God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not [...]

It’s 8am and I am feeling proudly Canadian at this moment. Neall left for a men’s ski day up at Whistler this morning at 5:30.

This past weekend I had an up-close and personal experience of the power that being vulnerable has. A woman from womensville asked me for some advice about how she can keep loving her husband when the novelty of being married to a Neanderthal is wearing incredibly thin. When I was thinking about how I was [...]

OK so I’m on my way to meet with my ‘sponsee’ today. She is going through the same twelve step program that I did. This is my first experience as a Sponsor, and my job is to listen, L-I-S-T-E-N! I am not there as a personal coach, I do not have my ‘Dear Abby’ hat [...]

As hard as doing that twelve step program was, I’d have to say that it surprised me and has brought me even more joy than my first visit to the shoe department at Nordstroms. So it’s been a year since I quit drinking. I went to my churches 12 step program, called Freedom Session, mainly to support a [...]

Self esteem and status. Self Esteem and Status…so women in North America are ruled by their self-esteem and status eh? You know when my self-esteem is high and life is going great, I don’t question this theory. I’m the first to admit that yes, I see it clear as day, especially when looking at the [...]
What does success mean to you?

I did a great exercise last night with my ‘monday night women’. We were asked to write down ‘what success means to us personally’. It was interesting that we all had similar and also very different measures of success. Here’s what success means to me; I’m living in gratitude and expressing it! I am not taking things [...]
