The other week, I was chastised for using the phrase … “I refuse to give up. We CAN’T give up hope.” Apparently, according to the protagonist, the word hope is far too passive for our world now, is not what is needed these days and should be replaced with ‘love and rage.’ It’s not about […]
Otis Redding? Kindness? I can hear you mumbling. C’mon woman. I am sooooo busy. Exactly! And that’s why this piece is short.

It was Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada a week ago. We have so much to be grateful for, don’t we? On Sunday, I received a note from a friend I hadn’t seen in over ten years. He was fundraising for a cause close to his heart. See, his son was born with a rare liver […]

As I get closer to completing my manuscript, I suddenly have an epiphany. We all like to know the ending BEFORE we finish the beginning! I haven’t even finished the book, let alone mapped out all the plans behind the book, and I am jumping to the endpoint. Worse, I’ve done this a million times […]
A dear friend has been staying with us for the last three months. It’s been an intensive and stress-free place for her business to re-find her bliss. It’s been a reality check on my ideas and an excellent opportunity to re-explore intimate female friendships. I’ve taken to calling her The Dog Whisperette. (Hey, have you […]
