Standing on my Soap Box

So, all around social media the middle of this past month was a campaign to bring awareness as to just how prevalent sexual assault really is.

I have, and let me tell you it sucks. You wait for the other “shoe” to drop, and you look around and there are quite a few “shoes” lying around.

First, I am going to give you a little bit of history. When I was in grade 9 (back in the 80s) I needed to sign up for Sr. High classes.

I wrote a blog a while ago about allowing yourself to be you. I recently read a book called Brave Body Method, by Eileen Wilder, as well as watched her videos.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to be like someone else? Seen someone who appeared to have everything all together?

Have you ever had life throw you a curve ball? As you know, I have, a time or two, and am in the midst of another one.

There is an old saying – Mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. I have been reading a book called Triathlon for every woman, you can be a triathlete. Yes, you – by Swim Bike Mom, Meredith Atwood.

As you have seen in my blog posts this past year, it has been a tough year for me and my family!

This will be a hard post to write! But considering the season, it might be fitting. My son came into my room a few months ago, his girlfriend wasn’t feeling great the week before – nauseous, flu like, ucky.

The second week in November, I was off to Calgary for an emergency trip. My Uncle was given just a very short time to live (48 hours) due to cancer.
