday was a day to remember! 🔥 It started Thursday night at the women's shelter where I work - I had a really great night with the women and I've never felt more competent in this job, which is perfect because I'm finally on the team for good. 🔥 A co-worker came in early so I could leave on time to drive to Bracebridge - before I left though, I changed into my #classy outfit and promptly ripped the thigh right open (you know, where the chub rub makes things a little thin 😂). Oh well, going to have to wear my nightshift comfies for the big talk! 🔥 Off to Bracebridge to set up my PowerPoint for my 45-minute talk for 150 grade 7/8 girls on "13 Things I Wish I'd Known at 13" which included an intense lesson on women's history and lots of self-care and bravery. I think it went amazing, though there's no denying the imposter syndrome hit hard. 🔥 Then to my third job of the day! I do community outreach with a young woman and we had a really great day. I learn so much from her and always enjoy exposing her to new experiences! 🔥 Now it's only 4pm and off to Toronto I go with my girlfriend! We have plans to attend a vodka tasting and Estonian cooking demonstration by @paullillakas. The vodka tasting was so interesting and I didn't know how much I didn't know about it! But the cooking demo was so fun and I know Kai really loved connecting with that aspect of her culture. 🔥 Off to the airbnb, a lovely room in a giant house in the #gaybourhood. Somehow I was wired for sound despite not having properly slept since Tuesday night, so we decided to make the most of being dressed up and tipsy and go for a night on the town! 🔥 A little bummed that there didn't seem to be any place just for lesbians - since Kai is older and from Toronto, she experienced that heyday, but I never did. We still had a blast dancing and loving one another, and when I got a vodka shot at one of the bars, well, I knew what I was missing! Finally, we returned to the room. ⚢ . #toronto #roadtrip #ustime #estonian #vodkatasting #fridaymood #lesbian #keynote #workandplay #balance #love #fireplace #moments #grateful
I had applied to be a speaker for the #TEDxOrillia. I had wanted it pretty bad! It's been a dream of mine since I was in my first year of university, where my curiosity led me down endless rabbit holes to concepts and perspectives I'd never know existed. 🕳 But my proposal wasn't chosen and there isn't a clear why - other than there were soo many brilliant speakers to choose from, of course! 📣 I wanted that stage because I wanted to share my story. But the truth is, I am just the newly emerged butterfly from the chrysalis and some of the recent tellings have been raw and unshaped (I say this with pure love to the self who spoke those words - she was and is learning). ♥ In the next year, huge things are happening for me. I have more speaking engagements, I'm shopping for publishers for my novels, I'm going to Hawaii (!!), and I'm officially starting my tiny house journey. 🏡 By the time TED is back in town, I just might have a story, a Big Idea, with smooth edges and a call to action. This wasn't my year, and I got to see my beloved friends take the stage with their varied but valuable messages. 📜 I am grateful, I am growing, I am getting ready. . . . #me #bykai #lesbiansofig #lesbiansofinstgram #lesbian #womenwithcoloredhair #alleyway #photoshootmoment #instagramwife #mermaidhair #dykepride #growthmoment #grateful #gratitude #iloveme #finally #gratitudemoment #kaicapturesme #fupapride #learning #notalessbutalesson #tedx #technologyeducationdesign #speaker #igotthis #coddiwomple #nofiveyearplan #livewithpurpose #myheartisfull
Dream come true to watch my mentor @nancyosborne_igotthis do what she does so very well - educate, elucidate, and spin a hell of a yarn!
