  • 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. 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 you […]

  • 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 […]

  • Facing My Fear at 50, Again

    All week I watched the parasail float over the water above me as I ran or walked the beach. I could do that, I say to myself, from the safety of the peaceful beach. But do I want to? “Nance, you should do that. I know you are afraid.” I am, as many of you […]

  • On Divorce-1/11 Ain’t Bad

    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 […]

  • Why I Love Country Markets

    You can come as you are in your favourite shorts Except if you are my mom and think low heel Farragamo’s are country casual. Parking is so darn easy you think there is something wrong with the event so no one came. You meet the people who make the stuff they are selling. Cheese experts, […]

  • Talking About Dying-Part 2

    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 of knowing that […]

  • Why We Are Afraid Of Talking About Dying

    The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. – George Bernard Shaw I went to an End Of Life Choices seminar with my mom last week. I want to share some of what was presented. The ideas might be simple but because the topic is so heady, we can […]

  • A Weekend In Pictures

  • 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 […]

  • All Ready For Back To School – Not!

    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 […]
