If you love animals (especially dogs), nature, diversity, humor, travel, democracy (but don’t obsess over politics) and health / wellness (not necessarily in that order) and are lgbtq+ or an ally, then say hi- we should probably follow each other 👋🏻

With so much anxiety-inducing news nearly inescapable these days, I continue to work on ways to live less reactively and intensely, to living more calmly, and open to whatever comes along. Two of my favorite phrases are “this too” and “for now”.

Given the intensity of current world events, I’ve started a new, drug-free mental health coping strategy which is proving quite effective: watching video clips of talking animals and public fart pranks (it’s the reactions that crack me up). 😂🤣 Enjoy!

Canada will always stand with Ukraine, and I’m glad our PM is representing us in person at these critical talks.

Whether or not the U.S. “guarantees” are worth anything, assuming Putin hasn’t already traded Venezuela for Ukraine remains to be seen.

With his latest assault on the rule of international law, global #tariff blackmail, and #military threats almost daily now, this epic Churchill quote comes to mind for all who think they can reason with a madman.

So America, this is what 70-odd million of you voted for?

I doubt that the email lady or the smart brown lady would have done half the sh!t your guy has done.

Right on queue, all the alleged #health and #fitness “experts” are coming out of the woodwork 🙄

As part of my daily lifestyle I try to eat well (higher protein, lower carb, good fats, limited processed foods), exercise, get consistent sleep + naps, drink / treats in moderation, and meditate. ✌🏻❤️

To all our lovely American family, friends and neighbours (yes that’s correct spelling) who voted for the smart brown lady, we wish you a new year filled with good trouble, raised voices, and votes cast to reclaim your nation and your democracy. ✊🏻

(To the rest of you, gfy all the way off.)

Some inspiring words from the late, great Maya Angelou to start the new year. ✨
l've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. l've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. l've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. l've learned that even when I have pains, don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. l've learned that I still have a lot to learn. l've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

We all have our own individual challenges. I’m sharing some of my learnings to hopefully inspire even one person as they navigate their own journey. Regardless of our circumstances, there are things we can draw upon to deal with challenges and adversity, especially in our darkest hours.

An inclusive, respectful, skillful, likable and realistic PM. That is who Mark Carney is, and I’m so proud and grateful that millions of my fellow Canadians and I voted him in as our prime minister.

Let’s build #CanadaStrong !

We have so much opportunity in Canada — to create better jobs and a more independent economy, and build better futures for our grandchildren.

I sat down with Global News last week to talk about how we're going to seize those opportunities and build Canada strong.
