It’s The Personal Touches That Matter Most This Year

With the holiday season in full swing in our home – I even put my second Christmas tree up today – I am able to sit down and start checking people off my shopping list.

And of course the arts and film, which have always been such a source of emotional catharsis for me.

A Gentle Reminder

2020 is a year that many of us will never forget. One that often has allowed me the chance to reflect on memories and moments that I shared with family. Specifically I’ve been thinking about my family, my health, and trying my best to keep myself healthy mentally, physically and emotionally. But here’s a gentle reminder that some of us might not think of: for many Canadians, that simply isn’t an option.
