Be the Best I can be, Today
I am 41 and spent Mother’s day morning getting up at 5:30 (yes a.m.) by choice to do a 10km run. (Run is a strong word). Now before you shut me off and say this doesn’t apply to you, just stick with me for a moment. I am NOT one of those super fit types that loves to exercise. ... >Read More

Someone had chosen to use my financial information for their own gain, and had pretended to be me for purposes that I’d had nothing to do with. The bank alerted me... >Read More

Put Worry in its Place
Last night I was so worried about not getting enough sleep that I couldn't sleep. My brain was working through all the details of the next day and I knew I had to be awake for it all. Ever have a night like that when your mind is your worst enemy?

Fishing, Friends and Forgiveness
Thirty minutes from my home flows the Fraser River, a major thoroughfare for millions of migrating salmon that return each summer to spawn in its tributaries. We fishers catch them by casting long lines into quick currents, and when a 5-lb beauty hooks on, the fight can be fun and furious.
