And…she’s back!
It has been quite a year. A roller-coaster political adventure, re-integrating into work, and taking an opportunity to evaluate my goals afresh. I’m working on creating new avenues of opportunity, and focusing on health and wellness. We are back in our walking routine (although 10000+ steps a day campaigning was no holiday), getting around the…

Get Walking! You’ll See Your Neighbourhood from a Whole New Perspective
The milder weather seems to be making a comeback. Hurray! For me, the best thing about that is the fresh perspective I’m able to get, every single morning. People who live near the ocean often comment that the view is always changing…as if they have a lock on that. I can tell you having lived…

Are You Fit to Win?
Are You Fit To Win? I’ve been away from the blog for awhile…back in January, I was juggling so many things that I managed to get sick. I am one of those people who *never* gets sick (and by that I mean rarely, and usually a very mild case of whatever it is). So I was…

But I HATE Kale! (Full Disclosure, I Don’t)
This is a refrain I hear all the time. The most “egregious” (according to its detractors) is kale.

It looks funny. And…

A good rule-of-thumb is to keep the milligrams of sodium equal or less…

It’s a Whole New Year!
What I love best about New Year’s Day is that everyone sees the potential for a fresh start. My resolution for 2018? To help as many people as possible understand that we have that potential every single day. No matter what’s happened before, we can be better from here on in. Yesterday I began posting…

Forward is the Only Way
Wherever you’re headed, the only way to get there is to move forward. If you have a dream, a goal, or a plan, you can’t get there by going back in time. Oh, you can revisit the past. You can consider what you’ve learned and incorporate that into your wayfinding plan. You can understand if…

No fuss, no muss, and a whole lot of fibre…
Last night I made a batch of one of my easiest homemade breads. It’s more of a method than a recipe, although the proportions have been worked out after much experimentation. (In the EAT section of my site, you’ll find other recipes, including other breads). There’s nothing like homemade bread for breakfast, or a sandwich,…
