Summer blooms happening indoors too! I’m obsessed with Hoya blossoms because they look like plastic. But they’re 💯 plant!

How is it already LATE MAY? I have updates on the publication process for MUTED COLOURS, my garden, and Media Club recommendations featuring Asian creatives! Check out my full Substack post! juicygreenmom.substack.com/p/may-musings

ME AND WHITE SUPREMACY is one of many sources I cite in MUTED COLOURS, for good reason! I first borrowed the audiobook, then bought my own copy to highlight. Layla F. Saad explains concepts so well. It is a seminal book in racial justice. substack post: open.substack.com/pub/juicygre...

BOOK COVER REVEAL!!!! My book MUTED COLOURS is releasing January 12, 2027 with @dundurnpress.bsky.social and LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL COVER designed by Laura Boyle! Psst… it’s available to pre-order in Canada - check out indiebookstores.ca to get it from an independent book store near you!

It’s World Autism Acceptance Day (and month)! I see so many autistic people from young children, teens and young adults, and grown-ass adults, who deal with so much trauma associated with the pain of never being accepted. Of never being allowed to be themselves. 1/3

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Condemn Israel’s genocide in Lebanon. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/cond...

Ok so I’m catching up on episodes and this one was so beautiful. Vulnerable and honest and hopeful. So so lovely! ❤️👏

I finally watched Heated Rivalry after reading the first 3 books by Rachel Reid (It was my reward for finishing my book edits because I knew I would binge watch) - WOW. It’s rare that I think a screen adaptation is as good as a book (I mean, I’m kinda biased as an author…) but they really nailed it.

Premier Danielle Smith is building a 1,200-strong provincial police force that nobody wants. Her track record of political interference in law enforcement and the judiciary makes it essential to stop her. Send her a message and join the fight now. noalbertaice.ca

Can Josh Johnson be any more excellent at tackling controversial topics with grace, intelligence, and humour?? youtu.be/TqExZev61aM?...

SNEAK PEAK BEHIND-THE-SCENES! I’m living the uber glamorous life of a soon-to-be published author, y’all! Currently it looks like reading through my manuscript for the umpteenth time to catch final edits before my deadline. GLAMOROUS, right??

My substack has gone through a rebrand AND I have a #bookreview of the recently released book DECOLONIZATION AND ME. Spoiler alert: it is a MUST READ! Read my full #substack post for my takeaways. open.substack.com/pub/juicygre...

I had big plans to continue working on novel revisions, but I have not been able to due to my writing time being taken by MUTED COLOURS (my nonfiction book publishing January 2027). Edits, funding applications, promotional prep - I know it’s important work as an author… 1/2

What a fun and joyful podcast - with 2 of Edmonton’s best authors!! 😍 @sgwong.com @premeemohamed.com

The high temps have made the snow/ice on my residential unplowed street the consistency of kinetic sand. Got my car stuck in front of my house trying to leave. Took 4 neighbours, sand and road salt + a shovel, to get me out. Grateful for helpful neighbours and frustrated with unplowed streets. #yeg

I’m reworking my YA novel-in-progress, changing from third person close to first person POV. I accidentally left a sentence like this: “I rolled her eyes.” My teen came up with some nice additions, like: “I rolled her eyes off a cliff.” “I rolled her eyes across the table.” Chime in. #writerlife

The stakes of this election couldn't be higher. Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives want to take us backwards. #DontGetPlayed dontgetplayed.ca

I'm in the middle of spring break with my kiddo and just living my best life. Why can't we always hang out together and do what we want and not go to school and work to further the oppressive capitalist system we live in??? #momlife #springbreak #liberationforall

THE CANADA GEESE ARE BACK! I live in #yeg next to a wetlands area and every spring the geese migrate back for mating season. I love waking up to the sounds of their honking! #canadageese #natureisawesome

My fellow sister scribe, Shannon Luders-Manuel, from the Reed, Write and Create Sanctuary published her memoir, The One Who Loves You. It is heartbreaking, enlightening, and hopeful. My full thoughts on Substack: juicygreenmom.substack.com/p/new-book-a... #RWCSecondWave #TheOneWhoLovesYou

My nephew Hunter would be 8 today. It seems wildly old given that we only knew him for 5 months. The children’s book I wrote, Hunter’s Special Squawk, is FREE (ebook) on Amazon from now to Sun Mar 23 11:59pm PDT. Hard copy in-person Audreys Books in #YEG, or online audreys.ca/item/-99iwT0...

Today I had the joy of communing with my fellow #memoir writing sister scribes in the Reed, Write and Create Sanctuary, and it was such a boon to my soul. I am learning how much #communitycare is integral to #selfcare. So grateful for @ericalwilliams7.bsky.social @kashampton.bsky.social and all!
