First of all, October is my birthday month and that’s reason enough for me to love it. I’m celebrating 51 years on this earth– can you believe it? In fact, I will be off on an adventure with my husband Russ to mark this milestone when you read this. Follow along on Instagram…
My family and I have a Thanksgiving tradition. Everybody around the table takes a turn answering a question: “What am I grateful for? And why?” The “why”—as always—is so important. When you address that part of the question, you put your whole self into the answer. For example, if someone starts with, “I’m…
If there’s one thing my friend Tania and I can agree on, it’s the necessity of occasionally immersing ourselves in the pleasures of the Okanagan wine country.
