It’s already February and I am thinking about Self Love   January has come and gone, Chinese New Years was SUPER fun and Valentines Day is almost here. I am getting all worried about all my commitments. I want to do everything! Everything doesn't fit in!  Ok, time to cut myself some slack and offer myself a little bit of loving.  I am planning on recommitting to being more consistent. I get all excited about ideas and things I want to do and then Poof! I get all pear shaped and sideways and somehow not all the things I promised myself...

Just got booked to teach a bachelor how to cook healthy meals at home, could this be a new calling, lol?

I used to live up the hill in Upper Westmount, before I fell from grace and sold my home. In Upper Westmount there is no trash because it's a clean fancy neighbourhood. When I moved down the hill to Lower Westmount, it is what we call the Flats or Lower Westmount. There are commercial stores, restaurants, our Super Hospital nearby, subway stations etc... fairly high density, lots...

Today is December 17th, it's the 40th Anniversary of my Skating Accident. The day my precious skating was taken away from me. I was 18. I should have won Canadians that year. I was at the very top of my game. I was both incredibly artistic as well as technically brilliant. Skating was my favourite thing in the whole world, I lived it, I breathed it, I lived for skating. Six days a week, eight hours a day. Up at 4:30 am, squeezing in my schooling around a jam-packed skating, training, dance & choreography day. I loved it. It was the...
