Making A Wish
Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing.

All The Beauty That Lies Beneath
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 […]

Life’s Best Accessory
The best accessory in life is not shoes, a fabulous haircut, that perfect Coach bag or $250 jeans. The very best accessory in life is happiness. You want to draw people to you? Be happy. Be you. When we work on this, everything else follows. Being my children’s mom taught me this. It was my […]

I made a small list when I went away just before school started for my daughter to accomplish before first day back. Shine your shoes. Organize your binders. Clean out your knapsack (she had used it at camp this summer). Sassy had 4 days to accomplish these tasks. Sassy did none of them. First morning […]
