It's just past 11 o'clock in the morning and I've made my way to Cafe Diplomatico or "The Dip" we've often referred to. It's a main-stay along College Street where everyone from suits to moms with strollers and old timers like to hang out. It's one of those joints where you can just be yourself. … [Read more...]
How would you describe yourself?
This is an interesting thought. Let's see....I how would describe myself... I am short. My nose is flat and wide, kinda like Winston Churchill. My lips are big. I have no eye lashes. Well not much anyway. My eyes are dark, almond shape and small. If I'm not smiling I look mad. Actually I … [Read more...]
Step 1. Naturally.
I've been learning more and more about the number of chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. We are already in tuned with what we put IN our bodies and making choices that best suit our needs.

The power of silence.
Can you stay silent for 24 hours? Do you think you can try? Last year, my sons did this at school.

It was pretty moving on both counts … [Read more...]

ReelWorld Film Festival: A Decent Arrangement
What comes to mind when you think of arranged marriages? I remember having a chat with a friend about the customs that surround this sort of "courtship". I've always been fascinated with the idea and although so many people liken it to more of a business transaction, I'm learning that there have … [Read more...]
All Aboard! TSO playing music for Kids!
There's so much to see and do in the big city and as a child growing up in Toronto, I was lucky to have been exposed to many great arts & culture events.

Where do you start?
It's been 13 years since we've moved into our house. Things are starting to look "well loved" and a tad dated. I'm eyeing the kitchen is the next big project. Jen Maier and I were discussing home renovations recently. I know she's been scoping out Pinterest and getting ideas for a while but we both … [Read more...]
