It’s About TRUST.
This is the most incredible teaching I have ever experienced on the topic of trust by one of my very favourite mentors, Brené Brown. Please, please carve out the 13 minutes to watch. The illustrations mixed with Brené’s words and soothing voice work beautifully together. What I’ve learned will help me to understand my own…
I Love You! (FREE Gift For Valentine’s Day)
On Thursday, people in many parts of the world will celebrate Valentine’s Day. I love it! Yes, the holiday can be overly commercialized, BUT we don’t have to get sucked into the marketing of it. We can still enjoy the day, allowing it to serve as a reminder to show the people we love, that…
I See ME. In YOU.(VIDEO)
This video completely blew me away when I saw it. And I wanted to share it with you. I am constantly seeking ways to understand human behaviour and change my approach to living if I find a better way. Inside this video lies a better way. We can forget that we are all–every last one…
Lessons From My Mother (List of Faves)!
Here in North America, we celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday. I called my mom, and we talked about Mother’s Days gone by and how we’d all get dressed up for church and how our Dad would make reservations at fancy brunch places and how the whole day would be focused around her. My father adored…
We Don’t Have That Kind Of Time.
Today, May 8th, 2018, marks my father’s 76th birthday. On earth, he got to celebrate 70 of those very special days and now that he’s been gone almost 6 years, May 8th has become even more special to me. Because it serves as a reminder that we don’t have time to waste living a half-life.…
BIG Love
I just finished reading Big Love by Scott Stabile. It was a joy to read, and I gobbled it up during a recent visit to the spa with Roger for his birthday. It was a truly decadent way to spend the day…soaking up the warm sun and enjoying the delicious words that Scott served up.…
Celebrating!
This past Saturday, Canadians everywhere celebrated our country’s 150th year since Confederation. I live in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, and although I knew the festivities would be second to none in my amazing home city, Roger and I decided to fly west and join my mother and her partner as they put on a lovely…
My Father’s Legacy
This past weekend many of us celebrated Father’s Day. For over 20 years, my family has enjoyed a game of golf and a reunion at my aunt’s cottage, just outside my Dad’s hometown of Waterloo, Ontario. We settled on Father’s Day weekend a few years in, and the date has stuck. I am so glad…
Mother’s Day…And Expectations. And Death. And love.
Last year, I wrote a post about Mother’s Day that I would like to share again, not because I don’t feel like writing but because it meant a lot to me then and after re-reading it, it means a lot to me now, too. It may mean something to you, as well…about making time, and death,…
I Didn’t Have Time
This past weekend, families everywhere celebrated Mother’s Day. As you probably know, I am not a mother. My own mom lives out West, and Roger’s mom lives down East, so celebrations this year consisted of some phone calls. Sunday was not only Mother’s Day, it was also what would have been my father’s 74th birthday.…
