When faced with change, or the challenge of starting something new, doubts are bound to come to the surface. What if it doesn't work? What if I fail? What if circumstances in my life change? What if no one likes me? What if my mind goes blank in front of everyone? What if it isn't … Continue reading What If?
Hello again, my friends. It has been too long. Let me catch you up on all that has transpired over this last year. When we last spoke, I was making some changes to my life. If you are new to this site and you want to read more from that post, here is the link. I had decided to … Continue reading Back in the Saddle Again…
It has been a little while since my last posting. June 5th to be exact. Since then, spring melted into summer, and now summer is beginning (hopefully) to give way to autumn. (Autumn is certainly my favourite time of year, and I am more than ready to dig out the sweaters and steamy cups of spiced tea.) … Continue reading Seasons of Change
Last June I went to view the beauty of Cape Breton with some family and friends. I had wanted to go for several years, but the timing was just never right.

So I thought I would share a glimpse of what Christmas looks … Continue reading How To Have A Maritime Christmas
A few weekends ago I was nearing my day off and had it all planned out with a to-do list a mile long. I have 1 day per week that is free to use as a catch-up day - clean the house, do yard work, do a little extra cooking or meal prep for the week, … Continue reading Finding Time For Our “Someday” List
I wanted to share some of my thoughts during the past weekend as I celebrated Thanksgiving. It started with learning a little historical background of the holiday in my French class. The first recorded Thanksgiving on Canadian soil was given by Martin Frobisher in 1587 when he set foot on the shores of Newfoundland. There were several … Continue reading Having a Grateful Heart
Every September there is a hot air balloon festival in the town of Sussex, New Brunswick. The sky fills with a myriad of colours and shapes, like something out of a children's storybook. This year marked their 32nd year of hosting this event which draws a crowd from all different provinces and states in North … Continue reading Atlantic Balloon Fiesta
