If you feel like you always need new knowledge or skills… (March 2022)
If you feel lost or directionless and, as a result, feel like you constantly need to learn something new or acquire new skills, remember that knowledge and skills cannot give you a sense of direction. Knowledge and skills are not the end goal. Your bigger vision for...
Money doesn’t really represent freedom (March 2022)
March 2022 Update: Fun fact! I've recently learned my "soul urge" number in numerology is 8, which is all about money, power, abundance, etc. Of COURSE this is a big part of my life journey 😅. Stay tuned for future numerology posts! Original blog post: I was wrong...
How can I prevent dry lips in Winter? (December 2021)
As a lifelong dry-lip-haver, I know what it’s like to cycle through lip balm after lip balm promising “long lasting moisture.” Most of them don’t deliver. BUT, I can tell you what works for me (a white girl in Canada), and has become my go-to method for preventing dry...
Doing vs Being (December 2021)
“It’s not about what you’re doing, it’s how you’re being.” “Do less, earn more.” “Hustle culture is out!” “Rest, rest, rest!” I used to think I completely understood these. And I leaned in hard to them. Rest, you say? On it. There is no absence of “doing.” You are...
My first attempt at photo manipulation / compositing in Photoshop (December 2021)
Okay, y’all. Pretty much since I first heard the word “Photoshop” (many, many years ago) I thought it was so complicated. As a photographer, I avoided using it as much as possible. I edit almost strictly in Lightroom (because, to me, it just clicks). I HAVE used...
Becoming Psychic: Part 2 (November 2021)
I originally started writing this second instalment of my “Becoming Psychic” series back in FEBRUARY (2021). I know, I know. I came back to it in April and made some updates, and then...well, here we are, in November 2021, and I’m only just finishing it now...
Self-exploration through self-portraits (November 2021)
It started in the Fall of 2020. The retreat into the cocoon. Who am I beneath all these layers? The ones I’ve created and the ones that have been placed on me? Who am I when mine are the only eyes watching? How do I see myself? Who do I envision myself to be? What...
Astral travel and the chicken/egg question (November 2021)
“Um, wait, what did you just say, Melissa?” Let’s just do a quick intro on astral travel AKA astral projection. Astral travel is a kind of out-of-body experience in which one travels somewhere else. I’ve seen it described as something intentional, but I think...
Learning to show up confidently and authentically (January 21, 2022)
I think for most people, the end of the calendar year is a time of reflection and, perhaps, planning for the year to come. I'm not really a planner. I tend to focus on the present and make decisions about the future when it becomes the present 😆 (seriously, the most...
One of the first things I heard when starting an OnlyFans account (October 2021)
So, as you may have read or seen, I started an OnlyFans account, which I talk about in this post, including why I decided to create it (March 2023 Update: This page has evolved since first starting it and it is now 🌶🌶🌶, as well.) Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the...
