Someone you helped (this past week)
I don’t know if we often think about helping other’s out very often… Like going out of our way to help someone. When was the last time you saw a car stranded on the side of the road and stopped to see if they needed help? For me, that was on Sunday. I had been…

October Journal Challenge: Things that made you feel energized today!
It is noon as I start writing this – and out of the gate, I had a webinar at 9am MDT this morning that got me excited! It was on the merit evaluation criteria of NSERC Alliance grant applications. Which, to many, many sound dry and boring, but given my extensive work on the sustainability…

Day 7: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven places
What a sweet one… Eleven places – and not necessarily fancy places we’ve travelled. Special places to us. This warmed my heart and filled my mind. Unsure what I am talking about? You can catch the intro post here, but in short… The wellness studio I go to is running a free workshop this week,…

Day 2: Safe & Happy
A place that makes you feel safe and happy… The obvious answer would be my home, but that would be too easy. So where else? My Mom’s and sister’s are both places that I feel safe and happy. However, the place that makes me feel safe and happy is not a place where I would…

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 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…

Writing break & Jasper National Park fire
Chris warned me that writing the memories would be exhausting. Collecting, curating, and sharing fifty memories, he said, would be tiring. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. While I didn’t exactly doubt him, I didn’t quite realize just how correct he would be. Sharing such a large piece of myself with the world, while something I wanted…

Memory #10: Travels with
I don’t know how long I have desired to travel abroad, or if I have. However, as I started planning my fifty things to do before I turned fifty, I decided I wanted to leave the North American continent. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go, I just knew I wanted to go somewhere,…

Memory #12: Texas!
Back in February of 2000, my husband and I had the opportunity to travel to San Antonio, Texas. He was there for a conference, and I got to go along for the ride. At that point in my life, the furthest I had travelled was Toronto and Spokane, Washington – but we’d hit Spokane on…
