It’s a New Day: Moving to Dubai
| January 19, 2011 | Posted by caroline under myself, travels |
Since moving to Dubai 2weeks ago on a whim, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m transitioning from being a visitor here to someone who is building a life here.
Conquering My Greatest Fear
| October 31, 2010 | Posted by caroline under myself, on identity, personal, storytelling |
I often tell people that this has been the best year of my life. I’ve never been so consistently happy and emotionally stable. I could say thanks to a few specific people or experiences, but I think it’s mostly thanks to a lot of effort on my part not to fall to pieces. In this…
Scrawny Fat Girl Gets Fit, Part 2
| October 28, 2010 | Posted by caroline under lifestyle, myself |
So as you know, I’m trying to stay fit and healthy. Drinking a lot more water, smoking a lot less — I’d like to say I’m not smoking at all but that would be a lie. Last week I attended my second session of Booty Camp. Before I got there, I had contacted my instructor,…
Scrawny Fat Girl Gets Fit, Part 1
| October 20, 2010 | Posted by caroline under lifestyle, myself |
I get a bit apprehensive at the start of a new fitness program. It reminds me of the first day of school or a new job, when you don’t know what anyone will be like or if you’re going to do something wrong that everyone else looks down on. I know you’ve heard me say…
I loved New York City Until…
| July 16, 2010 | Posted by caroline under lifestyle, myself, personal, storytelling |
…until, New York let me down. Truly, it was a reality check — mesmerized by the streets that looked like Paris spiked with North America, caught up in the people that started conversations because they had nobody to talk to at home, captivated by the zeal of people’s lives….Just like that, I was entranced by…

most of the time, i;ve looked at her with envy. i blow her off in a fit of spite, while admiring her from the corner of my eye. she’s everything i;ve wanted to be she’s everything im not. she does all the things i wish i could do, says all the things i’ve been unable…
Writing for the love of it
| November 14, 2009 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, dreaming, lifestyle, myself, personal, storytelling |
God, I miss writing for the love of it. I never make the time these days, not even to write to myself. And when I do write to myself, they’re mangled indulgences text messaged to myself, often observations, regularly my internal conflicts. I am not emotionally nor mentally numbed, no, but I channel it…
CJAD interview with Dan Delmar and the Internet Personality
| March 18, 2009 | Posted by caroline under ethics, internet, myself, on identity, storytelling, technology, Uncategorized |
As some of you may’ve heard, I was interviewed by Dan Delmar Friday night on CJAD radio, in Montreal. I love the guy, we go way back to j-school days at Concordia University, studying journalism. I mean, we are very different from each other in many ways but I think ultimately we share a strong…
crossed
| February 15, 2009 | Posted by caroline under dreaming, freeform, myself |
I have learned to love a man. The hard way. Born beside, inside, I wore his clothes and bore his bruises. I followed his rules and knew my role. Played a different game, trained my voice not to be the same, I crossed my legs when told and appeared warm when cold. I stayed fragile.…
freelance life
| December 29, 2008 | Posted by caroline under lifestyle, myself, theories, Uncategorized |
my struggle to live beyond the 4 walls of an office begin here. stifled and uninspired, i awaited my departure from the environment, anticipating the day i would get laid off or come across my dream spot (or gold-bearing partner, whichever came first that would emancipate me from the 9 to 5 shackles). it’s not…
