I practised mindfulness for April, somewhat unsuccessfully. It seems I didn’t even manage to make a blog post indicating that was my challenge for the month.
This month my challenge will be to unplug by 9pm everyday.
My hubby will be very happy to hear this one.
Hopefully it will help me get my sleep [...]
For a mom, there is no shame in getting away from your family and day-to-day obligations once in a while. They just might need a break from you too. It’s been a long time since I found the opportunity to do so. Last time I tried, didn’t work out as intended.
Everyone gets a [...]
Today was Day 1, Month 2 of the 12in12 challenge. February is make and share one photo-a-day. I just finished a month of walking daily, and so today’s photo is of my wet walking boots drying by the fire.

Another Momstaxi service day and therefore a day in which I need to multi-task, so I head out with girlies, camera bag, laptop bag and purse. Once they are safely delivered to the dance studio I head out for a walk, promptly, forgetting my camera bag in the car. So the photo walk will have [...]
This weekend was a real mixed bag, so to speak. Much like with the Nova Scotia weather and its frequent changes there were just so many different emotions flying around that I think my system has gone into overdrive or perhaps is actually beginning to force some sort of a shut down.
It went from [...]
Sometimes you just do what it takes to make things happen. If your commitments are important enough to you, you realize that it is all about choices, taking control of you life in whatever small way necessary and making it work.
Yesterday I had two medical appointments and obligations to fill as Moms Taxi, in [...]
One thing I have learned over the years is that there is usually greater success in making change, for myself and/or for the greater good, when accountable.
Publishing my plans, commitments, goals and inspirations helps keep me on track, especially if I publish regular reports of my progress. It’s the times that I have nothing [...]

About me My name is Trish. Blogging for Change... inspiring you to make change: in your own life and for social good.
I am interested in the pursuit of bettering our lives. I like to write about issues & activities of interest to me, sometimes doing advocacy work, sometimes to express myself personally. I also post samples of my amateur photography.
My two beautiful school-aged girlies and I live in Nova Scotia since July of 2006, after having moved around Canada. I am the Director of Mommy Connetions Halifax. I have a broad range of interests, but some of the things you’ll see me post about include: diabetes; cancer; early learning & care, family, and women; scrapbooking; reading; running; social justice; parenting; and life balance…
I am currently a registered Social Worker Candidate, previously an early childhood educator, child care centre director, and interim director of two not-for-profit agencies.
