Wings of a Lioness: The Geology of Inherited Pride
People often ask me where I get the strength to pack my entire life into two suitcases and head into the unknown. Where do I get that step that never falters, neither in the cold Canadian North nor under the elegant skies of France? The answer doesn't lie in geographic maps, but in an old photo album, my mother's oversized ring, and that blue flight attendant's cap that is worth more to me than any crown. My courage is not my own doing – it is the dowry left to me by my mother, a woman who conquered heights with airplanes, and the earth beneath her feet with her unwavering character.

The Family Portrait
I have a thing against confident men. Don’t get me wrong—I do not hate them. I am just amazed by their sheer arrogance. To look life in the face and turn it to stone, Medusa-like. To smile at a camera and not be fazed by the lights flashing millisecond by millisecond. To wear jewelry and not fear that it will slip from sweat on their wrists, their necks, or their fingers.
