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. 😍

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

Mother Nature always wins.

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

Elbows Up! What a beautiful, positive kick-ass rally to stand up for our sovereignty! 🇨🇦💪🏼♥️ #Canada #OhCanada #ElbowsUp #Never51 #StrongAndFree

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

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

Just a cool pic I took today on a little field-trip with my dad. It’s one of my favourite buildings in the world…and happens to be the largest log building in the world too! 🪵🔥🦫🫎 #ChateauMontebello #LogDesign #FieldTrip

There are over 30,000 species of flora and fauna in Ontario. Humans are just one of those. Let’s take a moment to ponder that…and our relative impact within that space. #Ontario #PonderThat #KnowYourImpact

I seem to be a dog person caught in a cat person’s world! 🐾 I mean, cats are fine, but this particular dog is my very special snow-loving sidekick! 💞 #FixingMyFeed #SnowDog #DogLove #CatsAreFine

Ottawa update: When the day is as tumultuous as today, a chilly-silly skate on our beautiful canal is a welcome distraction.
