Executive Director of The Do More Agriculture Foundation championing mental health in agriculture. Farmer, author, historian, researcher in Saskatchewan. Writing, reading, gardening, baking, kayaking, parenting and watching the sky.
Close to one year in my role as ED of The Do More Agriculture Foundation here is Canada. What I know is this: how we tell a story matters. And I bring storytelling to every community where I get to facilitate our signature workshop Talk Ask Listen.

So proud. I was in Ottawa to accept the CAMIMH 2025 Champion award for community organization on behalf of The Do More Agriculture Foundation. I should have recorded my speech so I can remember what I said!

Aurora borealis bookmarks. So much fun.
I’m thoroughly enjoying learning (slowly, painfully) how to use watercolours. I’ve been making bookmarks and I use them as gifts. It’s a satisfying way to practice creativity. It’s the process, not the outcome.

My latest #MassiePanoramicFarm project: a #WindPhone . Wind phones are ways to make the phone call you need to make, with someone who has passed, a call you wish you had made, or even a call to the future. #TelephoneOfTheWind

I gave a presentation on mental health and how we can each ‘do more’ at the recent SaskEgg convention. This week a man in that audience reached out to tell me that I’d touched his heart. We had a lovely chat. ❤️

A freak spring storm moved through north of Saskatoon today. 0/10 do not recommend trying to find the road. So many were in the ditch. We were coming back from a funeral in Prince Albert and it was a total shock. #springstorm

Cinder needs love. She had emergency surgery yesterday to remove two cancerous growths from her ear. She is not barking right now because it hurts. Love is requested.
