![It’s a funny thing, living in Canada. We grow up watching American cartoons, then graduate to American sitcoms, then American news. Our culture, economy, politics and identity are so influenced by our neighbours south of the border, but when it comes to theirs, we’re voiceless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like many, I’ve been waiting four years for today. And like many, I’m scared. I don’t want to feel divided from my neighbours, whatever their nationality, race, gender or sexual identity. I want all of us to feel loved and connected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, so, I’m listening to a wise friend and doing what I can do today to be that connection. I’m posting here. I’m calling my family. I’m texting my friends. Because I believe #lovetrumpshate, and it’s always a choice—today and every day—to see our differences or see our similarities. To choose a party or choose the people. To choose division or choose love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I choose love. I hope you do too. Choose it with your vote, and choose it whoever is president. Because whoever’s elected, there will still be divisiveness. There will still be racism. There will still be refugees. There will still be climate change. There will still be a pandemic. And things may look a little different if change didn’t start with a president, but with ourselves.

Love y’all. And don’t forget to vote ✌🏻]()

I get it: As a one-woman show, it can be hard to invest the big bucks in creative, code, bookkeeping or w h a t e v e r. Every time a client values my work enough to sign the dotted line, I’m a) humbled AF and b) reminded that entrepreneurship requires an awkward ménage à trois of risk, fear and faith.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, put your money where your mouth is and start investing in others what you charge for yourself.
