Happy May! It's springtime and in my world, I feel a mix of excitement AND overwhelm. Lots going on and Iām doing my best to prioritize, focus, and manage my overactive mind, energy, and nervous system. Masala Chai with ginger (thx SP), morning walks (thx DM), and dumplings (thx ST + JB) are helpingā¦ This is me working at Happy Health Women headquarters (thx Natalie!) on āUpside-Downā (sub-title TBD), my 2nd book which celebrates the ups, downs & in-betweens of unconventional Portfolio Living, which I know well. Reflecting on spring, there's much to be thankful for and celebrate: - Helping clients declutter, edit, and organize online and in-person
- Estate clearing respectfully and efficiently in 2 large GTA homes
- Forging a new work partnership with friend + realtor Paul Haley
- Presenting Kika the Upside-Down Girl to K-4 students in the TDSB, Kawartha Montessori, and Pope Francis Elementary School. Shout out to my sister Vanessa, teacher extraordinaire @Timberbank PS!
- Presenting āWhy Portfolio Careers Will Define Success in the Future and How to Create Oneā to Gr. 9/10s @ Lakefield College
- Making major content, structure, and design headway for book # 2
- Selling my historic Argyle condo to make space for something new
- Watching Sebastian thrive in hockey ā go George Bell Titans!
- Supporting Jeremy with Airstream final touches
- May 24 cottage activation weekend + Peterborough & Lakefield visits
- Celebrating my parents 59th anniversary + 3x April Aries birthdays
- Co-organizing our annual Lisgar St Sale
- Staying optimistic, active & open ~ lifeās continuous ups + downs

Iāve always loved Rick Mercer ā his unique blend of political commentary and comedy is divine, and learning about his many meanderings and mishaps is illuminating. As a ātrailblazer by accidentā, he has such a way of bringing out the best in people and his take on what it means to be a ātrueā Canadian is inspiring. Canāt wait to read his follow up this fall. |

Mega respect for the Queen of Rock ānā Roll. May you RIP and continue to inspire millions with your mega heels, hair, sass, and determination. |

How cool is this playlist app? You type in a description and in less than 30 seconds, out comes a 100-song Spotify playlist! Iāve made several, my favs: āgospel soul funk to wake up toā & āfun music to declutter the houseā. Congrats Abelardo Riojas - let's support his creativity! |
