Home again

Thank you so much to all the amazing women I met - or reconnected to - this weekend. I haven't really processed all that I got out of the weekend other than a deep appreciation for the work that you all do. And, by saying so, I can also pat myself on the back for sticking with this day after day.

I appreciated the words of wisdom, the common ground we all walk upon, the different perspectives and experiences, the laughter that sometimes bordered on hilarity and sometimes on tears, the peace, the walks, and so much more.

Perhaps in a month or two, I'll have a greater sense of what it is that I really learned. For now, it was enough that I was just there, surrounded by a panel of parenting experts. You ladies rock - seriously!

Snow? Seriously?

We're less than a week to June and we have snow? Really? Let's just keep that stereotype of Canada being a land of ice and snow going strong! Last year at this time, we were already out on the boat, wakeboarding and having fun.

Good thing the hottub is turned on already! Down here in the valley, things are not white, but very green from all the rain. As I parked this morning at work, I had to wait for a duck to swim out of my parking spot. The puddles are that large!

Snow or rain, sun or not, we are going to have a wonderful time this weekend. One more sleep!!!

Happy Dance

Huge shout-out to Dianna whose magic grant-writing skills landed our retreat with a Victoria Foundation grant. I am so thrilled that I can offer some 'extras' for these moms who work so hard out of love and dedication. I have all sorts of ideas rolling around in my little mind. (picture me rubbing my hands together with delight)

Thanks Dianna!!!

One week left!

That's all - nothing else to say. See you next Friday!

Last-minute opening

Hello everyone,
I have a last-minute opening available. If you - or someone you know - needs a weekend like this, please let me know asap. We may be able to even help out a bit with the cost if that is an issue.

Bring your parka!

Every morning, I look towards Silver Star and hope that I won't see snow on "them thar hills." However, snow there is and unless global warming kicks in, we're likely to have at least some snow on the ground at the end of the month.

So, in addition to all the other things you're bringing, you might want to throw in a warm jacket and toque!

See you in a few weeks ~ snow or shine!
