For the record I am NOT a Kardashian fan. I am not a Jenner fan. I am most definitely not a Kayne West fan. I, like many of you have strong opinions about how they got to be so outrageously...
I don’t know if this was during your lifetime; but there was a time, when a very young Barbara Streisand, and Goldie Hawn graced the covers, of Vogue magazine. Also during this time, the magazine only cost, sixty cents. Yeah,...
Today I have an insanely busy day, CBC launch with YB, then a evening meeting with some ACTRA peeps (our Canadian actors’ union) to discuss the new CRTC ruling, and the Liberals not really being behind protecting Canadian content, then...
This is one of those things that not only makes me go “hmmm” it actually falls under the “OH COME ON” for me. Which is a new one, it lands between the “hmmm” and the “I can’t even” just to...
Fall is definitely my favorite season. Everything about it makes me happy; the cooler temperatures allowing for windows to be open, fresh air flowing freely. My dogs can actually go for walks with no worry about burning their paws, or...
For most of my life I have had at least one dog. In fact, I think, if memory serves me well, there may have been seven years tops, of my forty seven, that I’ve spent without a dog. I believe...
This is not a thing that makes me go “hmmm” post. Today I’m giving tribute to my dad. He turned sixty-five today, and we spent a large part of it together…at the hospital, while he got X-rays, and a CT...
I’ve been sitting at my computer starting, and deleting posts for the better part of an hour. I didn’t want to write about the twenty year old who shot up the mall, killing five people, one being a sixteen year...
There are things I am absolutely willing to accept. I accept that it is very near the end of September, and the mornings now have dew on the grass, and on my SUV. I happily accept that this means that...
Other people’s relationships are none of my busy. I learned a long time ago, that when a girlfriend is sharing any issues she is having with her partner, that in no way shape or form is an invitation for my...
Yannick and I have three healthy, intelligent, amazing daughters. We too as children were healthy, all our cousins (and there are too many to list/count)were healthy kids, as are our nieces and nephews. We’ve been blessed. In fact, we’ve won...
This morning I woke with a start. Yannick’s alarm was set for 4:30am, an alarm I didn’t hear go off, because I wear heavy duty earplugs, thanks to his snoring, and what I’m assuming, that thanks to aging, is my...
Since yesterday my thoughts have been consumed by; “how do we make the world the sort of world we want to live in?” Whether it be the littering issue, which I posted about on Sunday. Or respect, and kindness toward...
For some reason I find myself on the front line of becoming a voice for violence against women, committed by men. By strange men to boot. Literally one month, plus ten days since I had my first “stranger violence encounter”...
Many things happened today, Sunday September 18th, 2016. 1) it had been almost exactly two years to the day since I last went on a bike ride with my husband. Two years ago, we were riding at our favorite place,...
When our girls were little, one was in competitive skating, forty-five minutes north of where we lived, while the other rode horses, competitively, luckily only ten-minutes from our house, and the baby was in gymnastics, thankfully during the days, which...
When I was a little girl I loved performing, just as all small kids did, and am confident that small children still do. I bet there isn’t one of you reading this who hasn’t made every single person at a...
Today is a full disclosure post: Let me begin by stating that I eat animal protein. Not much, because I fundamentally disagree with it, but enough to keep me from becoming sick. I am not a vegan. I have mad...
For as long as I can remember I’ve had a dog, or dogs. There was only an incredibly brief time of my life, maybe five-seven years of my forty-seven, where I have not had a four legged companion, in the...
There are days that mark moments in time, days that people recall exactly what they were wearing, where they were, and what they were doing when they heard or witnessed the “moment” for themselves. The day Kennedy was shot. The...
Tonight I cozied in with my eldest daughter, to at long last sit and watch the series finale of Downton Abbey. I know, I know, it aired SO LONG AGO, what the hell have I been doing with myself? How...
