We all thought 2016 was a bad year. We were a little delusional that 2017 would be better. As this year winds down I believe it’s time for a helpful reboot. Just thinking positive thoughts and counting blessings hasn’t been enough. With this in mind, I am proclaiming 2018 will be the “Year of the […]
Why is change so difficult? Even if it’s something we want it can throw your life into chaos. If it’s something we don’t want, well then there’s a mountain of negative frenzy to plow through. I don’t like change. Negative or positive. But I also know that deciding not to change may be the worst […]
Again, this weekend will be for Dad. My blog from last year, and I do believe I will be re-posting this every year! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was never any doubt I would be running the Salvation Army Santa Shuffle again this year. I also knew it would be the topic of my blog this week. As […]
This past week I read a Facebook post by someone I used to consider a dear friend. We don’t see each other anymore. He’s moved on. I find that often happens when a friend starts to date someone or even more dramatically, when they move in or get married to the love of their life. […]
Eight coffee dates, too many hours of texting, emails galore, three con artists, two lovely dinners… and with that, my time on Match.com has come to an end. The process has been priceless. And it’s not because I found the love of my life, or even someone close. Match.com taught me a valuable lesson that […]
My friend had a broken heart and decided to get back out there to hasten the mending process. He’d heard my tales from people I know that have found love on Match.com. I was thrilled he was going to take the leap and sign up. I didn’t foresee he would ask me to join him. […]
I love to walk. And as I write this blog I realize I probably got it from my Dad. He walked. Anyone that has the habit of going for long walks knows it’s more than just moving your feet. It’s time to think, and for me, the space to contemplate almost anything. My greatest walk […]
I’ve always volunteered. It’s become part of my life. It’s also an easy way to meet interesting people and do different things. Big jobs or little projects, it doesn’t matter. Early on I was manning phones at the Variety Club Telethon. Then I did a stint at the Vancouver Triathlon. For a couple of years […]
There were many stories crowding the headlines this week. Bowls of Skittles, The Megga Breakup, Dancing with the Rioters, Platitudes at the UN, Hillary’s Dead Again and the one that annoyed me the most, Gord Downie is back for another concert. When will we start to notice the things that really matter? When will we […]
There are only two things your body needs on a daily basis. Everything else we can do without for days and even weeks. But you must have water and sleep. No that’s wrong. You must have sleep and some sort of liquid. You won’t last long without them. You will die. And even if you […]
