My HEALTH Secret.
As you probably know by now, I got sober when I was 29. A lot has happened in the time between then and now. I hid my addiction by telling people I was “into health” and yet the beauty of that decision meant that I actually became a much healthier version of myself. I’ve talked…
I Can’t Believe I Am Telling You This.
Here we go again… I have been holding on to this post for a long time; every week saying I will share it and then chickening out. Because, once again, it means sharing with you another incredibly embarrassing truth, but one that has set me free and I hope will do the same for anyone suffering…
My Dirty Little Secret
I get a lot of compliments on my skin. I am asked how I achieve my healthy glow and I am told I don’t “look my age”. I get asked what I do and what I use, and so I will share my regimen with you today. But I have a secret. A nasty habit…
I Have A Confession…
This past weekend, Canadians everywhere celebrated Thanksgiving. It is a time for people to remember all that we have to be grateful for and to pause in order to give thanks. It has always been a special holiday for me. First, it is celebrated in October, which is my birthday month, and second, I adore the…

He asked, “What will I be in heaven?” The priest answered, “John, you will be in heaven exactly what you were here on earth. You will be an enthusiast.” This past…
Rock Bottom-Sharing My Most Shameful Secret With You
I have hidden this from everyone but my closest friends and family for 14 years. Today, I share it with you. Once again, I am terrified to hit “post”. I am so deeply ashamed of my behaviour that I can hardly believe you will know about it in a few minutes. But it is time.…
My MOST Embarrassing Moment
As I continue my mission of sharing myself with you, today I am divulging something I have kept from even my closest friends. I have held onto it for decades…almost 28 years, to be exact. I am terrified to share it. Thinking about it still makes me sweat; still gets me so uncomfortable that I have to shake…
The ONE Secret That Changed Everything
If you saw this post, then you KNOW how much I love the beautiful East coast province of Prince Edward Island, and I am so excited to tell you how it has happened that I am heading back there…TOMORROW!!! But first, some context. As I have mentioned several times before, when I was a drinker,…
The Truth Is…I Lied.
With the dawn of a new year, people are often looking to make a change. Over the last few months, I have received several messages from people asking me how I quit drinking and how I continue to stay sober. It’s a tough question for me to answer honestly. To be honest, I don’t think…
Our Secrets Keep Us Sick
Inspirational Speaker and Trainer Brendon Burchard believes that at the end of our lives, we will ask ourselves three questions: “Did I live?” “Did I love?” and “Did I matter?” Oprah talks about the need to be seen…really seen. As in “do you see me?” Do you hear me?” “Does what I am saying matter…
