I couldn't do a pose in yoga yesterday . . . "It hurts the seam in my skull", I told my teacher. "Right," she said, "I'd forgotten about that". And we both laughed. It's almost inconceivable to me that four years have gone by since I had a craniotomy to remove my brain tumour. Four... Continue Reading →
A confluence of events over the past few months has lead to the Husband and I reassessing our insurance needs lately; policies came up for renewal, the Husband turned 40, we realized our life is a bit different than it was 10 years ago when we first took out insurance policies . . .

Ok. I mentioned last week that I want to feel light, happy and full of joy. And according to Danielle Laporte, the way to do this is to focus on doing those things that make me feel that way, and I will end up feeling that way. So, instead of making mental and physical to-do lists in... Continue Reading →
I mentioned in an earlier post that my reading list lately has been light on the fiction and heavy on the "self-help" (I did read This is Happy by Camilla Gibb . . . while I couldn't put it down, it was decidedly NOT a happy book). The books I have been LOVING include The Gifts of Imperfection, The... Continue Reading →

The husband and I were so prepared for the week ahead when we fell into bed last night, it was almost comical. I'm talking prepared to the point where not only were all the meal plans, groceries, backpacks prepared . . . I may or may not have even had a spreadsheet outlining our to-dos... Continue Reading →
I'm starting to really like this whole tidying up thing. I've unearthed a lot, but more importantly, I've found space. In particular, I've found space on my desk. I have a particular fondness for a specific Ikea desk. It's basically a slab of melamine with four legs that get screwed in. I particularly LOVE the... Continue Reading →
At the end of each of my Wednesday Crossfit classes, the coach dims the lights in the gym, puts on a 4 minute long song, and tells us all to lie down, stretch, and enjoy our 4 minute long "peace point". When the four minutes are up, class is officially over, the gym lights snap... Continue Reading →
Uh huh. My theme song of the day courtesy of the Indigo Girls. Look . . . I heard them this summer on the On Being podcast, I thought it was an awesome interview, it brought back a lot of happy summer camp memories (all girls' camp in the early 90's = many happy memories that include...

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kelly Anne Graham this weekend at the Crossfit competition. She is an absolutely amazing woman who has put together an absolutely amazing book. She, herself, was a Masters Crossfit Games athlete who suffered a back injury that ended her career as an elite athlete, and her ability to... Continue Reading →
