This is your reminder that advanced polls are open this long weekend. Everyone should exercise the right to vote. If you can't decide, show up and cast a blank ballet. But exercise that right. Also....bring ID. Don't forget.

Bestie Christmas gifts! This is going to be out to work immediately!

Calm & quiet @oakislandresort

Merry Christmas Eve from our snow covered trees to yours! Today was pretty solid and tomorrow is looking to be awesome. Driveway is preshovelled for early morning adventures! I hope you find peace in your own quiet tonight. ❤️

You know those people who you grow up with? Your parents force you together for every birthday and holiday no matter if you share interests or not? Doesn't matter. They show up when you need them and you don't even have to tell them. They just know. And I love them for it.

As we hurtle towards a new year, take a minute to breathe. If I have learned anything in the last month, it's to take time and sit in the moment, and savour it. Sometimes we know the weight of a moment, and sometimes we only know when it's gone. I want to cling to all of them.

"No throwing body parts on the stairs" and other things I say at my job.....

For a presentation I am giving tomorrow. One of the most common mistakes I see in discussions of mental health is "othering" - the idea that mental health problems only happen to susceptible people. The truth is, when our pressures overwhelm our supports, there we are.

Curtain drop on outdoor movie night!

Using our blank walls as a canvas for honoring the experiences of residential school survivors. 🧡

I know Dame Maggie Smith will be remembered for her roles in Harry Potter and Downtown Abbey ....but to me she will always be the cranky maid in The Secret Garen. 🌹🌷
