This is probably going to be an annual thing for me. Writing about the year that was. After 2 years of mostly putting things on hold and going on hiatus because of the pandemic, everyone I know was excited about 2023. The new year, for most, signals an end of one chapter and marks the … Continue reading Remembering 2022
Salt of the earth
Basic and fundamental goodness. I am writing about a person who I consider a salt of the earth. I have never met anyone in the world who just has this basic goodness in him. No religion required, just pure goodness. The joy of my life - my husband. A heart of gold with lots of … Continue reading Salt of the earth
Dear 2021…
Oh, 2021. What a year you have been for me and Josef. It was mostly great, so thank you!

Random walks in the park
We live in the city of London, here in Southwestern Ontario. It's also called “The Forest City” because it's surrounded by acres of land and parks with a view of the city, built at the fork of the Thames River.

The power of perseverance
My husband and I moved to Canada without knowing what awaits us. A leap of faith, as what we always call it. We left our families back home, and thought, "we are going to try and live our best life in this new country." Our eyes lit up when we planned and spoke about it … Continue reading The power of perseverance

Leap of Faith
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to just get out, let go of the past and just start over. Almost 32 years of existence, I thought of finally just getting out there, and plunge into the unknown world. I am a dreamer. A passionate one. I need constant purpose and intent to … Continue reading Leap of Faith
First ever vlog!
The husband and I started vlogging just for the fun of it. It's such a great feeling learning a new skill. He is better than I am now, but I will definitely take credit for some of the 'artistic' clips and the directing of the video overall! LOL! So anyway, here's the very random one … Continue reading First ever vlog!
Impact of Workplace Culture
I've always believed that one key factor in having a motivated and performing workforce is the workplace culture. It is very important that an organization defines the values, vision and mission; and obviously not only simply define them and write them on a piece of document or post it on every wall in your office. … Continue reading Impact of Workplace Culture
