FitChicks Weekend

November 18, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I had the great good fortune of attending a FitChicks weekend at Horseshoe Valley Resort a week ago with my 16 year old daughter. I believe good habits start young and wish that I had been better coached as a teen. I was thrilled that they extended the invitation to her as well. She and I have … [Read more...]

Making A Wish

October 28, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing  something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]

Reclaim the Night! Halloween Is For Grown-Ups, Too!

October 28, 2013 by Amanda 4 Comments

Many moons ago, before we had kids, we used to host an annual Halloween party at our home and I loved it! The costumes, the pumpkin carving, the candy. Good times. Then we (and all our friends) went and had a trillion babies and the focus shifted to taking toddlers trick-or-treating, so the … [Read more...]

All The Beauty That Lies Beneath

October 25, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike). Go out far into the ocean until you get to a reef. Put on your snorkel, mask and fins.  And courage. And get close to some … [Read more...]

On Divorce-1/11 Ain’t Bad

October 21, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I have just returned from 6 days in Cayman with 10 fabulous people. I have known all of them for 30 years. I feel really lucky to be in this group. On our last night, we were on a pier at a wonderful restaurant with exquisite food, under a truly magical full moon, laughing, toasting and crying and … [Read more...]

PMS: Pre-Menstrual (p)SYCHO

October 9, 2013 by Amanda 1 Comment

I can tell it's here when my eyes prick with tears while listening to some dumb song on the radio. Or how when my husband gets a bad case of the hiccups and instead of laughing I want to punch him in the neck. Or when my kids are fighting and in 0.3 seconds my blood begins to boil and I yell louder … [Read more...]

Talking About Dying-Part 2

October 9, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

The other day, I touched on why we are afraid to talk about dying. It is very tough. We'd all rather talk about life. But there are some important benefits on having these tough discussions. When we acknowledge death: • We have the opportunity to savour life Hope comes from the comfort … [Read more...]

Kids and Empathy: Teach Your Children Well

September 30, 2013 by Tracey 6 Comments

The idea of empathy has been on my mind a lot lately, in part because of this clip that made the rounds on social media about a week ago. While on Conan a while back, funnyman Louis C.K. discussed his views on why he doesn't want his kids to have cell phones... [youtube id="5HbYScltf1c"] The … [Read more...]

On Empathy and Touching People.

September 28, 2013 by Tracey 3 Comments

I'm handsy. C'mon, not like that. (Okay, sometimes yes...) But I mean I physically touch people often. All the time. Montreal being the kind of city that it is calls for the two-cheek kiss, and we often embrace when we meet. I find I rather like the practice, which is widely accepted, and in fact, … [Read more...]
