Welcome to my 51st Year!
Today, I turn (turned) 51. It is completely surreal, let me tell you. I remember 18. Heck, I remember turning 10. I remember many stops between 10 and now. For example, 30, we had moved into the house and I was alone. While there were family activities planned around the weekend, the actual day, I…

Day 29: The future’s so bright!
Things that seem bright about your future! In 1986, a band called Timbuk 3 released a song called The Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. As far as I know, it was the their only hit. But what a hit it was, it is one of those phrases that has been adopted in to…

Day 27: Present love!
Things you love about the present. I love that I am working to take care of myself. Whether that is through taking classes on self-betterment, finding time to connect with people important to me, taking Lily for a walk, or eating a delicious meal. Finding and figuring out what is important to me is truly…

Day 26: Best Decision
The best decision you’ve ever made. I thought about this one most of the day and still haven’t really come up with a sold answer. Having my son. Changing jobs. Choosing life. All excellent decisions! Finally, I decided, I’ve yet to make the best decision of my life! That means there is still more to…

Day 25: Birthday!
Your favourite birthday or celebration. I like birthdays. I like throwing birthday parties. Specifically, children’s birthday parties. When my son was small, starting with his first birthday, I started planning and throwing fairly elaborate parties. Handmade invitations, decorations, cakes. His first was Pocoyo. Second – Mega Blocks. Third – dinosaurs. Fourth – race cars. Fifth…

Day 22: Life changing decisions
A decision that changed your life in a positive way. While this is still a ‘work in progress’, a few years ago, I realized I was waiting for life to start. A weird realization for a 40something to realized, I know. It is kind of hard to explain. I was living life, going through the…

Day 20: Life experience
A unique positive life experience you’ve had. This may seem a little weird at first, but stick with me… I’ve mentioned before I was married when I just weeks before I turned 23, divorced at 24. I mentioned my (ex) mother-in-law was quite the pickle of a lady who, for the most part, despised me.…

Day 19: Indulgences
Something you own that you’ve wanted for a long time… I have wanted my own, enclosed office for a long time! Especially after doing series of Zoom meetings out in the open and having a cat, dog, teenager, and husband interrupt me! Oh how I longed for a door!

Day 18: Chances
A chance you got that not everyone gets. There are many things in life that one gets a ‘chance’ to do! A trip, a job, an education… But what did I get a chance to do that not everyone does. For me? This meant my education. Why? Because of my husband. There are a lot…

Day 17: Thoughtfulness
The most thoughtful thing someone’s done for you. This goes back a long time… Many (many) years ago, someone made me a “PMS Survival Kit”. While I don’t recall all of the contents, I know it had some of my most favourite and needed things in it… Sour cream and onion chips, green olives, Tylenol,…
