Christine http://www.mombie.com I'm a writer/storyteller/director/creativity & lifestory coach with a black belt in ITF Taekwon-do. I read voraciously and I write like my fingers are on fire. I'm the founder and Co-Chair of the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl and I'm the current president of the St. John's Storytelling Festival. I bake a mean chocolate chip cookie.

I wish I could track things.

It feels like I have had a lot of migraines in the first two months of this year.

It would be great to have actually made a record of when I have them, how I felt before they started, how long they took to dissipate.

But it is so damn hard for me to track things like that.

It feels incredibly stressful and upsetting to even consider it.

I’m sure I am overthinking the process but I haven’t found a way around it yet.

March Plan

Looking forward to a quieter week

Last week, I had all sorts of complicated events and activities and while everything went fine, I am completely worn out.

This week has a lot of stuff in it too but it should be a bit more straightforward.

Here’s hoping I can make that be true.

Finally, a good walk

It’s been over a week since Khalee and I have been able to take a long walk but today we walked in the sunshine down sidewalks that were mostly cleared of snow.

The walk itself was great but the feeling that spring will eventually come was even better.

At least it looks cool

We had an ice storm overnight and, even though it has kind of ruined the snow, it has left the backyard looking pretty.
