I enjoyed my company today. Almost 10 degrees - that was something else. I did a little writing and took in the vitamin D.

I’d rather write 2000 words in the morning than do the dishes I didn’t tackle last eve. #WritersCommunity

It’s a treat to wake up and see the HMCS St. John’s go by. It’s a Canadian Frigate #Halifax

That sunshine puts a spring in your step. A great day for writing. #writingcommunity

I am tracking spending and tracking food. Sometimes the spending sabotages my food goals.

What if we looked at things differently?Fabulous resource for people who want healthy relationships.

I heard that 37M lbs of honey comes out of Alberta. I’m learning so much about what we do in our country.

This space is magical. Even though the wind was howling and the temperatures cutting, the sheer beauty made standing outside to take the picture worth it.

Proud to be Canadian, not just on #CanadianFlagDay but every day.

Today’s journal prompt for the Empowered Spender is “Does my spending align with my values?”

I will be teaching some young adults how to do their own #taxes. We are starting with paper - can we still get packages at the post office? We can print online now.

Our journaling check in this week - What progress are you most proud of, and how does it motivate you to keep going?

Week 2 of the book club. We have a wonderful group of adult educators who are interested in activities around manifesting - we have so much potential. This book is a valuable tool in education.

My first drafts are usually with pen and paper. There’s something satisfying about a pen running out of ink. I’ve run out five times this year. They weren’t all used up in one year. #WritingCommunity

“Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short.” Henry David Thoreau

I am still feeling the glow of spending time with seniors today. I decided last year that I wanted to do more in person volunteer work. What started out as a session for writers, turned into a beautiful facilitated discussion with seniors about stories that were yearning to be told.

What are you reading?

We are at that area of the memoir where I write about the benefits and burdens of university - it definitely impacted my parenting style and my daughter felt it. #memoir #WritingCommunity

I love my new calendar “The Writers Year”. I’d never thought of this one and frankly had no idea what “infinite-verb” phrases were, did you? #WritingCommunity

Often we need to let go of people and habits that hold us back. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫? 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

Here's that song from Allan Byrne that we played on the CBC Radio Morning Show across Newfoundland and Labrador today: youtu.be/AWiB7z0dqK0?...

I was not as disciplined as I had planned this year. Although i journaled daily, my writing project didn’t fare as well. There’s always 2025. #WritingCommunity

And it’s a wrap - the trip to New York did not disappoint. Lots of wonderful memories made. From the practical side, it’s not an easy feat for a visually impaired person. It’s time to give up crowded destinations stop - I needed a sighted guide 100% of the time. Shifting gears on next destination.

It was a wonderful first - Broadway.

We are heading to NYC for a trip we have been planning this for some time. It’s going to be a wonderful family weekend.

What do you do in your free time? Crochet is like meditation for me.

I write every single day. Not all of it makes sense. #writingcommunity
