“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 would never call myself a religious person. Instead, I would say I am more of a spiritual person. 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
“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
How many times have you thought, “if that was me I would…”? How many times have you judged someone else for something that they did or did not do?

Yup – just throwing in a Daya joke there too. Hmm. Okay. I have to admit this motto… Read More To Those Who Wait
A few weeks ago I backed out of week five of my “Silver Living Exes Series.” Correction, I wussed out of writing week five. Most of the other situations I talked about in previous weeks, I’m removed from now. However, week five is different because I’m not completely removed… and it’s different. How? Let me… Read More My Week Five
It’s funny how things happen in our lives at the exact time we need them to happen, even if it takes us years to realize it. Just over four years ago, I was standing in the middle of my great Uncle’s cottage and I noticed a small piece of metal on an old fireplace. Imprinted… Read More Change Is a Good Thing
“I’m tall, you’re tall, I thought we should meet.” This is literally the first introduction I had to the man who would end up playing quite the role in my university experience. We were the saga that never seemed to end. From first year to the end of fourth year, it was a roller coaster… Read More A Tale of the Blue Scarf
Time for some “fun” stories; the challenging stuff. Or possibly, the “tough” guys for the next few weeks. Last night, being Wednesday, I had this post half written.
