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?
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

Maybe you’re trying so hard to make something work or maybe it’s the complete opposite and you’re trying so hard to avoid… Read More May The Force Not Be With You
I’ve never been one for the gimmicks or consumerism of Valentine’s Day, but I have to say it’s a wonderful day for reflection (me and my reflections, right?). I challenge you to remember that Valentine’s is not about embracing those you love for just one day a year – as love should be year round!… Read More Happy Valentine’s Day
You know what is awesome? When something good or someone great shows up in the most unusual of places. When something happens completely unexpectedly and turns out to be something really great. Have you ever experienced those moments? How about that time you pulled up to the window at Tim Hortons and the car in… Read More Most Unusual Of Places
“You know what a double clap is? Every double clap is like a new beginning,” he said. “So, like every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings?” I questioned. “Not at all,” he smiled. “Because I made up the double clap.” I laughed, “Fair enough.” Then I accepted his logic. As you know… Read More The Double Clap
As I’ve been writing for weeks now, I did not make a new year’s resolution. Now, I am perplexed as I am taking a class on self-regulated learning (towards the master’s degree) and our next task is to establish a goal which we will be reporting on the progress of. Those of you who follow… Read More Hello Goals
