Setting Boundaries 

Boundary setting is an important part of self care and is often overlooked in our digital environment.As an empathic healer and consultant I am often asked to provide my services and time at no charge, day or night, with little regard for personal and professional boundaries. This must stop. I am under advisement to ask […]

Inside the Birdcage – October -1, 2015

    This is an artist’s depiction of Isaac Umbauch, Stony Plain’s first mayor and Sherrif. During his tenure he chained CN Rail’s trains to the track for nonpayment of rent, built the first jail (using his basement originally; I used to play in his house) and built the first one-room schoolhouse. There’s a statue […]

Cam Girl Land #3

I started a video chat room on a free webcam/camblogging site which traditionally caters to the ever increasing demand for free sex.  Granted, as real estate goes, I probably could have found a better site for hosting purposes, but I’m not so sure about that.  http://www.onwebcam.com/PrivateCandy35#broadcast After all, if I am going to work in […]

This week has brought us, among other things, the promise that if we vote for the Conservative Party, that it will lead to the development of a a “Barbaric cultural […]

Inside the Birdcage – October 1, 2015

There are several changes being made to prostitution law. Prostitution law primarily effects me because my work put me in violation of it. Which is ridiculous. For me to just talk to someone about trafficking violations prostitution laws. There is contention from both within and without the sex industry as to whether or not prostitution […]

Business Idea

I often play a shopping and fashion game on Facebook called Mall World and Fashion Designer.  They interest me not so much because of the shopping part and not even so much because of the products available, but because of how they must operate on a financial level; it the game Fashion Designer for example, […]
