Sometimes, there is a love so pure, it transcends space, time and gravity. I love you, too. Dawn

Turn off the television!
Someone asked me what little tweak made the biggest difference in my life. It’s hard to choose just one, as my yellow brick road follows a path similar to an elaborate connect the dots puzzle. Rather than pick one habit, let me take you on a journey of how I adapted to pull myself out…
For Richer or Poorer
It is amazing what a difference a bonus cheque can make. It’s the difference between red and black. It’s the difference between panic and patience. It’s the difference between staring at struggles or dreaming your dreams. It’s the difference between finishing university or not being able to afford the luxury of an education. It’s dental…
What If?
Apologies to my readers! As I dive into 2019 with my fearless attitude, work and life have never been busier. But I miss you and our conversations, so I got up early to spend some time with you on this lovely Sunday morning. Last year, I learned how to not worry. I had been through…
Be Fearless
Welcome to 2019! Numbers are pure magic to me and I especially love the odd ones. As my friend said, the biggest things happen in the odd years. The number 9 has always been my favourite. Why? Because I love the number 3 and 9 = 3 x 3! One of my favourite University classes…

Can you imagine wrapping in the same paper year after year after year? I commented “I can’t commit that fully…
Focus on the Prize
A year ago, I was at the apex of my cumulative cancer treatments. Surgery, dozens of tests, hospitalizations, drugs, chemotherapy and radiation had huge side effects on my brain and body. It felt very much like the forgetfulness we all feel as we age, but much sharper and more pronounced. I knew I was forgetting…
Paperless Trail
I save every single receipt. Every. Single. One. Just in case I have to prove I bought something. Anything. Milk and bread. Gas. A new Hollister hoodie. You can imagine the mountain of paper that builds. The receipts weren’t even nicely folded into file folders, but wadded into balls and stuffed into boxes. Over nine…
FEARLESS 2019
My Chosen Word. It’s more than than a New Year’s resolution. It’s the one little word that you want to write on your soul. Something to live with and embrace in the coming year. It’s a word that might find its way to you on its own, and keep showing up on your doorstep, waiting…
