Stories – We All Have Them
A personal story. You have one, I have one. Crazy how that works, right? I recently was asked to share my health journey with a group of people in a webinar. Not really sure now many people were on the call. Probably between 60-70. Every time I share my story with anyone whether it's one …
Why – It Doesn’t Make Sense

Today – It’s A Big Day
So today is a very big day, at least for us Canadians. One of the most consequential elections will be happening today.
