Yesterday’s workshop at Chester Art Centre with Kate Inglis gave me lots of food for thought regarding self-portraiture as a means of meditating on particular emotions, and on photography & storytelling. Here I am trying to capture my reflection on motherhood and what it means to me. I think I started getting the process of [...]  Growing up, a forces’ kid, things never stayed the same for long. It was so for my parents too, each air force kids, and then mom becoming a mountie’s wife. Mom knew the life of change, and embraced the adventure we were on. We knew no other way, and thanks to mom, we accepted it [...] Help spread the word to moms & moms to be and win a free class ($80 value) for yourself or a give it as a gift! *Class Gift Certificate is eligible for Mommy Connections Halifax locations only.* As a bonus, when @MommyConnectHal reaches 300 followers and our Facebook page reaches 300 likes a [...] Since recently losing my mom to cancer, the isolation that can accompany being a mom is all the more poignant to me.

I will be on the course of the 2012 Blue Nose Marathon (Local). This is [...] The grieving process has so many aspects to it. We grieve the loss of our loved one. We grieve the loss of our future as we envisioned it. We grieve the loss of our daily normal life as we knew it. For those of us directly effected by that normal daily life it can [...] (Click for Part 1) Sunday morning was upon us. I have not been training due to my chronic pain. B has not been training because she’s simply a really busy kid. I’m confident we’ll be fine, we have no time goals, we’re just going to have fun. Auntie Dana arrives in time to head out [...] It’s amazing what one can bring themselves to do when it involves a cause one believes in passionately. I have run for Team Diabetes twice before.
