 Confession time. I have yet to watch the Lord Of The Rings movies. *gasp* Nor have I watched Titanic, but that is a whole different story for another day. Simply put, I like to read the book before I watch the movie. Honors Sophomore English required us to read The Hobbit which, at the age of […]

How much is enough? I care a lot about fitness and being healthy, probably more than the average bear. My life is structured to include wellness, fitness, and healthy eating choices as much as possible. This is a big change from a few years ago. For a season in my life, it was all consuming […]

You Don’t Get To Pick Your Problems, But You Do Get To Pick Your Attitude

Over the years, I have learned the discipline of gratitude and choosing joy. I always laugh at people when they are shocked to hear I have problems.  Life is full of problems.

Everywhere You Go…There You Are

Yesterday I woke up at 3:42 am and did not go back to sleep. 500 women were coming to a breakfast and I was the keynote speaker. Once I realized the day had come, I just got up and went about my planned morning….just a few hours earlier than planned. I was prepared, ready and nervous. Nervous […]

Your life is meant to be a masterpiece. You are captivating and most alive when you are who you are, not when you’re trying desperately to be someone else.

Gold! Oh Canada, eh?

February 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Canada. I have lived up here in what I like to call the ‘subarctic‘ for almost 16 years. We love our hockey and our hockey players, that much is clear. My dad is Canadian and we grew up listening to Don Cherry yell at Ron MacLean in between periods. Don made me have more than a […]

Know Where You’re Going And Then Keep Going!

December 28, 2013 by 2 Comments

Christmastime in the subarctic. Yesterday morning we packed up our car and started the drive to my in-laws. We worked through Christmas Eve and spent Christmas and Boxing Day with family in Edmonton, then onto my husband’s family house in Saskatchewan to spend time together through New Year’s. We joke about the drive because they […]
