“I Am Too Fat To Be Here, I Don’t Belong.”
A client of mine told me such a sad story. She told me that her husband’s mom was in town visiting. My client said that she has been trying to encourage her mom-in-law to go to the gym or even to get out and to do some walking, as she had become quite sedentary […]
Our Last Day – 30 Days of Wellness!

Just Go Get The Damn Test!
These past few years I have suffered greatly from a severe iron deficiency called Anemia. At one point, my ferritin levels were at a 2 and they are suppose to be around 44. Needless to say , I was not well. This summer I was close to getting fed up with feeling like I had […]

And Now, Back To Our Regular Scheduled Programming…
Some people joke that implementing systematic thinking and behaviour could be seen as being a little OCD. While that may partially be true, I see benefits of having systems and to me, it makes complete sense to have them if you want to succeed at something. Let’s use my husband Quentin as an example.

An Attitude of Gratitude
Do you have any of those humans in your life that are just really great? I mean positive, thoughtful, intentional and supportive? My friend Denise has been just that person. No pretense. What you see is what you get. So when I thought of writing on the topic of gratitude for our 30 Days […]
The Biggest Blessing
Over the past number of years, my mother has been involved in Royal Le Page’s Annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser. She starts making chocolate trees or santas in October and people receive a chocolate after they purchase a gift for a guest at the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. During the last few office Christmas parties, my […]
