@maddielymburner the first three videos I have done have really kicked my butt! It’s awesome! And I love that your dog lays on the mat with you!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Nope! Not working

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

@fitbit your app is not working! It closes as soon as you touch it. I checked with friends it’s happening to them too!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Working now! Thanks!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

@fitbit I’m not sure what’s going on with your app but it won’t open. As soon as I touch it, it closes again. It’s happening to others too!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Just had a PD session and conversation with @DrJCarrington! A wonderful person! Very impactful! Thank you Jody! Thank you!

Waiting for Inn Echo to start at the PEI @SmallHalls! Love that live music is back!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

I don’t know how to feel right now! @GreysABC please, please let @EllenPompeo just be happy and let it be Ben! So happy to see @sarahdrew and @iJesseWilliams back together. Emotionally spent!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

@sarahdrew If I ever get the chance again, I absolutely will! Thanks!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Just saw @sarahdrew and Justin Breuning at the Ottawa Airport! Wanted to say hi but chickened out! Loved them on @GreysAnatomyHD!

I think I’m watching too much Guy’s Grocery Games. While getting ready for work, I noticed I had 30 minutes before I went out the door. I actually had the thought “30 minutes to shop, prepare and plate.” @GuyFieri

Congrats to my good friend @adamcdyoung on his @eastcoastmusic nomination for Roots/Traditional album of the year for his album yearbook! So very much deserved! So happy for you!

My book by @DrJCarrington came in today! I am so excited to dig in. I think it will be what I need to be a more effective leader for my staff; especially during these times.

My @fitbit just told me to go to bed for the first time ever. Maybe this week was busier than it felt lol

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

@gmbutts @jodilhbutts I was playing the fiddle there today!

It takes courage to perform on the world’s stage. It takes bravery and a strong sense of self to do what’s best for yourself with the world watching. @Simone_Biles you are showing the world that mental/self health should come before anything else and that makes you a champion.

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Omg @GiacomoKG!!!! I don’t know if my heart can take @GreysABC anymore! So, so sad!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Just finished @DrJCarrington’s “Kids These Days.” As a school administrator, it’s like she walked around in my brain, found all my questions and answered them. A must read for anyone who cares for children!

[Dara Smith-MacDonald @darathefiddler]

Half way through @DrJCarrington’s “Kids These Days.” Wow! A must read for all people who work with kids, have kids or love kids.
