I am not sure I know what to think of the latest craze in replacing the burger. Let's be clear, I eat a whole foods, plant based diet; and I love a burger as much as the next girl. I just happen to use beans to make it. Well now I have a new option … Continue reading Healthy Fat?

In three days my veggie eatin' daughter will be home. I am so excited to see her and feed her good food. She is a vegetarian, so there will be cheese in the house, and compromises to be made.

Moving forward, my intention is to write small pieces about single experiences, but I could not leave this great place without acknowledging some of its greatness. For the past two … Continue reading Thank You Pahoa
I celebrated 20 years with a major Canadian Insurer this January, and 2 weeks later I resigned. As I opened up to Senior Vice Presidents, Co-workers and friends, I heard how brave I must be , to make such life changing decision. To be honest, I don’t see it.

This beautiful clock was given to me, by a friend, almost 14 years ago. At the time it was a symbolic offer of the time we had spent together and the unexpected life events, that as friends, we would need to laugh and cry through.
