Tips for the Fundraiser (Don’t take things to personally)

The greatest tragedy of all is the way that we treat each other. I have been spending extensive time out in the community as well at home and I can see that the behaviour that seems to be plaguing out nation is the exact same behaviour that I have been getting at home. Yesterday was…

Believe in You

What a whirlwind the last two days have been! It feels like forever since I posted. There is no greater feeling than seeing your dreams beginning to come true. For as long as I can remember I have dreamed of being able to help animals. Every furbaby I have ever met has a soft spot…

Beauty Inside of Us

I have a confession to make. Those photos that I flew to Vancouver and took, I have the proofs still sitting in my inbox. I have had them sitting there since Sunday evening. There is no doubt in my mind that these photos are pure perfection. Not because of the model but because of the…

There are no words…

There are no words but maybe just a few. I am trying really hard to love my husband like really hard so I am keeping myself busy. Submerging myself with the things that give me most joy. Any and all time spent with my son, time spent with my family, any time I get to…

The Universe

The Universe is designed to help strengthen our character to give us the tools necessary in order to survive. Isn’t that the nature of all beings is survive? And in the event that survival isn’t an option then we evolve. There are always those times when we feel tested, when we get angry at the…

Believe

Everything I am trying to do and will do boils down to me believing in myself. I thought once I wish I had done all this sooner but there was no possible way. It had nothing to do with believing but it had everything to do with necessity. Being a single woman living downtown in…
