Another year full of challenges, but my daughter survived.
A personal reflection on finding unexpected love and joy after embracing solitude, and the liberating effects of letting go of social media and embracing real connections.
Today is Bell Let's Talk Day, a day focused on mental health awareness. For the past few years, I have been using it to talk about a theme for the next year.
Another challenging year, but coming out stronger than in the past.

Very cool.

The latest mix from Melfunction, a local DJ in Kelowna is fantastic.
I ended last year’s post writing about Kylie’s new found independence: walking around downtown or the mall without me right beside her, talking more with her friends in her room than with me, and so forth. This past year, that independence has really taken off.
A reflection on my birthday about another difficult year, plus book and music recommendations for the winter.
For the last few weeks, I have been enamoured with a newer series on AppleTV+ called Home. This series is different than the other types I listed as it is more of an exploration of what a home can be and silently asks the question, “What should a home be?”
Music creates an emotional attachment to our lives like nothing else can.
