I was reminded, after this weekend, that it's good to have people in your life. It takes a lot to build and nurture friendships/relationships but they're definitely worth it.Dear God, thank you for my peoples...and my Nellie.

It was a weekend full of nice surprises, italiano, cupcakes, never ending candles, comfy beds, night walks, Ching's wonderful vocab, blueberry beer, seafood, and U2!(birthday girl #1 & #2)(floating blueberries @ Boston Beer Works)(Gillette Stadium)

Hitched a ride to Montreal to run-away for the weekend and take in some of the Montreal Jazz Festival. It was also my first time experiencing Montreal without snow. The other times I've gone were in the winter so this was a real treat for me. I was sad I missed out on Stevie, (I've seen him in concert but would def pay to see him again and again and again and again etc.) but got to see Dave

I certainly get it because I am most certainly NOT immune to the pressures in striving to look a certain way and conform to our society's definition of 'attractive'.Yesterday, while at dinner, I got up from the table to use the bathroom. While heading over there, another woman was a few steps ahead of me and she walked in first. I followed and went into a stall while she was already in one.Anyway

I think that every single person should spend at least a weekend out in nature once a year. And I don't mean spending it in a fully furnished cabin with television, internet, a working kitchen, beds and all those other luxuries that you find in a house cottage. But rather, sleeping on the hard ground in a tent, cooking your own food, boiling your own water to wash your dishes, looking out for

Went downtown on saturday afternoon to take part in Luminato's 'Great Canadian Tune' challenge, which was to break the world record for the number of people playing their guitars together. I was so sure that we would surpass the number (set in 2007 in Germany) but SADLY, it did not happen. BOO.

 It appeared so quickly and stayed only a few minutes.  For those who were able to catch it, it was just enough time to enjoy it.  I knew to look out for rainbows after storms that move in and move out quickly because someone taught me how rainbows were made.Sometimes there are real and true things that happen around us and in our lives but appear so subtly and so quickly that we can miss out on

I think that it's definitely a tell tale sign of your age when the topic of discussion, with your peers, is gardening. I've got a friend who's commented on how therapeutic it feels when he's pulling out weeds in the rain. My parents are big green thumbs and within recent years, I've begun to appreciate all their years of work in building the garden in the backyard. Planting definitely

I know I shouldn't, but this is WAY too good to NOT share so, yes...it's on YT.Went to India Arie's concert last week and was blown away by her backup singers.Hear for yourself (improv off of 'God Is Real' from Voyage album):

If you know me well, you'll know that I discriminate against squirrels.  I actually, full-on, hate them.  But this comes from my experiences with them living in the walls of my apartment for 2 years while I was at Laurier.  5 Reasons why I hate squirrels:   Without fail, they scared the be-jeebers out of us (roommate and I), every time they used our living room window as a  platform to get up to

I'm going to sound like an informercial but for all those who suffer from sinus irritation due to seasonal allergies, colds blah, blah, blah...etc. This sinus rinse is THE best thing that could ever happen to you!!!  If anyone knows me, I always sound like I'm stuffed up.  "Are you sick?"; "You're sick again?!".  Truth be told, most of the time it's not that I'm sick but my sinuses are always

When I did my internship at Sunnybrook, I always heard of patients being tested for MRSA."so-and-so is MRSA positive and is in isolation"I'd ask, "am I able to still go in?"Response, "yes, but wear gloves and gown and mask"It was so common on the unit that I never thought twice about it and I was told that I wasn't likely to be at risk if I ever contracted it because of my age.But after reading

But it sure was more than enough for me.The Duomo was beautiful. (We weren't allowed to

7th stop: Firenze, Italy Place of stay: San Marco Hotel FlorenceMy first impression of Florence was not what I expected. I envisioned a quaint, local and authentic little city but instead, it was crowded and felt really touristy...it seemed like everyone around me was visiting from somewhere else. I also saw a more multi-cultural crowd while walking around. I found out later that in
