On the seventh day… POWER. Grateful for the moderate weather over the last week - not too hot and not too cold. I dare say, a bit goldilocks. Thank you for the relentless efforts of Ottawa Hydro (and Hydro One) workers who put the grid back together. May you get some rest soon.

Morning Inspirational/motivational/Spiritual/Affirmational shuffle. Happy Friday, eh! I am committed to bringing forward my greatness. I will no longer play small.

I’m thinking of the generations who fought for the right to choose in the US & those who will live with the consequences of this decision. In Canada the right to choose is protected by the Charter. We must fight for the right to choose. Always.

It’s a backyard - (near) beer and bikini- kinda afternoon… cheers to summer. (Partake: Radler, Cherry Gose, Hazy IPA)

Weeding my garden (I know - don’t fall out of your chair, the garden was here)… pulled a big green leaf and proceeded to shout when I came across this creature. Not moving. Not hopping away.

Set a goal & think. done it before, do it again. Then, realize you can do it only by showing up to do it. When you think you start to doubt, think again. That which is daunting is doable. Tie your laces. Show up. Get it done . Do it again. 18 km training run #runningreflections
