Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Law of Attraction at Work

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

This weekend brought back some sweet and not so sweet memories, friends and wonderful times but that wasn’t the best moment, although they were fantastic. The particular moment I’ll always remember, cherish and talk about is the comment on my parenting.

Government Surveys

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I am sick and tired of being reminded twice a week as to how our current government is allocating our tax money. About twice a week, every month or more, we receive unaddressed mail asking us to “vote” on which party in our country is doing a better job at __________ - every time it’s [...]

I put forth the best of intentions to have everything go smoothly - concentrating on the date of birth and how long the delivery would take. I was surprised by the outcome [...]

Yann Martel is Brilliant - Sort Of

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

With response to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s lack of support for literacy, Canadian authors, and the arts much has to be said about the creative ways people are bringing his attention to their importance.
Today I learned of Canadian author, Yann Martel’s creative way of doing something and, although I love the idea I can’t help [...]
