…Or ‘tooting my own horn’ is not something I am particularly comfortable with. But after my recent book signing, I am quickly discovering it’s the only way to market my book, so I’m really trying to get my trumpet blaring (whilst cringing on the inside!) I know what...

At least once a month, I get reprimanded. Not for being a bad wife and mother, or for burning dinner or not meeting a deadline, but for running on empty. It’s my husband’s pet peeve, and I honestly don’t do it on purpose, but I forget to fill my car with gas....

Feeble and yet powerful in His hands… Last week, I had the privilege of singing at the Global Leadership Summit in Kelowna, and was able to sit in on a number of fantastic lectures. Amongst an impressive line-up of world leaders in politics, business, and religion,...

… it’s Thanksgiving here in Canada! And pumpkins are EVERYWHERE! I’m rather excited about this because I find pumpkins somewhat magical. It probably stems from the whole Cinderella carriage thing, or maybe it’s the fact that I hadn’t ever seen a real pumpkin until I...

Okay, “magic” might be a slight exaggeration… But I’m SO relieved to have finished my book trailer! This technically- challenged chick had to pull out all the stops (and maybe a little hair) all in the name of staying current as an author. Good grief, writing a book...

I am utterly exhausted and totally exhilarated. My ankles have turned to cankles from the heat and the non-stop walking. Bonjour- I am in Montreal! I flew in on Tuesday with one mission- to set up my daughter in her new apartment ready for her third year at...

It happened- I knew it would eventually. My daughter turned twenty years old this week. And I’m somewhat in denial! Time is most certainly running amuck these days, and I’m dragging my heels trying to slow it all down. How can it be possible that in the blink of an...

“Summertime… and the livin’ is easy….” Ahh another long weekend in paradise! The temperature soars to 37 degrees, a glistening lake beckons, work is on hold, we find ourselves with an open house, surrounded with friends and family- if only I could make time stand...

I’ve been a soccer mom for 12 years, and this week I stepped it up a notch. I went to my very first pro game!     Being one of 4 daughters and growing up in England, soccer was a “boy thing” I had very little experience with. My soccer memories are of my...
