I have two sisters and believe it or not, we didn’t always get along all the time. I remember one long road trip across the country when I was around 12 years old which would have made my sisters around 7 and 10. I should have been old enough to ignore their not-so-subtle attempts to drive me bonkers, but full …
Today I’d like to speak about a new science that I was introduced to today called Disaster Psychology. I received an email from a girlfriend this morning, which was a forward of a newsletter that she received from an author that she and I are both familiar with. The author is Dr. Tasha Ulrich, a Ph.D. in Psychology and her …
Yesterday was a weird day. Even weirder than normal, given the state of the global crisis right now. My sister mentioned a similar feeling over the weekend – almost like the shock is wearing off and our bodies have started to drop that natural defense we put up to protect ourselves in times of high stress and crisis.

Whether the panic comes from fear of the unknown, from stories …
I truly believe there’s a way to succeed in whatever goal I’m reaching for, nothing is impossible. For sure, might not always happen on an original timetable and the journey will definitely take detours but with Hope, Action and Creativity, combined with Confidence and Tenacity to keep going, it’s all possible. Those are the keys, I believe. First Hope – …
Anyone else get ridiculously excited over new planners? I’m such a pen and paper girl that when I open a new notebook, planner or organizer, the anticipation is palpable. Especially at this time of year – it feels new and fresh. And also intimidating and a bit full of pressure. The idea that at this time of year we need …
Are you as excited for 2020 as I am? As we’re getting closer to the start of the latest decade, I can’t help but feel this excitement and anticipation of what’s to come. One of the really cool initiatives I get to work on next year is creating sustainment opportunities for the personal and professional development training started this year …
This is my most favourite time of the year. For sure, it’s stressful and busy – the schedule coordination is out-of-control! 🙂 But there is so much to be thankful for at this time of year too, regardless whether you celebrate the Christmas holiday or not. There are so many opportunities to recognize joyful moments, I feel like this is …
