Fasting. Just what in creation are you talking about? I think most people are likely only really familiar with fasting when it's for a medical reason. When someone tells you that you have to. Many for a medical procedure or a more common inconvenience when you have to fast before getting blood work done. Maybe …
Going Back – Way Back
It’s something I haven’t done for a while. A long while. Too long really. A few weeks ago I went skating. It’s been years since I have done it and much longer since I’ve done it regularly. I was very excited to go again after that, so I did. Since I had gone to an …
What My Cancer Journey Taught Me – Part 1
Where should I start? I am going to split this in to 2 separate posts but I could probably do many more, since I have learned so many things going through all that I have been through. So maybe the title should be some of the things I have learned. Here is a little bit …

The Smile – It’s Lopsided
Your smile. It can be something that you share often and use freely or something that you hide and might not bring out very often. Let's admit it, if you are being really honest, you are similar to most of us and when you see yourself in a picture, you quickly make a judgment on …
Regret – What I Wish I Learned The First Time
Regret. It's something that we are all likely going to face at some point in our lives, if not many times. Hard to avoid really. But I guess it depends on what you are regretting, why you are regretting it and how you plan to move forward past the regret. Easier to talk about than …

Hhmm is depowered a word? I'm not too sure, but let's go with it just for me. Like so many things in life, it comes down to choice or choices. Are your choices going to empower you or remove your power? Are you going to take back power and control or give it away? Every …
Comparison-An Easy Pitfall
You might find yourself sitting there in a situation and your biggest decision factors are what others will think of what you have done or will do. Wow! That’s overwhelming and a lot to carry. And it really seems like a no win scenario.

If your hope lies in all negative, bad or destructive things being blown away in one fall swoop, you will likely always be disappointed. If you can find hope in the small, incremental progress that happens towards resetting bad systems or holding systems to account, that is success.

Below Zero – How to Protect On The Inside
-50 DEGREES!!!! Yes -50 degrees windchill outside friends. Yikes. 😨 I like to call winter the season we regularly ask ourselves "just why in tarnation do we continue to live here?" The answer to that question could be logical or even illogical. Depends on the day I suppose. Or perhaps the temperature outside more likely. Here in Saskatchewan, we are …

Testing – Did I Pass?
It really feels like I have spent much of my life sitting in hospital waiting rooms and in clinics waiting for medical tests. It really started when I was 16, with cancer diagnosis #1. While I haven't done every medical test possible (thank goodness) I have definitely completed a whole lot of them. Some of …
