I called out #ableism today & received an apology for the "discomfort" caused. "Discomfort" is having to choose between remaining quiet (& implicit) or #advocating for others while incurring personal/professional risk.

It's #pridemonth! I hope you'll support #lgbtqia2s artists & businesses like this children's book that was also written for adults - #tinycanhelp.

Love this book's message: You don't have to be helpful to be #worthy of #love. And do things that make your life meaningful.

Thank you so much to @PaintCabin and @BrainInjuryTO for an amazing paint night!!! This painting class was the perfect forum for practicing #mindfulness, #creativity, and, perhaps most importantly, #acceptance of imperfections. These are our "cabin borealis" #paintings

I'll be taking an extra moment of silence this #RemembranceDay & all future Remembrance Days to honour the #Indigenous, Black and other POC soldiers that fought and sacrificed and still faced injustice.

In honour of #BrainInjury Awareness Month, here's a fun, mindfulness colouring sheet for you to enjoy. Did you know that colouring is great for the brain and is said to improve focus and reduce stress? Give it a try and see the many benefits for yourself.

Gaining 48 pounds isn't going to stop me from enjoying activities or wearing the clothes I like. Loving my new #bikini, too!
