Today, June 7th is National Cancer Survivor’s Day, a day where we honour all of the wonderful heroes walking among us who have lived through the scary diagnosis of cancer, and walked through to the other side. As most of you know, I have worked with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada to raise money […]
Do You Know A Caring Canadian?
Each time we turn on the news we are bombarded with so much tragedy and violence. So today I want to take a few minutes to talk about the good in people and the world, because it can be easy to get caught up in the bad. There are so many wonderful people in Canada […]
#PlantItForward with Kashi
With the always rising costs of food, and many people focusing more on eating healthy, nutritious food, I think we are all looking for ways to eat better, but save money at the same time. One easy way to do that is by growing your own fruit and vegetables! Did you know that less than […]
Bluenose Half Marathon 2015
Remember back this winter when I actually thought I was going to show up to a spring race fully trained for it? I amuse myself sometimes. Needless to say, that didn’t happen. First we had the winter that just would end, and I’m a terrible treadmill runner so my training didn’t really start until […]
Cut Yourself Some Slack
I never learn. Well, that’s not entirely true, I do learn, but then something happens and I find myself going back and doing the exact thing I already learned I shouldn’t do. The packaging might be a little bit different, but the end result is always the same. I’m working myself to death. I need […]

Spring Cleaning: Your Mind
Hi there! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was, and wasn’t at the same time. I had some health issues pop up on Friday and linger through the weekend so I spent a lot of it resting (and not running. I was suppose to run 10 miles in my half marathon training…). […]
