I still remember the day I said: “I want to live in Canada and work in my field”. I was confident my English would improve soon enough to get a job in this industry that is about being a TOTAL PRO in the writing and speaking departments. The interesting part is that dreaming is as frequent as having to deal with the impostor syndrome. For … Continue reading My brain says: on it!
We’re about to celebrate our fourth anniversary in Canada. Little by little, we are getting used to running all kinds of errands, which I believe is key to strengthening this sense of belonging to the place we live in. However, stopping by the dry cleaner is still quite special to me. Before the pandemic, I noticed that some of our jackets needed cleaning that couldn’t … Continue reading The dry cleaner
Almost three years living in Canada, which means almost three years of dealing with my insecurities and learning from this culture as fast as I can.

The … Continue reading The Kingston Adventure (part 2): Being Thankful
Maybe you remember that post about the “Quarantine Stages”. Well, 👉👈 at this point, I guess we are beyond those stages. This is now our daily life, one that was learned under stressful conditions but it doesn’t surprise us anymore. I don’t know if you feel like this too but I don’t miss malls, movie theatres or restaurants, maybe because I’m thrilled with all the … Continue reading Pandemic Side Effects on this Radio Lady
If you usually read this blog, you must know I talk about issues (mostly related to our behaviours) from a positive perspective. I love to share the learnings, outcomes, my reflections on how can we improve and be happier, eco-friendlier, etc. However, considering that one of the premises is to keep it real, today I’ll tell you something I’m ashamed of; it’s something I’m not … Continue reading A charger for my husband
