This makes my heart go “AH”

“I’ve been so young for so long and so old for longer – so heart wrinkled and naive all at once”

To the womxn in my life: I am standing on the shoulders of all of you. I am so in awe of the strength and resilience it takes to be a womxn. BE vulnerable. BE raw. BE A WOMXN SO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Scream it louder. Ugh I am so fired up about it I just love women. . . . . Happy #internationalwomensday 💛 Celebrate it. . . . I know I posted this last year but it resonates so deeply with me. Continuously reminding myself to a top apologizing for feeling, for emoting, for being a strong presence, for having an opinion. Stop apologizing for my BODY. #stopapologizing . . . Something else that I’ve been reflecting on as I delve further into my career as a #nurse is #womenshealth. How can we make sure womxn are better represented? Especially womxn from underrepresented populations. How can I create space for these individuals? How can I do better for my sisters. And then how can I stop apologizing for being “that” person for not letting the conversation end until this issue is brought up and solutions have been put to practice. . . . #selfcare #womxn #women #strength #resilience #feminist #feminism #womenempowerment #womensday #womensday2019 #healthcare #rpn #poetry #writing #poemporn #poetrycommunity

TLDR; comment your favourite low impact/ environmentally friendly travel hacks below⬇️ . . . Spent a very cold, Canadian weekend in the capital with my love. We talked about politics and how we might expand our careers in the hopes of making an impact. We froze our butts off for skating the canal and exploring a city we might one day live in!? We had hard discussions about doing life and lowering our impact. We ate really. good. vegan. food. We laughed a lot and there were many times we just looked at each other and were like wow. I’m doing life with my best friend. . . . Coming home though, we want to evaluate what we did right and how we could do better. How can we travel with a lower impact next time? Where can we do to decrease our waste. To what capacity did we succeed in doing justice to our earth while we took time for ourselves? I think we have a lot to learn, and admittedly a lot to improve on. Being environmentally conscious takes effort, time and organization. A commitment we are working so hard on making- and yet, we know we aren’t doing enough. We visited the exhibit “Anthropocene” which depicted the ways in which human impact has changed our planet. There is urgency to do better, and to do better now. Grateful for this opportunity to reflect, but reminding ourselves (myself) that the time is now. . . . And on that note, please leave your sustainable travel hacks in the comments below ⤵️😋 . . . #0waste #environmentalism #oneplanet #anthropocene #parliament #onpoli #tourism #travel #ottawa #canadian #writer #igwriters #blogger

Wrote it until I believed it and then by the end I think I actually understood it. #selfworth #selfcare #writersofinstagram #poetrycommunity #igwriters #writingcommunity #journal

Coming at you with some poor quality, goofy iPhone pics to remind you that IT’S NOT TOO LATE to get your flu shot! (Even if you just haven’t gotten around to it yet because you’re busy.. it happens! Exhibit A right here.) That’t right folks, if you don’t know where to go, message me and I will do the work for you and find the nearest provider near you. I got my flu shot for my 93 yr old Opa, your grandparents, my mom, your dad with a compromised immune system, the elderly women I’m going to share space with on the bus, my patients, my friend’s newborn, the list goes on. If you are able, which for various reasons - certain people are not. It might not be a bad idea to consider it! It's free!! If you wanna chat about how vaccines work, like the flu shot, my inbox is open! (Seriously, I used know very little about vaccines until I entered the health care world and had access to that education/understanding) It's really interesting stuff, blows my mind a bit. #scienceiscool #publichealth #allourhealth #flushot #hamont #nursing #ONHealth #vaccineswork #vaccinescauseadults #flufighter
