WHERE’S THE FOCUS? Everyday I receive emails from people wanting to sell me their programs. The come-on is always the same––A three-to-five-day event in which I’ll learn amazing things I hadn’t thought I needed. The first part is free, but I’ll be able to upgrade to a $47.00 VIP program which gives me access to […]
FROM THEN TO ZEN
When I went to check the weather on my phone today, what came up was a list of the week’s weather, which got me thinking about how much we live in the future. For example: When the pandemic is over, we’ll be able to travel. When I get my vaccine, I’ll be fine. When I […]
Women! Let’s Celebrate Ourselves.
I remember being in my thirties and moving to a small house in midtown Toronto with my husband and young daughters and seeing an elderly woman walk down her icy path in winter, her thin ankles gloved in short boots, her black fur coat flapping against her knees and her face wearing the journey […]

SPRING!
SPRING! Spring is the season of hope. Lime green grass, chartreuse tree buds, and flowers bursting out with fresh and glistening petals. Brilliant sunlight.
