I am a prairie girl at heart: I walked backwards to school so the bone-chilling winter winds wouldn't freeze my face; I had indoor recesses when the temperature dropped to an inhumane low; I hated winter and viewed it a season to be endured rather than enjoyed. Then I scored a BC boy … [Read more...]
The Non Birthday Birthday Post
Today is my sister's birthday. It's one of those milestone ones that make the person forget they're actually only just a day older than they were yesterday. When my sister Sherrill turned 50 last year, I made her a video. Suzanne emailed me and said 'it's incredible but do something like that for … [Read more...]

I needed to walk five minutes to my bus stop and wait a potential ten … [Read more...]
Mike From Canmore
I just got back from a glorious mini-holiday to the heart of the Rocky Mountains with one of my dearest girl friends of all time.

There are still a lot of news stories about new year's resolutions. One of my favourite articles of all was in the Globe and Mail a few weeks ago.
