A girl is crouching and blowing bubbles. A black, tan and white dog with a red harness is catching the bubbles. There is one in his mouth. They are on a deck with a railing around it and a BBQ is behind them.

Timeline cleanse. Nine years ago I captured this moment when Jackson was catching the bubbles my youngest was blowing. It’s still one of my favourite photos of them. #dogsofbluesky

I’m one of the people who can’t get immunity to measles or chicken pox even after having had it or having been vaccinated. We rely on herd immunity to lessen our risk. The most baffling overlap is the one between pro-life and anti-vaxx!

There’s a first for everything!

Thank you 🤍
We have lots of mental health stuff in our family. I understand his choice and I never want to minimize how dark things were for him. We just miss him.

Such a great hike. A few thigh burners but the views are amazing

Today would have been my brother Ty’s 40th birthday. I hate that he’s not here to celebrate all that life can be. After another mental health crisis in a loved one this week, I’m very aware of how precious life is, and that we’re not promised another day with anyone. Hug your people today.

Same! Little early bursts of spring while we wait for the rest to emerge.

A cluster of white crocuses with green stems is surrounded by leaves on the ground. There is a rock closer to the camera. Behind the flowers is a white dog, with part of a darker dog behind her. A white car is in the distance.

Happy spring!

I know the pace I’m keeping is not sustainable. Three jobs to make ends meet. I went to superstore last week and was shocked at the prices. I’ve been going elsewhere for the last few years but needed a couple of things and I was nearby. I won’t be back. The prices are crazy!

On Sunday, April 12, our worship service will focus on Justice and Peace in the Holy Land.

A light Middle Eastern lunch will be served after the worship service. Before the service, there will be a sale of Palestinian goods (details on the second slide).

A friend of mine said, “Nothing cleans like company” and that is so apparent. I just discovered a dog toy and bully stick graveyard under the couch. Jackson is having a great day!

Thanks as always for including me in your amazing pride pack! 🏳️‍🌈

My cheese and crackers just isn’t that exciting now 😆

These singers have got some serious pipes! I’m looking forward to hearing the music on Sunday.

It’s International Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Today is Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day. Thanks to the Nova Scotia NDP for sharing this. We’re a better world for diversity and awareness.

Such a great team!

I had a gut thing. I’m still tired but I can keep food down. Nasty bugs going around. Hope you feel better soon!

Isn’t it? Kat who manages the Clayton Park store started as a customer. So did I. The best little shop with really great prices. I never understand why everyone doesn’t shop there!

Oh yay! I work there every second Saturday. Love that store!

Which is extra crazy when you’ve got two plans!

It’s nuts.

My friend Erin is an optician at the Dartmouth Crossing Costco. She’s amazing. Not long ago I lost one of the arms from my frames. She found another frame in a basket of extras and they fit my lenses. Popped them in and we were done. No extra charge. They’ve got my business!

I can’t get mine online. Complicated prescription and I need to have them properly fitted by an optician. Even buying them at Costco the purchase still hurt

The thing is that benefit hasn’t changed in about 30 years. Yes I’m dating myself. But the exams have gone way up and so has the cost of frames and lenses. $200 helped a lot more back in the day!

Be the kind of woman who straightens another woman’s crown when no one is watching.

No credit needed. No applause required. Just the quiet understanding that when one of us rises, we all rise.

Women supporting Women isn’t a slogan. It’s Strength, Sisterhood and Solidarity! 👑

A beautiful affirming service followed by pie. So much pie.
