Dear Princess Peach and Little Dude, Congrats on completing Grade 3 and Grade 1!!!! This year you both started at a new school. I remember the first day of school so clearly. It was nerve wrecking.

March 11, 2020 By 3 Comments
Over the last few weeks I have poo-pood people (like my mother) who were freaking out about the Coronavirus. It was far away from me, not yet in Toronto. Why would I worry? People started posting about their stockpiles; food, water, toiletries, cleaning supplies just in case. I didn’t get it. Why? It’s not […]

There is no coincidence that I’m posting this today. One year ago today, I was gifted with the most amazing experience, to meet Ellen DeGeneres. She has kept me laughing over the past few years, on good days and bad, that when I put my bucket list together I knew I needed to meet her. […]

Time. It’s a funny thing. There are times in my life when time seems to be inching along painfully slow. Then other times when time is going by so quickly that I wish I had a pause button to stop so could really savour the moment(s). There’s a quote by Buddha that says “The trouble […]

July 4, 2019 By 4 Comments
Since “coming out” with my Metastatic Breast Cancer diagnosis, the most asked question I get from others is: “How did you tell you kids about your cancer coming back?” Before I answer the question I need to say this.
