Save a Homeless Child

On May 26th, 2017, I will be participating in a new event, the first ever all women Sleep Out, to raise awareness and much needed funds for the youth that depend on Covenant House Toronto. 

As a child who ran away from an abusive home at the age of 13, I lived on park benches and in abandoned building for more than half of the 3 plus years I was on my own. Raising funds for Covenant House holds a s Read more of this blog post »

“Keep your heart wide open and you’ll be received with open hearts — not by everyone, but to be received by one open heart is more than worth the journey.”
Marnie Grundman, Missing A True Story Of A Childhood Lost

“A great relationship is being with the one who compliments your madness instead of conflicting with it.”
Marnie Grundman

“Your not a damaged human being because someone did damaging things to you.”
Marnie Grundman

“One thing I do know about intimacy is that there are certain natural laws which govern the sexual experience of two people, and that these laws cannot be budged any more than gravity can be negotiated with. To feel physically comfortable with someone else's body is not a decision you can make. It has very little to do with how two people think or act or talk or even look. The mysterious magnet is either there, buried somewhere deep behind the sternum, or it is not. When it isn't there (as I have learned in the past, with heartbreaking clarity) you can no more force it to exist than a surgeon can force a patient's body to accept a kidney from the wrong donor. My friend Annie says it all comes down to one simple question: "Do you want your belly pressed against this person's belly forever --or not?”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Keep your heart wide open and you’ll be received with open hearts — not by everyone, but to be received by one open heart is more than worth the journey.”
Marnie Grundman, Missing A True Story Of A Childhood Lost

“Let go of what cannot be changed and let love in.”
Marnie Grundman, Missing A True Story Of A Childhood Lost

“A great relationship is being with the one who compliments your madness instead of conflicting with it.”
