It was a jammed packed weekend with back-to-back charity events and a little work in between. The Snowsuit Fund will distribute over 17,000 new snowsuits to children in our community this winter and our gala is a major fundraiser. As a board member and past chair, I always look forward to hosting this event. While this newsletter is making its way into …
New Video Content, Candy Wrappers & Podcasts With Purpose!
Sooooo, how many Halloween candy wrappers have you found hidden between couch cushions, underneath pillows and in the bathroom trash cans?

Making Movement Matter – A Follow up With Epic Fitness Plus IV Therapy & More!
I had a tough time getting to sleep last night. A house, two doors down on my street caught fire just before dinner.

The Countdown Begins, The Podcasts Pile Up & The Daily Grind Is Real! Happy Monday!
I’m thinking I’m not alone: My hips and lower back are killing me – I decided to toss the chair and stand for my “computer” time this week at the kitchen island.

Tornado Whirlwind: From Lack Of Power To Power Lunches & Everything In Between
I’m currently writing this newsletter in a pitch-black house with a small flashlight resting on the table for light. The tornado that hit Ottawa this past Friday has affected our city and its residents in a way we never expected. We are going on night number three without power. It’s been an inconvenience to say the least, but I have …
All Aboard!!! Pathways To Preventative Health!
What a whirlwind weekend! I spent it walking the floor of a trade show meeting people, learning about their products and finalising deals. I attended the Canadian Health Food Associations show at the Metro Convention Center in Toronto and was completely overwhelmed by the size of the show and the amount of companies and products involved in the Health and Wellness industry. …
