30 Days of Gratitude Journalling
It has been a while since I’ve written. Many things have happened since January (and they just keep coming) that have left me physically and mentally empty. There are days when I forget to eat and if breathing wasn’t an automatic function, I’m not sure I’d remember to do that! I haven’t felt creative and…

Changes: why my voices have been quiet
In January, everything changed. Sure, we rolled over to the halfway through the decade, and the new year, but more than that, my family experienced a major life event. Not a birth, not a death, but a ‘major mental health crisis’. Respecting the privacy of my family, I will not really say much more than…

50×50: Number 17 – Read 12 books (book 1)
On my list is a goal of reading twelve books. It isn’t a very lofty goals, but I’d like to read twelve good, well regarded or highly recommended books. I currently have sixteen books on my list. I like to have options. One of the books, I’ve been reading for while, while it’s actually come…

50×50: Welcome to 2025
Welcome to 2025! There are 27 weeks until my birthday. Twenty-seven weeks to finish my list, which is do-able. Maybe… I should get my butt in gear and start writing more than I am, and perhaps, doing the things on the list! I’ve let my writer’s block consume me and while I am always advising…

Dear Gramma…
I miss you. Death is unfair and while I know you lived a long life, in my mind, it wasn’t long enough. The world had you for eighty years, I only had you for nineteen. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to not have you in my world. I wasn’t ready. But…

50×50: Traditions
Family traditions. Many have them, many don’t. This isn’t technically a 50×50 countdown item, but being able to spend time with my sister and Mom is always a good time. My niece joined us too and when the four of us get together, hilarity ensues. While our family doesn’t have many, they have a few…

50×50: Number 35 – See Canada’s team play!
Baseball… Doesn’t seem like a very Canadian sport. In a country where it’s known to be winter six months of the year, cold another two, with the potential of snow two more, it seems odd that a country could love baseball as much as we do! Add to that we actually only have one team…

50×50: Number 6 – See Caribou in the Wild (sort of)
Since forever, I have wanted to see caribou in the wild. The problem is caribou are a threatened species and are very hard to find. However, year after year, I have tried to seek out the woodland caribou herd that resides in Jasper National Park. Now, there are four herds that live in the park,…

50×50: Number 24 – Get a tattoo
At the beginning of July, I got a tattoo. I decided to get the tattoo to commemorate my 50th birthday. It is on my left forearm. Loud, proud, and hard to miss. It often startles me. I can honestly say I loved it more on paper than I do on my body. It is pretty,…

50×50: Number 15 – Visit a new province
Canada is a big place. 9.9 million square kilometres (3.8 million square miles)! It is made up of ten provinces and three territories. The newest territory, Nunavut, coming to be in 1999! Sadly, I have only visited a few of these areas. Alberta, where I live, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Ontario. Until 2023… When I…
