Last year, I wrote this post in honour of International Women’s Day to remind women everywhere that we need to give ourselves permission… I actually re-read this post from time to time to remind myself that “It’s O.K.”. I have even tweeted it out during the year as a little reminder. Well, in honour of [...]

As I took my shower Friday Morning (Feb 1st) I reflected about the small & large achievements of a very busy month: Try a Zumba Class- Check! Be a part of something larger than myself to benefit someone smaller than myself – Check! REALLY Celebrate a milestone as opposed to just taking note of it [...]

So here we are. The kids will be home in less than 2 hours and Winter Break will begin. Reality has it that I will have to do some work while they are home, but I have promised that I will try to keep it to the very minimum. Our family needs together-time, cocooning time [...]

Ever since I was a child, I have found the snow so soothing. As I lay to make snow angels, My arms and legs did all the smoothing.  I look forward to the winter, When I’ll sit by the window, Where I’ll chat with my beloved, And we’ll marvel at the snow.  Today the snow [...]

Some are ‘original’ and others are well-known quotes or sayings, but all resonated with the women in the room, and I hope that they resonate with you as well. [...]

I am BREATHLESS. I am jumping from coordinating upcoming workshops, to making sure ads are getting in on time, to doing my part in purchasing supplies for my daughter’s science fair, to getting my new content live…and checking messages that are over a week old but I just haven’t gotten to.  The list goes on… [...]
