There is beauty in nature. You just have to see it.
It may seem obvious for me to say “there is beauty in nature”, but I am challenging you to take the time to really look. I mean really see it and feel it. It has been a very long while since I have written a blog. Life has been busy — more than usual — […]
Meet Your Great-great Grandparent or Great-great Grandchild?
On CHUM FM radio this morning, Roger, Darren, and Marilyn posed this very interesting question to each other and their audience: Who would you rather meet? Your great-great grandparent or your great-great-grandchild? Who would you rather meet — your great-great-grandparent or your great-great-grandchild? Interestingly enough, it was unanimous amongst the hosts that they would rather […]
If You Have Grandparents and Parents… Ask Questions Now!
If you have ever thought of asking questions of your parents or grandparents, to get the stories that lie deep in their memory banks, I would like to inspire you to ask questions now! I have heard too often “I wanted to but now they are gone”. How well do you know your grandparents? Hopefully, […]
No Time to Think?
Missing Time To Think? Our brains are constantly turned on, busy, occupied. And somehow we don’t prioritize time to think. Of course, we are thinking all day, but what I mean is to contemplate, imagine, visualize, analyze, and open our minds.

You Are Not Invincible
You are not invincible. We are human and we are not invincible. When we are younger (in our late teens, 20’s and even 30’s), our bodies allow us to think we are. We ‘recover’ quickly, so that we don’t even miss a beat. For example, a night out during university years (and I mean a […]
Take a moment. Smell the roses!
Take A Moment I decided to go for an earlier than usual walk this morning. Maybe because of the time change this weekend? It has been quite a few days since I was able to walk my dog; to take a moment for myself to smell the roses. Don’t worry about Delray. My parents were […]
Make Time To Take A Breath
Don’t Wait For Calmer Seas — Make Time To Take A Breath Whew! That was a crazy week. This is the first time I have sat down and had a chance to breathe. I feel like I was a little sailboat caught in a tumultuous ocean — too busy trying to keep the boat upright […]
Laughter Is The Best Medicine – What’s So Funny?
Laughter Is The Best Medicine I think everyone has heard the expression, laughter is the best medicine. I have found that it truly is! When people drive by and see us laughing, they probably wonder, what’s so funny? I cannot remember the last time I laughed so much. I walk my dog Delray every morning […]
Between Interruptions
I am not sure how many times I have wished for just one week to myself, without interruptions? Working from home sets a precedent in my house– I am the one who looks after everything that comes up unexpectedly and of course, all those things that have to fall during the day that is planned, […]
