If you follow me on FaceBook, you've seen the saga I went through a few weeks ago - it took me about 24 hours longer to get from Winnipeg to San Antonio, TX, than intended. Blizzards, maintenance issues and everything the Universe could throw at me conspired to keep me from getting there on Thursday … Continue reading Discovering My Mission

An Invitation!
Don't take my word for it ... If you are local to me, come meet Dr. Rosenberg and others who have benefited from using this system. What have you got to lose, except some fatigue and maybe a few pounds?? #comevisit #somuchfun #noobligation
I Survived Passover!
It's that time of year again! Once again, Passover has gone through my house and my life like a whirlwind, and now it is gone. Last year I wrote for the first time about the effects of eight days of living on matzah, with eggs, cheese and fish as my prime protein sources. I probably … Continue reading I Survived Passover!
Dealing with Emotional Eating
If you are anything like me, you turn to food in times of joy, sorrow, boredom, fatigue, anger, or pretty much any time you feel like you need something to change how you feel. Some of this is cultural – every holiday has its own traditional foods, and we wouldn’t want to have it any … Continue reading Dealing with Emotional Eating
Gun Control #3: What I’ve Learned
Here's what I learned about Gun Control in the last couple of weeks. 1. If you aren't careful with your form while doing a hang clean, and you are well-endowed in the chest area, you will end up with bruises in delicate places. 2. If you stay up too late and find yourself making kid … Continue reading Gun Control #3: What I’ve Learned
I’m famous!
Well, kind of. My friend Bernie Bellan, publisher of the Jewish Post & News, was kind enough to run a story about me in this local Jewish paper. Since the paper's website is currently down, he very kindly gave me a PDF to share with you. Have fun! Click here to read the article!
Gun Control #2 – Getting Started
Welcome to the second day of Gun Control! Yesterday I took some measurements - my right bicep is currently 31.5 cm around. Yes, it's not a pretty picture. I also weigh 62.7 kg - that's almost 138 lbs, at 152 cm, or 5 foot nothing. Ouch. Work to be done. I've acquired a push-up app … Continue reading Gun Control #2 – Getting Started
Surviving the Bread of Affliction
Passover has been and gone. It's always been one of my favourite holidays, largely because of the amount of baking I do with my kids. But this year it's taken a twist that made it considerably harder than usual, and I'm still recovering. I've had at least one person say to me in the past, … Continue reading Surviving the Bread of Affliction
If I Told You …
So this was my Facebook status the other day. Deliberately provocative, as you can see, and as I hoped, I got lots of responses. I am blessed with the most generous, thoughtful, wonderful friends ever, and they gave me the gift of their gut response (which was almost unanimously "No", by the way). Then they … Continue reading If I Told You …
Review – Rivers Edge Resort
Last week my husband and I spent a couple of nights in this lovely cabin, which belongs to the hospitable and generous Joy and Scott Sutyla. If you're in a hurry and don't have time to read this whole review, we loved it, recommend it and would go back. Click on the picture to go … Continue reading Review – Rivers Edge Resort
