March through the years

I don’t often like to plan too far ahead but looking back and seeing the journey we’ve been on, makes me grateful for always taking chances, being curious, following my intuition and having fun.

I am learning to ask for help (again), be kind to myself (again) and what the rest my body and mind currently need looks and feels like (again), versus what I may have previously needed.

How quickly things can change

Life is unpredictable. I’m sure you’ve felt this at some point. One moment your day is going one way and then things change in an instant.

The fourth trimester: Baby has arrived and business news 🚼📊

Fall Delights: A Photo Tour

When Your Goals Take A Detour

Thanks to this pandemic for showing me I’d much rather label school supplies in between attending virtual Startup Canada gov consultations, recording podcast interviews and doing freelance work.
