I want 2022 to be a great year. I don’t want to make resolutions that I won’t stick to. Instead, I want to become intentional with my words, actions and deeds. I am going to be very real and honest with you today. I feel inferior and that I don’t measure up. This isn’t something…

A Danish Christmas in Canada
Today I want to take you on a journey back in time to when I was in a little girl and the way my family celebrated Christmas. A Danish family Christmas, celebrated in Canada, on Christmas Eve. It was everything I could ever have wanted and I was so blessed. Christmas dinner was the first…
Buying or Creating Gift Baskets
Gift baskets and boxes are always a popular thing to give or receive. But have you ever received a gift basket where there are items you either didn’t appreciate or you didn’t ever use? I have. Have you ever stopped and thought about actually making those gift baskets or gift boxes yourself? It is easier…
Off-Grid and What Does That Actually Mean?
In today’s society everyone is plugged in and “on” all of the time. For many of us checking our phone for messages, tweets, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest is a multiple-times-a-day thing to do. I admit, I do my fair share of those things as well. That is why part of my vacation this…
Building Trust and Not My Story To Tell
One of the most important things to me in any relationship is trust. Trust that I am in a safe place to share my hopes, dreams and secrets. Too many times I hear people repeating conversations and stories about other people. Is that really gossip? No one likes to be called a gossip. But what…
Greatness and Eeyore
I don’t know who the quote is from but I found it compelling. “Instead of expecting love from someone else, try loving Yourself Authentically, Unconditionally and most importantly, Profoundly. The way you love or treat yourself dictates or defines how others are to treat you. If they refuse to do so, please do not degrade…
Road Trip Within BC And Amazing Poutine
As Spring arrives my thoughts turn to road trips and travel. With Covid still affecting touring, today I am going to reflect on a particular road trip heading into the interior of British Columbia. Our journey took us to a great gem in the Cariboo Region of 70 Mile House and to a wonderful restaurant…
Spring And A New Challenge
It is starting to look like Spring here on the West Coast of Canada and I love it! Seeing the green peek out on tree branches and the tulips, crocus and snowdrops start pushing themselves up out of the ground makes me smile. Those little signs means it is almost time for me to dust off…
A Galvanized Tub And A True Hero
Picture if you will a blond haired toddler with big blue eyes and an impish crooked smile. A little boy who loves life and loves his family. One who plays in the cool water of a galvanized tub in the backyard during the heat of summer. Turn the clock forward to his teen years where…
Gardening And A Green Thumb or Black Thumb
As far back as I can remember my parents had a big garden and a greenhouse. My Mom would start planting tomato, cucumber, peppers and any other vegetable of choice in January or February as seedlings indoors. Over the years she tried various containers to start these seedlings in. I remember her using cardboard egg…
