My husband Drew was born in Texas and thus that makes me a Texan by marriage. Yesterday, our beloved Houston Texans played the Tennessee Titans. So what? Yes, that is precisely what most non-football fans would say…until you start seeing football not just as a sport but as a story. In this particular story, the Texans […]

What Time-Out Has Taught Me…
Time-Out. When you were a child, were you ever given a time-out? Perhaps you did something you weren’t suppose to do or you were being unkind and as a result, your parent/teacher put you in a corner, sent you up to your room, or had you sit in a chair for time-out? That was me. […]

It wasn’t about the numbers, it was about the reveal that occurred as I connected the […]
5 Keys to Chaos
Yesterday morning I woke up alive and kicking. I love Tuesdays as they always start with an extra cuddle in bed, breakfast with Drew and a morning Yoga class at Lole Atelier Oakville. As I drove toward the Atelier, my eyes were drawn in two directions. One- the road in front of me, and two-a […]
