When I heard Gabor Mate was writing another book, I immediately went searching for it. Naturally it wasn't out yet. But a few months passed, it showed up and I ordered it. "The Myth of Normal" arrived at my doorstep via Amazon. I've just read the intro and I'm already underlying sections. 'Worse yet...

The air has gotten crisper. I will have to catch the stray cat, that I have been feeding, and pass it onto the local "SPCA." I really do want to keep it but I haven't told my partner yet. Perhaps if they have no room for it, then I can keep it! We already took in three strays, would a fourth matter?...

Today's #WednesdayWins is all for those who look after us. No, not our mom's, but I am thankful for them, but those in the medical profession. Yesterday, my partner had numerous medical appointments. For those in the city, it is common for those in rural Canada to have numerous appointments, or thin...

Planning, planning , planning!There is always something on our minds and plate. So how do you keep it all organized? Do you use scraps of paper, an actual planner or your iPhone? Each has its own merit and downfalls. What do you prefer? I'd love to know.

I believe everyone should do this every day, in fact, a few times a day. This wellness technique helps us to stop, breathe, and examine how we are feeling at that moment. Often we are so busy with our work that we forget to come back to centre. What is 'coming back to centre?' It means finding that ...
