❤️my hubby, my dog (any dog!), Edmonton Oilers, and learning to love gardening! 🌱
Be Kind. Give credit where it is deserved. Do things right or don’t bother. Embrace your weird. Despise cancer. My views and rambles are my own alone.

If you follow me and I follow back, followed by you unfollowing me as you only followed me, and others, to elicit follows and boost your follows count…
Guess my next move 😉
*I am preferring truer connections and interactions under the Blue Sky - those I’d feel open to have coffee or a meal with.

Of the “firsts” experienced so far these past few months, today was expected to be one of the toughest.
Wherever you may be mom… you’re never far from my thoughts. And you continue to guide and inspire from afar. ✨🤍

All of us @EdmontonOilers fans will never forget the love, class and generosity demonstrated by your club and community last year - how meaningful the song ‘La Bamba’ is for our city and our team.
We are cheering for you! 🎉🙌🏻🏒🥅

Mom’s smile would have been extra big today, an extra bounce in her step, because it’s Game 1 of playoffs and the Oilers are back in it.
She would have emailed her sister / my aunt, a devout Leafs fan, about it too.
Aunt J… McDavid > Matthews. Always.

Feel like I’m DJ’ing at the club…
Working on two laptops at the same time. Listening to Darude.
Damn I’m old. 🤣

I made a decision last month to spend less time on social media - and it has been easier than expected.

Happy Friday! Happy Day too for anyone whose work week isn’t “typical”!
Be kind and be safe in your travels.

A Message to Alberta Mental Health and Addictions Minister Dan Williams:
A young woman with Schizophrenia was discharged to the streets—again. Her family can't keep her safe. Your system is failing, and you know it. When will you actually do something?

Going to doctor, tired of being tired. No idea if it’s grief, stress, menopause, combination…
I’m exhausted throughout the day, so I try to keep a nighttime routine… going to bed early if needed. But then I’m up between 1-3am, wide awake. No reason.
Stupid cortisol.

Organizations hire me when their operations are on fire with problems and root causes or solutions are unclear.
It may involve systems, financials, supply chain, HR, or a combination of things…
Yet the biggest challenge I routinely face: ego and bias.
People are so weird. 🤣

And it sucks lol

Ughhhhh. Woke up Thursday with a massive headache and had a hunch I was going to get sick.
Head still pounding, woke up with nose stuffed, feel like I was run over and slammed against the wall.

Took a few days away from social media, needed to focus on heading back to work with clear headspace.

Mom’s at home 🤍
Picking up her ashes was harder than expected. I was unprepared for:
-Being handed a box with her name on it and signing for it
-The physical weight of the box
-The mental weight of the box as it sat on my lap driving home
The reality of it all has sunk in.

Does everyone’s family erupt into drama when a key family member dies?
Today marks 1 week since mom left us.
7 days. And in that time, a ton of self-serving garbage behaviour surfaced across my immediate and extended family that I’ve had to mediate. 🤢
Grieving is hard enough.

We left our house decorated for Christmas to keep our spirits up. After losing mom last week, the thought of taking it all down now rips a whole new level of hurt through me.
I wrote mom’s obit today, it made me smile to think of how wonderful she was to family and friends. 🤍

As we return to work this week, please remember:
Not everyone had a good holidays. Some lost loved ones or have been sick. (Ex: my cat died 💔🥺)
Don't come to work sick. Just don't.
Not all work calls need to be on camera.
That "giving 100%" varies wildly, & might look different each day. 💙
