Sometimes it’s good to remember that despite the news, and stress and wackiness in the world…the sun always rises and a new day of possibilities begins. This is my view this morning. 😍

To be fair, this might be where my love of circular economy and up cycling started!

These two have been trying to make me fashionable for 50 years! Beautiful clothes, couture coaching; they even gave me a job in the 80s! 🙃 Alas, I’m still a silly-stylenator, but filled to the top with both Courage and Love! Happy 50th Birthday Courage My Love! 🎉 💞 #CourageMyLove #Family #Toronto

Sometimes you’re just wandering along and POOF! There’s an artichoke growing in a museum’s garden! 🤩 I just love that. #Garden #Artichoke #NatureIsAmazing

Such a great talk this evening!

Big thanks to @nondriver.bsky.social for making the trek to Ottawa, Canada to share her thoughts and passion (and book) about a world where transportation planning includes those who don’t or can’t drive. So many stories in the room. So many ways we could do better. 🚌 💞 🚲 #Ottawa #transportation

I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting Poilievre negotiate on my behalf a craft sale…I really can’t imagine him representing our whole beautiful country! #Canada #Vote #YourVoteMatters #ElectionThoughts

My heart is so sad for all the beautiful spaces in the US National Parks that have just lost their loyal caretakers. The dynamic duo of dysfunction and destruction never cease to dismay me, but the power of protest gives me hope. #StandUp #SpeakUp #WeCantGiveUp

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.

I grew up in a family that hunted, grew our own vegetables, kept bees and made maple syrup. I often joke that I’d be a great pal when the zombie apocalypse comes, but now I’m just thinking these might be good skills to deal with the aftermath of Trump f*ckery. 🇨🇦♥️🦫 #OhCanada #LifeSkills #1870sChic

I am 53 years in with zero Superbowlzes watched!I’m here to say, not only is it possible, it’s pretty darn great! No lines anywhere, I don’t have to share my snacks and since I really don’t care who wins, I just cheers my dog, my life, my pals and my tomorrows! 😋

I have just downloaded the most important US EPA reports I use for my work. It would be a detriment to so many environmental organizations to have this valuable research and data become unavailable. We have to work together to get our planet back on track. 🌎 I truly hope I’ve just wasted my time…

Folks don’t like bullies, uncertainty or stupidity. I think Trump just shifted Canadian buying patterns for a good long while. 🇨🇦❤️‍🩹🦫 I know I’ll continue to buy from local (or kind) producers whenever possible! Will you? #BuyLocal #BuyKind #BuyCanadian #BuyLess
