Choose Yourself First: Women Making Art (And History)
I thought I’d share a bit of reading material I’ve been using to help with the past five months I spent hibernating during one of Ottawa’s coldest winters in a while.

The reason why I want to empower women
You may remember I have been working on a startup concept (including a book)* for women since becoming pregnant and having my son abroad in the UK.

When one door closes
I came across this quote recently and it made me think, for every: missed opportunity; closed door; firm no; and I told you so. There’s always been: something different (sometimes greater); someone else; or some surprise… …waiting in the wings. A wise woman I once worked with held firm her belief: “A good no is better than aContinue reading “When one door closes”
