The importance of a Tribe
Empowering each other empowers ourselves “Who does she think she is?”, “What right does she have?”, “Who put her in charge?”. These are common sentences that I have heard over time when speaking with other women about other successful women. These comments need to change. They need to be replaced with “How can I become as confident?” and “Why is her success bothering me so much?”. I have a woman on the edge of my circle who seems to never be happy about other women’s success. She often questions why someone is making the choices they are, why someone like myself has any gaunt to try something new, to be…

Camping with teenagers…
Who knew we needed more chill time The kids said yesterday they needed more chill time. More of doing nothing. Let me break down our day for you. We went on a jaunt on our boat, sitting. We took a stroll along the beach, hunting for beach glass and cool stones, strolling pace. We had dinner with friends at a park, sitting. Other than some drive time and two trips to Timmies for them, I felt the day was pretty chill. My chill and their chill clearly do not have the same meaning. On a side note, I felt sad that all the teenagers just sat there, eating pizza, quietly.…

Our Maiden Voyage
This story ends with my Birkenstocks covered in black tank water. The lesson learned at that moment will never be forgotten! Always close the valve before removing the hose! Our maiden voyage with our new to us rpod went pretty well otherwise! We have a seasonal site, which is not what we bought our lite weight camper for, but in the current state of COVID 19, we felt that was the best decision for us this year. We are about two and a half hours from home, so we feel that we are “going away” when we head up there. The jeep pulled it perfectly, which is good because we…

Day 55, It's been a while
I don’t know about you, but my mind has been racing with ideas lately. I have started dreaming and writing down a few business ideas, I have begun another course, and I have been doing some transformations around the house since we will not be travelling for what I feel is a while. Finally spending money on doors and floors! If you follow me, you know that I would rather spend our money on travel than house items. I do hope that we are able to travel within the borders of Canada this year and that a week-long jaunt to the East Coast can happen! BUT that is all to…

Connections
Today was a pretty normal day. Coffee, yoga, some computer work. And then two things happened. One was a sexual comment via a social media message which triggered some pretty strong feelings. This was the first time for me, and I went into total mom mode. Once I was finished telling this man that his comment was rude and inappropriate, he apologized. I don’t understand the power people “believe” they will feel making these comments to people. I say believe because it should not be power at all, but a demonstration of their poor character. I understand why some women embrace the attention of that kind, that loneliness brings a…
