Gratitude Journal: April 28, 2018
It's time for another gratitude journal post. I've missed a few weeks so I have some catching up to do, and of course lots to be thankful for. Easter with my brother, sister-in-law and baby niece. They travelled to Alberta to pick up a horse and stopped to visit me. It made my weekend! Holidays... Continue Reading →
Gratitude Journal: March 25, 2018
Last week I started an online Gratitude Journal. On a regular basis, I will be blogging about what I'm grateful for at the moment. Life is tough. When it seems like nothing is going your way, it can be hard to feel grateful. But I believe there's always something that can put a smile on... Continue Reading →
Gratitude Journal: March 17, 2018
Welcome to my online Gratitude Journal! You may recall, in 2016 I had a blog series titled Year of Joy where I recapped various things that brought me joy every month. This will be similar, but I'm going to try and post more frequently. Because even when you've had a rough day, there's always something... Continue Reading →
Year of Joy: June
I can't believe we're halfway through the year 2016 already - the first six months have flown by. June is not only the beginning of summer but also my birthday month, so that means I should have even more to be joyful about this month. Let's get started! June brings my favourite season - summer.... Continue Reading →
Year of Joy: May
May has come and gone, and it's time for another Year of Joy post. I've declared 2016 my Year of Joy and every month I have many things to be joyful about. My favourite farmer, my dad, celebrated his 65th birthday doing what he loves, farming. Last year I travelled to Ontario on a regular... Continue Reading →
Year of Joy: April
I can't believe it's May already. This year is flying by. So many exciting things happened in April. This is my year of joy and every month I'm sharing things that have brought me joy. Here's April: Annual mother-daughter weekend in Calgary. Always a fun time. Volunteering at the annual Calgary Stampede Aggie Days event,... Continue Reading →
Be a Volunteer
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill I've always had a love of volunteering and come by it honestly growing up in a farm family where my parents were strong examples of volunteering in our small community and church - bringing food to...

There is no playbook in life
As I sit here watching the 2016 IIHF World Championship gold medal women's hockey game between Canada and the USA on TV, I think of play books. It's probably safe to assume that both teams have an extensive playbook filled with various plays and drills - all with the goal of improving their game and... Continue Reading →
Be happy for no reason
Wouldn't we all like to be happy for no reason? I certainly would. Once again I had the privilege of attending the Advancing Women in Agriculture conference in Calgary last week. And one of the keynote speakers spoke on this very subject. As regular readers of this blog will know, I've declared 2016 my Year... Continue Reading →
