Irish & Mennonite heritage, living in so-called Canada, The Bay of Fundy, the unceded lands of Mi’kmaq and Maliseet Peoples (Peace and Friendship Treaties). Tantramar Watershed, Chignecto Isthmus 🌊 originally from west coast 🍁🩵interested in many topics …
A celebration of the eleventh month. Some people and businesses bring out holiday decor (like the red plaid pillows at our local bakery cafe and an apfel kuchen with almond milk latte). It's chilly, dreary and joyful all at the same time. Novembre. Might try and make some version of those bookmarks❄️

Channeling my inner Ms.Rachel with a knotted headband. Adore the dress and really hope people continue to exemplify empathy as an important feature of the news cycle 🫶🏻✨💚🕊️

Not all snacks are equal and the Stranger Things Doritos really hit the spot for this xennial 👻☮️ Also a cool cinnamon craft iykyk and some chakra and science infographics. Snagged a kid's book about chakras in clearance at winners. My kid said are those real ? I responded ... some people think so...

Didn't realize that I need more youth sized orange shirts. Will be gathering some for next year's orange shirt day and also because as the story implies, Orange is a great colour 🧡 Emma Goldman comes to mind with that image if NG and the science of dance !

My collection of images oft has a focus on empathy driven parenting🌟 Went to a very fun Corn maze and fall party at The Green Pig in Salisbury NB. So happy to see this business rebuild after a fire 🙌🏼🥰

A beautiful vacation day morning with my baby! We read two indigenous author/artist board books from the public library. Alan Syliboy will be here for www.sappyfest.com and I 💚 www.royhenryvickers.com having visited his gorgeous gallery in Tofino, BC and spent my own childhood in Northern BC.

📝 of love and beauty in my last week: May the 4th celebrated in Heathrow Airport & at upper Sackville united church, a superb podcast, even though I rarely dig premade store bought soups, this brand really made my soul happy aaaah (apparently using imperfect produce and other goodly Ambitions).

I was part of a study group on non-violent communication at a yoga studio locally about 11 years ago. It was a brief time of community and we all read the book from different viewpoints. I refer back to the principles often and really think the whole book and many other resources on nvc are worthy❤️

A few tidbits that made me feel held in honest reflection and humanity ☮️

Didn’t realize I had company in my fixation on the ideal multiple drink combo. Especially when not at home 🍵🧃🚰

I’m usually accompanied by coffee (hot), herbal tea (any temp will do unsweetened so covering hydration and comfort) and then a water or juice for refreshment and palate cleansing 🫠

I will remain positive and aware. We’re hearing a lot about humility and cooperation between parties. Canada 🇨🇦 has an imperative to work with Indigenous communities and respect provincial, federal and municipal governments. My hygge was enhanced by reading Tasha Bailey’s Real Talk today, Saturday.

🌎🍃🌲From a quick trip to an advance polling station on Easter 🐣 Weekend. Also thrown in the mix Earth day vibes and approaching my six month mark on stopping a mild cigarette 🚬 habit with the aid of many affirmations and journal notes! Soon we will celebrate May the 4th 💚

Well said and thanks for the newsletter.

Key takeaway from the video I watched:

I found this article a fun read. Spoiled by two great Canadian roasted bags of beans in my kitchen right now. Own a good burr grinder and pine for the my years of loving an elegant chemex, before I dropped it 😖

A pour-over or drip machine work for the brew!

An excellent sign at the recreation centre we went swimming at, Britannia in Vancouver ❤️

For the love 💕 of Science World… we visited four different times during our March trip to Vancouver BC if you count a visit just to the free picturesque playground on the water just outside! Discovered new surprises every visit. 🔬
