I've always loved spending time in the garden. My mom kept a gorgeous garden at the house I grew up in, and over the years I have had the pleasure of attending lots of garden talks with her. I was so excited when the Husband and I bought our house - I couldn't wait to... Continue Reading →
I got the official word late on Wednesday night after spending a good chunk of the day down at Toronto Western. I can't begin to tell you the flood of emotion that washed over me when I saw the email come through from my neurosurgeon that started with the words "Good news". As there has... Continue Reading →
If someone asked you how you nourish yourself, how would you answer the question? Would your thoughts automatically turn to the food you eat?

Those mornings, standing in sand, with the surf lapping out our toes, watching the sun rise with the kids - those were magical moments for me. I have never felt happier, lighter, or more filled with joy. And I am... Continue Reading →
As part of the on-going One Little Word project I've been undertaking this year, we were supposed to create a "vision board" during the month of March. At first, I got really excited. I was just given an excuse to buy a stack of magazines. And I did just that - I think I probably bought about... Continue Reading →
I thought I was done with books of the self-help genre for a while after finding myself so engrossed in several good novels over my vacation. But late last week, I was pulled back in after a friend generously gave me a copy of a book they were loving. The book is called "Conversations with God" and... Continue Reading →
