House of Card | A review of “Thirsty Land into Springs of Water” by Brooke Kathleen Brassard | Literary Review of Canada Michael Ledger-Lomas reviews “Thirsty Land into Springs of Water” by Brooke Kathleen Brassard, a book on Mormon settlement in Canada.

"Yet Brassard’s sober narrative is nonetheless an absorbing one, reminding us of the relative ease with which even the most fervent believers have been able to negotiate a place in our capacious nation."

Thankful for engagement with the work!

I received author copies today, and my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the blurbs on the back. I honestly had no idea but wow I am so thrilled to discover two academic heroes found value in my work. Wow.

Beach reads are so over!

Get 50% off my book "Thirsty Land into Springs of Water: Negotiating a Place in Canada as Latter-day Saints" with code SUMMERSALE50. The perfect page-turner to transition back to fall "serious reading." 🤣

The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: 

The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated.  The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words.  These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations.

The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past

Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation.  We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project.

All collections are of equal importance.  Every letter, photograph, or other artifact has an important story to tell.

The collections and their contents are not edited or censored.  Our role as historians is not to judge the past in light of the present, but to present everything in its entirety at the time of its creation.

a woman says i can 't think of while sitting at a table ALT: a woman says i can 't think of while sitting at a table

2 store visits, 6 phone calls later, I have a new cell phone coming in a week, a new "better" monthly plan, and I am fully traumatized by our cell phone companies. Why is Canada like this.

Had a great time at the 2025 CACE Ontario Regional Meeting! Fantastic discussions on enrollment, social media strategy, media coverage, cybersecurity, and AI—always great to learn and connect with fellow school communicators.

I looked into purchasing one! Not there yet, but definitely a possibility if I actually stick with it. Right now, I love the classes because I'm such a beginner. The instructors are so great.

💪 15 classes in, and I’m officially hooked on reformer Pilates! For the first time ever, exercise is a priority, and I'm up to 3–4 classes a week. Good thing it only took me 38 years to find a physical activity (other than walking!) I enjoy.

It had been bad for a few years leading up to my exodus but this feels like nails in the coffin now. 😔
