MY blog

So, on Monday morning, I had a conversation with a longtime friend and coach, Stacy. She’s my person when I need a reset. We were chatting about following through on things and she mentioned she’d just done a fast, and I was curious. She offered to send me a video that explained why she does it, […]

How a Little Bit of Brave Creates Generational Confidence… This past weekend, I took my son Jack on a little Mommy/Baby overnight adventure to Elora. Yes, he’s 14, but our outings will always carry the “Mommy/Baby” brand – I only infantilize him in the marketing, not in real life. Chad was away on business and […]

so we’ve had family core values for a while now. i’ve made mugs and mini posters for the house before – and some have stuck for sure – the number of times i’ve hard my son tell me to ‘choose adventure‘ when i don’t want to jump in the freezing water and cliff dive with […]

i watched a tik tok recently – i went back to try and find it and there’s a ton of them now so i don’t recall the og one i saw – but basically it said: if something ‘bad’ happens – don’t worry about it – because it’s all just part of the plot. -tik […]

this weekend i got to go to the fogo island inn with a group of friends and fam for my future brother in laws surprise birthday. i’ve heard the fan fare of fogo for years now. and it’s been on my bucket list – not necessarily because it looked so enticing – to be honest […]

the other day i decided that i should go swimming at 5:30 in the morning. let me first say 100% of this sounded like an awful idea. it’s dead of winter, i’m off my early morning schedule and the idea of getting up in pitch black to get into a cold pool and do cardio […]

i’m currently re-obessed with the seven habits of highly effective people. i say re-obessed because this is my second round of obsession with sir steven covey’s masterpiece on how to live life as an optimal human. (side, bar, i know he’s not been knighted, however he should have been.). i listened to this book about […]

we’ve got a new ontario bar that’s just opened! welcome to the world THE TEN SPOT® pickering. not gonna lie – this was a doozy of a bar to get off the ground. lease was signed pre-covid, and construction was underway – then pandemic season one – halted everything, we got a touch of time […]
