Dear High School Student, So, you don’t know what’s next because all you can see is now. All you can see is the boy who doesn’t seem to see you at all. The girl whose body is a bit more toned than yours. The essay that you got a 60 on. The early mornings that …
This weekend, I had the honour of being a bridesmaid to such a beautiful and inspiring woman in my life, Emily. Here is the speech I gave at the reception: I first met Emily when I was this awkward grade nine and she was in grade twelve, in school choir. To me, Em was the …
As I was trying to decide if I wanted to blog today, I became aware of a song on my heart about the man whole stole it over two years ago, and wanted to take the opportunity to tell you about some of the things that make this man so amazing. He is so selfless. From …

Today is my 20th birthday. In many ways, it seems surreal that I’m a 20 year old woman. It seems only yesterday that I was a 7 year old who feels that 20 is miles away. In many ways, I feel much older. That I’ve lived through 5 lives, experienced a lot, and learned so …
I’m all about flavour in food. In fact, one of the things I am most passionate about is the very plethora of incredible spices and flavours God created from the beginning that can be used in food and also that are proven to heal. Many of these favourite spices and flavour combos are included in …
