Thanks to all the mothers who give so much of themselves to their families. I hope that your giving is recognized and appreciated today! And, much love to our mothers who have passed. ❤

This week is mental health week. Loneliness is a growing contributor for poor mental health. This year the Canadian Mental Health Association is promoting increased social connection and building community to foster good mental health! What small daily actions can you do to build social bonds?

Happy International Women's Day! I love the motto this year, GIVE TO GAIN with generosity, collaboration, and the power of reciprocity and support to help women rise. Giving respect, knowledge, opportunities, equal pay, protection, credit, mentoring and so much more. For all women to thrive, those in privileged positions must be willing to give up their privilege and power.

Happy Social Work week and month to all social workers out there! I am proud to be a social worker, psychotherapist! And, I hope you are too. This year's the theme celebrates trust, expertise and humanity social workers bring to every community and the difference they make when care and insight come together. ❤

Hope you take the opportunity to celebrate the love in your life, no matter what form. Remember what you focus on grows! 🥰

May this Holiday Season bring you whatever experience you most need whether that is joy, laughter, connection, peace, harmony, relaxation or quiet and wishing you a New Year that is great from start to finish! 🎉🥰

Honouring and remembering all those in the armed forces who sacrificed their lives serving Canada and who continue to serve. 🙏

Wishing everyone many blessings this Thanksgiving weekend! 🙏🍂😊

I first learned about residential schools when I took an Indigenous/First Nations Course in University in the late 90s. I was horrified by the actions of our country and government ripping Indigenous children from their families and communities, forcing them into these schools and committing genocide. The cost also included generational trauma that continues. If you are not educated about residential schools, I urge to you educate yourselves as a first step of political action. We still have a long way to go when it comes to Truth and Reconciliation.

Wishing all Canadians a Happy Canada Day!
