Me: Dad, why don't you follow my Facebook page? Dad: I don't know. I thought I did. Me: Maybe you blocked me like you did on Twitter. Dad: I had to block you on Twitter. You twitted so much. Me: I twitted ?? 😂 Dad: Yes, you twitted like every 2 mins. #funny #mademelaugh

I'm freaking out a bit because I got an offer for a job to work with Indigenous youth & seniors, and it's an amazing opportunity and I am nervous and emotional, and sort of really scared...but I took the job and I start next week! I know it's a good decision, but my nerves!

I take the same grocery bags shopping every Sunday. I average about $200 a week on groceries. I am not an impulse buyer and purchase necessities. Past two weeks my bill was $300. Same shopping bags full. This sucks. That's all. Thanks for listening. #Thanks2020

I am proud to be indigenous... (A thread)... I am Metis. I was born Amanda Cardinal. Our family did not live on a reserve. They lived on the Wolf Lake Metis settlement. I wish I knew more. I truly wish I could go back in time and write down everything my Kokom...

I'm struggling tonight. This Pandemic is taking a toll on my mental health. I worry so much for my kids. We talked tonight. Wanted them to know they're loved & never alone. If they're struggling, that I am here for them. My heart hurts. Our world is a heavy place right now.

Let's normalize not insinuating that someone with kids and an ex spouse have "baggage". This statement honestly drives me crazy. If you are alive, there is "baggage". Fight me.

Found $5 on my driveway yesterday. Checked the mail today, and got a refund cheque for $10 for overpaying something. And now I just got an email that I was overcharged on a course I'm taking and they're sending a refund cheque of $140. Small maybe, but it all counts right?

When I was 15 I didn't always have menstrual products. My parents struggled so I'd feel bad asking for them. I'd break into the machines at school that charged 25¢ for 1 maxi pad. I would take as many as I could before I got caught. No woman should have to worry about that....
