I have had the opportunity to walk through the doors of Loyalist College on many occasions. As a child, I entered the college as the daughter of two alumni; my Dad was also instructing at the college part-time. After graduating from Queen’s, I decided to attend the post-grad public relations program. While I didn’t think… Read More Walking Through The Door
This week I was thinking about the concept of commitment. Whether it is a commitment to a job or a relationship, a fitness routine or a personal goal, the amount of effort and time we dedicate to it is important. Think of that time you have joined a gym with a half-assed intention; or attempted… Read More Let’s “Go All In”
The first time I was told I was like a Newfie woman, I was not sure how I felt about it. I had heard the term “Newfie” used in a derogatory way so many times, that it didn’t sound like much of a compliment. I was assured by my East Coast friend that it was indeed… Read More The Islander
“If all your friends jumped from a bridge, would you?” I used to think this was a dumb question. If all my friends jumped from a bridge, I most definitely would not. However, I apparently thought it was intelligent to jump from a window onto gym mats. As much as I never thought I’d be… Read More Would You Jump?
I have spent a lot of time in hockey arenas over the years. From marketing in the OHL to road trips with friends, and more recently playing hockey, I have developed a love of arenas. As strange as it may sound, there’s something so calming about good music blasting from the speakers and the sound… Read More Hockey & My Marketing Mind

However, I wanted to keep this blog post short and leave you with my one and only (and favourite) prayer… The Serenity Prayer Each and every day, this prayer starts my day on the side of my… Read More Serenity, Courage & Wisdom
Predictably unpredictable – I feel like this is one of the best ways to describe life. You hear about the fact that the only thing that is consistent in life is change. So why not embrace a little unpredictability? A predictable and cyclical life has never been the life for me. Where’s the fun in always doing… Read More Predictably Unpredictable
On the weekend, I had the most incredible experience taking my reiki level one with Sarah Knight in Kingston, Ontario. It was a weekend of peace, love, meditation, closing chapters, and opening new doors. No words can fully explain how great it truly was. As we got ready to depart on Sunday, Sarah informed us that we… Read More No Alcohol? No Problem
“Oh right, I forgot,” he sneered at me. “It happened two minutes ago, so to you, it’s over. It’s in the past.” I had a partner who regularly scolded me for the fact I like to settle into the moment, live in the present and not look at the past or the future too much.… Read More That’s The Past
Quite a few years ago now I had the incredible opportunity to sing at provincials for musical theatre. I had placed gold in a few classes at the Quinte Rotary Music Festival, and was selected to move on to a competition in Ottawa. When I arrived at the competition, I was even more excited to… Read More It’s All In The Eyes
