Anyone remember those days when the only way you knew how to tie friendship bracelets was if you were lucky enough to know someone who knew how? I haven't made one of these beauties since I was 8 and my goodness, I have been introduced to a whole new world of learning new ways to knot bracelets. Thank you You Tube!

Scouting out new places to camp yesterday and thank goodness we made it home just before the crazy storm hit! Please share some of your fave back country camping spots in Alberta! We love exploring new places and thanks to @ketomaritimer for rigging our trailer, we can off road that thing anywhere!!!

This is Fallen Timber Creek, off of Stud Creek Road.

Dreamy hand and body lotion crafted with shea butter and argan oil, infused with a soothing blend of eucalyptus and clove essential oils, and enhanced with aloe and rose water. Dang this smells absolutely delightful! I forgot how much I love concocting my very own skin care. The best part is I know exactly what is in it and get to choose the very best ingredients.

Succulents are my absolute fave! These beauties are basking in the sun outside. I may have to pinch a few and bring them inside ☀️ #succulents #lovethecolors #springinalberta

Things just got rather exciting....my automatic foaming pumps finally arrived AND they work with my foaming hand sanitizer from @tomplant25! My collection of approved disinfectants, hand sanitizer, masks and gloves in preparation to reopen is taking form. Now to hear from the College of Acupuncturists in Alberta to see what else may be required. Stage 2 of relaunch is still a month or so away but I figure I can try and be as prepared as possible.

This is what happens when you're an acupuncturist with no one to poke 🤣 Bring on some collagen production, smooth out those lines, and bring on serious radiance and much needed blood flow. Let's also see if I can dissolve those beautiful spots that graced me in my last pregnancy.

Happy mother's day to all you superheros! Being mom is one of those experiences that truly tests the strength, courage and love from the deepest places of our souls. Today, let's all take a moment to celebrate all those super powers we, as moms, have learned to master and continue to rise up to learn and acquire ❤

We all percieve situations differently and in turn responses to the given situation are always equally different.
The announcement of the relaunch strategy in Alberta, has given hope that many of us can reopen our businesses. I respect those who have opened today and also respect and adore the honesty of those who are not quite ready. Our community is truly based on trust and the respect of everyone within.
For me, I have no clear plan of reopening as of yet. Many a moon ago, I made a pledge to do no harm, and I don't take this responsibility lightly. I will open when I have confidence that I can provide service with the least amount of risk to not just clients but to me and my family.

These two handsome guys sporting new haircuts. Just one more talent to add to my list of things I would prefer NOT to master 🤣 Took me a whopping 3 hours from start to finish.

This is the life. My mom is home, I have no school, and I get to wear my pajamas all day! For some of us, this is a dream come true. Now if only Big Pig would read itself 🤣

I went to church last Sunday from the comfort of my couch with my arms wrapped around my son. I found great comfort in these words as my anxious thoughts wandered to consciousness. Our sense of safety and security lies far beyond our control. I will step back, breathe, and let my faith guide me into the future.

It's a muffin kind of day. These are a main staple in our home. Essentially just almond flour and eggs, I love this recipe as a base to make any flavor of muffins.

I have spent my entire life mastering the ability to multi task on levels that are probably not humanly achievable. I created a mind that automatically carries a trillion thoughts while I juggle a thousand tasks and I completely realize this robs me of living in the moment. Although the last few years I have attempted to take some of my own advice of practicing mindfulness, I am only human, and fully admit this practice of living in the 'moment' is nearly impossible. However, in the last weeks, I have seen a shift. The ability to just do dishes without thinking. To fold laundry with a blank mind. To go for bike rides and walks without the constraints of time or schedule. To pull out a game or project and engage in the activity without thoughts of what comes next. To eat a meal without rushing out the door to soccer or school events. To enjoy making lunch with enthusiasm rather than dreading the whole packing lunches. There is a beauty to mindfulness that brings clarity and calm. To listen to your breath and align oneself with the moment is rather rewarding. It is a work in progress, I haven't perfected the practice but for the moment, I am going to consciously make choices that strengthen this practice.

This century old beauty has a story and I would love to know more. The time has come to decide how to refinish her. Has anyone refinished a piano? Any thoughts on painting a piano? What I do know well is when she sings, her sound fills my soul and brings such joy. She came to me 10 years ago terribly beat up, marked with deep scratches and dings but it didn't bother me. When my fingers first graced the chipped ivory keys, I instantly fell in love with her and knew she would be cherished, respected and given the opportunity to showcase her unbelievable sound for years to come. This Canadian company made about 2000 pianos in the late 1800, mine is number 289. It doesn't seem to exist in the piano atlas of my last piano tuner which makes me even more curious about her origins. She is magnificent and just can't decide how to refinish her.

Game changer!!!! Costco was quite the adventure yesterday, I felt like I was waiting in line for a rollercoaster ride with the maze of pallets. 2 hours later, I did find these game changing gems, egg crepes by @crepini_healthywraps and they were absolutely delicious!!! Couldn't resist, threw together a super quick crepe stuffed with berries and coconut cream and topped with a splash of @lakanto maple syrup.

Dare I say that spring is beginning to make an appearance in good ol' Alberta? The sun is shining, the snow is melting and the days are getting longer. There have been many moments of reflection over the last month and some really good things have come to the surface. Uncertainty has brought forth clarity of the things that matter most and for this reason alone, I am deeply grateful.

Beginning each day with a mindset of curiosity, blooms thoughts of inspiration and adventure.

Despite all the uncertainty and isolation, there is a big part of me that is cherishing every moment.

I love what I do. I love the interactions I have in my practice. I love to help in any ways I can and always rise to the occasion to figure out a complex case. I get to celebrate successes and I also cry tears when things sometimes seem hopeless. But most of all, I have had the chance to meet some of the most amazing people along the way and I am so grateful. Thank you for such a beautiful and kind gift ❤

World Renowned Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease

Well said! Now that I've lived a keto life for just shy of a year, my body and mind no longer desire or long for sugar. Just some serious good fats for this cookie!

We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is…
