  • Clouds

    Healthy Mindset – Weeks 16 & 17 It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for cloud photography in and around Regina. These pics are from about two weeks ago – standing in the middle of a gravel road marvelling at all the different cloud structures in every direction was nothing short of awe-inspiring. I’ve been…

  • The Wisdom of Trees

    Healthy Mindset – -Days 68-73 With so much to take in right now, I wanted to share a little bit of inspiration. One day when you wake, you will find that you have become a forest. You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. You have become stronger…

  • Summer in the City

    Healthy Mindset – Days 59-61 Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. Dalai Lama Over the next few months, the challenge is to find that someplace close to home! I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and never walked around Wascana Marsh until about a month ago. It’s a beautiful spot…

  • standing amongst the clouds

    Healthy Mindset – Days 50-52 I’ve been thinking a lot about Maui lately as somewhere I would like to go when it’s “safe” (I’m very tired of that word) to travel more widely again, and when I feel ready to get on a plane again (there will be some time in between the two). It…

    enough room for everyone

    Healthy Mindset – Days 44-46 The thing that has given me the greatest peace of mind through all of this has been going outside. From the beginning, I didn’t interpret “stay home” as having to stay inside. I took it to mean don’t go out unnecessarily (limit shopping to once a week and if the…

  • prairie crocus

    Healthy Mindset – Days 41-43 The top three subjects on my Saskatchewan-related photography list are crocuses, owls, and foxes. Finally, yesterday, I photographed some crocuses! They are a sure sign of spring, only bloom for a very short period of time, and difficult to find, usually only where natural prairie grassland still exists. As with…

  • Wildflowers in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Wildflowers in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Healthy Mindset – Day 32 One of my favourite days of the year is when I get dirt under my fingernails and plant my flowers. That’s still a few weeks off, but it was the first warm day here yesterday so I filled my pots with new soil, and figured what will go in each…

  • A Year Ago Today

    A Year Ago Today

    Healthy Mindset – Day 18 Last year, at this time, I was on a two week trip to Italy with a week in Florence and a week in Palermo, Sicily. It seems like such a long time ago now, but a year ago today, we took a day trip to Segesta where the Temple is…

  • Thoughts on Resilience

    Thoughts on Resilience

    “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lena Horne Healthy Mindset – Day 11 I’m an over-thinker. Are you? Do you also absorb information deeply and feel things deeply? Does it sometimes cause you to dwell on the worst possible outcomes? During times like this, I think it’s…

  • Healthy Mindset – Day 6

    Healthy Mindset – Day 6

    Let there be space in your togetherness Kahlil Gibran How has your week been? In some ways, it feels like things are settling into a sort of “sameness”. Since this started, I’ve been thinking that this period of time is a marathon, not a race. We have to ride this out, staying consistent in the…

  • Healthy Mindset – Day 2

    Healthy Mindset – Day 2

    Sunday was a beautiful day. When I was out for a walk, it felt like winter is finally behind us here in Saskatchewan. My boots got muddy, I saw geese returning to Wascana Lake, and I heard lots of different birds singing. All the normal signs of Spring. Being outside felt normal. Keeping some things…

  • Hello!

    Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard 2019 has been quite a year for me! It’s been abundant with growth and change and learning. And even though I wasn’t posting pics, I was still out taking them…here is one of my favourites from this year. This is…
