A Love Letter to the Summer of 2022

It feels like the last two years so many of us have been fighting unseen fights, lost in a world that feels as though it was coming to an end proverbially time and time again. And yes, while that journey continues, in some way today as I walked in the sunshine, I think it felt like the pressure was eased ever so slightly. Maybe it’s the beginning of something new here in Ottawa for me. Maybe it’s that Julio is finally here with me. Maybe it’s the fact that I feel more connected to Catherine and our true love than I have in some time. So in hopes of holding on to that hope for just a little longer, and inspiring some of your own while you read it, I thought I would share a love letter of sorts to the upcoming summer.

Do The Daniel does mean a lot to me – and I’m ready to restart #DanielsDish in a whole new way as the first step towards finding myself again.

Things To Be Thankful For

When it comes to (Canadian) Thanksgiving and the fall season, I am often reminded that it’s time to focus on the things I do have and not that which I don’t. I have my health. I have an amazing job. I have a blog and online presence that I love creating content for. I have a loving spouse. I have my health. I have family that loves me. And I’ve got lots of reasons to smile this season. In hopes of spreading some love and positivity into the world I thought I’d share some thing to be thankful for.
