As I sit sipping my tea this morning my daughter is running all over the kitchen chasing a little, rubber bouncy ball. You know the type. The one the size of a quarter that when thrown bounces a million times, erratically all over the place, filling the house with giggles...
Sometimes life isn’t fair. No sugar coating, no rainbows. It just isn’t fair. Someone else gets the job, someone else wins the lotto. Friends change, marriages fail, life moves on. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. And that’s why I love sports. Hear me out. Sports are an escape. A chance...
A friend of mine recently asked me if I was writing anymore as she noticed I have been absent from my blog and social media. I replied. “I am, I’m just busy”, but as the conversation moved on, I felt a little pang in my heart. You see, I hate...

They say that laughter is the best medicine and this weekend I was reminded of that, as Steve Smith, aka Red Green, was inducted into the Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame. Both himself and his legacy were a huge part of my life, so being there to see him accept...
