Proud 🇨🇦grandmother, who loves her family and wants a peaceful, beautiful world, in which they can grow, prosper, and spread kindness, love and acceptance.
We all came together in Toronto for a special celebration and tribute. With my deepest regret I am making this post. We had no idea our Friday night dinner and the photo I posted was going to be the last time we were going to see Duane Ward. From celebration to sadness in a moment. May God rest your soul BlueJay brother and warrior on the mound. You will never be forgotten. Without your contribution there would be no BACK TO BACK. Life is short and we will never know when we will be called. Give someone a hug today and reach out to a loved one and tell them how much you love them. Prayers go out to the Ward family. RIP Brother, until we see you again.
This warmed my heart more than I realized it would. The World Cup is a magical time, bringing old and new fans together and we truly get to see the best of humanity and heart as well. Thank you, Norway ♥️♥️♥️
In 2025, Dame Helen Mirren, the Oscar-winning actress, continued to speak openly about aging and growing older.
At 80, she remained confident, candid, and completely comfortable with the passing of time.
She refused to treat growing older as something that needed to be hidden.
When asked about the secret to aging, her answer was strikingly simple.
"People ask me what the secret of aging is. There is no secret. You just do it. You get wrinkles. You age. But there's nothing wrong with it."
There was no complicated philosophy.
No miracle formula.
Just an honest reminder that aging is something every person experiences.
For years, Mirren has shared the same belief.
She sees getting older not as something to fear or resist, but as a natural part of life that belongs to everyone.
In another interview, she explained that idea even further.
"You have to embrace it and allow it to happen. It's the natural rolling on of life. It happens to every single person on the planet. It's just a part of being a human being."
Her words carried a quiet confidence.
They encouraged acceptance instead of fear, and gratitude instead of resistance.
Mirren has also challenged the common belief that age changes who a person truly is.
During one conversation, an interviewer described her as having a "young spirit."
Her response was immediate.
"My spirit is the age that I am."
For her, growing older is not a problem waiting to be solved.
It isn't a battle to fight or something to apologize for.
It is simply life continuing exactly as it should.
Wrinkles are not imperfections.
Changing appearances are not failures.
Age itself is not something to hide.
To Helen Mirren, they are all reminders of a life fully experienced and honestly lived.
Her message has remained steady through the years.
Meet aging with confidence.
Accept it with honesty.
Carry it with pride.
Because growing older isn't losing something—it is the privilege of continuing to live.
HE SAID NO TO MILLIONS. 💰🚫 The legacy of Thor Vikström. For 50 years, developers hounded this 93-year-old Quebecer with massive offers to buy his 7-acre island, ile Ronde. They wanted luxury high-rises and bridges. 🏗️
Thor's response? He donated the entire island for FREE to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. 💚
Why? Because the island is home to the rare Northern Map Turtle and ancient Shagbark Hickory trees.🌳 🐢
Quote: "Nature was more important than some stupid money in my pocket." 🇨🇦
Let's thank Thor for having protected one of Canada's "natural jewels" for our grandkids! ��

How awesome is this. Sid’s out for a month. And here he is at the Penguins youth clinic. Volunteering his time. Taping a kid’s stick. What a class act. Best hockey ambassador there is.
