As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey this year has been.

The world seems to have a lot of issues of late, and it is hard not to feel overwhelmed and unclear about what to focus on or care about.

2024 is shaping up to be a year of unforgettable live music experiences, especially in intimate, smaller venues where the magic of performance truly comes to life.

Sometimes, we just need a "me day." A friend introduced me to this concept—taking a day solely for yourself. This day can be whatever brings you happiness and enjoyment.

March is just beginning - spring is so close. For me, Spring is always a time of reflection, new beginnings and excitement.

This month, I've been fortunate to experience many highlights. My friend celebrated a milestone birthday and got her first tattoo, my daughter aged another year, my aunt turned 75, I returned to school after 2 decades, wrote an exam, had an amazing Reiki session…

New Year – Welcome 2024!!

Recently, I discovered the DJ feature on Spotify. Driving home, “my A.I. DJ” played some Counting Crows – in particular, “Raining in Baltimore”.

Reflections on 2023 – 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, 8,760 hours and 525,600 minutes. Not sequential I know, but SO WHAT???

Recently I saw a tweet where a man identified all his life lessons equal to his age. I thought this was an incredible idea - so decided to identify and document the 55 life lessons I have learned before my 56th Bday.

The journey of life has many twists and turns - the key to a life well led from my perspective is to be open to being able to pivot.

Recently I found myself with a few hours to kill while on the west side of Vancouver. I decided to take a drive over to Kits, take a walk on the beach, head up Broadway for a coffee, and stroll down South Granville.

During my career, I have had the great fortune to have had many remarkable mentors. None of these relationships were formal mentorship arrangements. 

We all possess superpowers – some get used often, and others are saved and used sparingly when required.

I spent Easter this year in beautiful Summerland with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. Easter is one of my favourite long weekend holidays; a 4 day weekend, spring weather, ham, and lots of chocolate.

There are so many things that bring me happiness. As I reflect on what brings me joy the list is endless…

Sometimes we get blocked or stuck – maybe you are in a rut, you don't feel quite like yourself, or there is something wrong that you can't quite define.

Being in the right place at the right time is it kismet? Serendipity? Fate? I often wonder.

I overheard a conversation of someone who said "I am so uninspired" and it got me thinking about what inspires me and what has inspired me.

I love motorbikes – especially Harley Davidson bikes, although Triumph and Indian come in a pretty close 2nd. The sound, the look of bikes, biker clothes, lifestyle, and the connection of being out on the open road with the wind in your face and freedom.

Recently at a family dinner, we had a discussion on rituals. Specifically, morning rituals – how you start the day.
