#ThursdayThoughts & taking a minute to breathe

I have to be honest with you and say that I woke up today feeling very overwhelmed. I’m not sure if it’s because yet again my body, in lieu of a daunting schedule and a colossal amount of work this month, is getting sick again almost as if in protest. Maybe it’s because my heart is hurting for a few special people in my life who are going through difficult times. Whatever the reason may be, I am left thinking about the world we live in and the unreal standards that many of us set for ourselves. Why is it that we have been taught to not show emotion anymore? Don’t let them see you cry, right? Well, I do cry. And I do have hard days. And it’s okay to admit that.  Continue reading “#ThursdayThoughts & taking a minute to breathe”

Food & Drink | Thanksgiving is great, but Friendsgiving is better!

I think as I’ve gotten older, I have come to appreciate that time at home with friends is more important than I once thought. There is something so relaxing about gathering together a few friends over a delicious home cooked meal, some good wine, and much needed laughs. I was reminded of just that when I sat down with friends and colleagues at Antler Kitchen & Bar to enjoy a delicious meal created by Chef Michael Hunter paired with four of the nine new wines that are hitting shelves just in time for the fall at your local LCBO. So much so, that I am planning my very own ‘Friendsgiving’ before the Thanksgiving season begins. Come and see what we will be eating & drinking, all inspired by the new #LCBOtastelocal fall mantra: Live. Love. Taste Local.  Continue reading “Food & Drink | Thanksgiving is great, but Friendsgiving is better!”
