It seems fitting that it’s International Women’s Day and my last post was on this day two years ago. SO much has happened and changed and I feel like my event planning business died. Don’t feel bad, it was quick and relatively painless. With an excess of quiet time these past couple of years, I’veContinue reading “Shhhh…my business is just sleeping.”

It’s International Women’s Day and I’m a woman so I guess it’s a day for me. But to be honest I don’t even know what’s being celebrated or how or what it #EachForEqual even means! I am surrounded by amazing examples of the strongest women on Earth. Cancer survivors, super moms, entrepreneurs achieving great successContinue reading “It’s Our Day Again!”

Running is how I strengthen the mind-body connection. My body feels good when my mind feels good and my mind feels strong when my body is strong. I feel like I am the captain of my ship: I direct my course and decide my distance and pace. Pushing my body to its physical limits isContinue reading “I’ve lost control…”

Bell Let’s Talk day is coming up January 29th so I’m extra mindful of the importance of engaging in conversations on mental illness and mental health awareness. The deeper I dive into this world, the more I see stigma’s far reaching effects. I hear first responders poking fun at one of their own. I knowContinue reading “It’s Your Call”

This goal digger has decided to kick off 2020 by not making any resolutions. As a lifelong overachiever this feels awkward and strange but I’m ready for a new challenge. No resolutions, just a word. You read that correctly: one word. No fad diets, no cleanses, no subscription workout plans…just one word and one focus.Continue reading “Why I’m Ditching The Resolutions This Year”

That peace I found during my car accident is still there in some respects (I’m not freaking out about the ambulance bill), but it slowly dissolved into mud and murk. And that’s why I’ve been avoiding writing lately: I felt too dirty to share with you. The dirty truth about self care is that it isn’tContinue reading “The Dirty Truth About Self Care”

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident yesterday morning after dropping my kids off at school. I was alone in the car when it happened, thankfully, but I’m writing about it because it was an experience I’m having difficulty describing. It’s true what they say about things moving in slow motion when you’re inContinue reading “The Impact of Silence”

I ran 21.1 kilometres today and it felt very different than any other half marathon I’ve done. It was slower than my other races yet it went by so quickly. I didn’t stop to pee and I cruised up the hills. I feel like I could go back out there and keep moving. You allContinue reading

It’s World Mental Health Awareness Day and I know there are so many millions like me who are all too aware. We are so constantly aware that it’s impossible to ignore. It’s something we live with 24/7, 365. We don’t need a day, but the rest of you do. You need a day to acknowledgeContinue reading “Today is not for us. It’s for you.”

  I love summer. Shorts and sunscreen and more freckles than I can count and I miss it. Autumn arrived a week ago and while I’m still not emotionally ready for long pants and hoodies, I’m ready for change. The changing leaves are especially beautiful here in Nova Scotia (if you haven’t visited our partContinue reading “Bear with me as things change”
