Halifax is the best cure for my landlocked blues. Like many, I've moved west for work and made a good life. In a few weeks, though, I'll be back for a short visit. Point Pleasant Park, the Citadel, Spring Garden and the market are where I'll be first. The salt -inged air, friendly faces and fun is what I'll try to soak up most in My Nova Scotia Home.

Every week, every single week, for the past four months (and counting!) you take time from what I can only assume is an incredibly busy farm life to come into the city. You hand-deliver not only your organic produce, but also your eggs, fruit and pasture-raised meats to my community. Everything is grown with such love—I swear I can taste it in every bite. My family and I wait for our box of goodies to roll in from Port Williams to Bedford. Opening our share of vegetables every week is beyond exciting. Thank you for taking such good care of the land you grow on, the soil you nurture and the families you feed.

A few weeks ago I was dancing and singing at The Seahorse and I keep going back to a moment of bliss where you leaned into me and we belted out a song together. It felt nice to be noticed by you. I needed it. Thanks for the flirty green garland.

I miss you. I never thought my daughter wouldn't know her auntie, one of my favourite people. Every time I listen to Raffi or Fred Penner or watch some silly kids' show on television, you are still (and will probably always be) the person I think about. I think about you a lot outside of children's programming, too. I wish I knew how to fix this. Happy birthday, my beautiful friend.

You don't need to keep leaving me treats and greeting cards in my doorway. I'm grateful to simply be alongside you.

It took me a while to get around to this, but I want to say thank you. Thank you to all the kind people who stopped when my car broke down on the corner of Woodlawn Road and Mount Edward Road in Dartmouth a few weeks ago. Although I had it under control and was just waiting for a tow truck, at least two strangers pulled over to make sure I was OK. I appreciate it. It just shows that humanity does still exist, between all the stares and rude looks of passer-bys. Thank you and I hope your days all go well.

There is something deeply powerful and profound about feeling seen, heard and valued by another. Our understanding regarding the importance of physical touch and social connection is greater than ever—and so is the need.

You were exactly what I needed. We met through a dating app. Hung out for an hour, had sex and that was that. You were lovely. Thank you.

Really good ice cream! Visible soil! Cool events! The Coast! Halifax, I missed you so much. No matter how many new buildings have popped up, how many new craters have appeared in the ground, and how many people have up and left for Toronto, you are still the place for me. I am so happy to be home again, and not just because it means leaving a particularly dull neighbouring province.

I hope to one day create a soup that you will love more then your 3am pizza slices. Until then buckle up! We are in for a soupy ride.
