I’M STILL HERE!

Hello again & happy new year! I hope this year is off to a wonderful start for you and your loved ones.

I‘m writing today to share a second health update. While I recovered well from surgery last Spring and have been feeling well, at my recent 6-month follow up my physician noted 2 new suspicious nodules, which required a second surgery. This surgery involved a day in the hospital with the planned outcome to clear all cancer cells from this area. My Surgery was Tuesday and my surgeon feels confident he removed the cancer. I will have a follow up in a few weeks to confirm.

Once again, I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your messages and thoughtful gifts. The support and love I feel gets me through some of the tough days and I’m truly grateful for that! 💖

At this time, I’m limiting social media & prioritizing time with my clients, while taking care of myself. I can’t wait to share some of the amazing results I‘ve seen this past year, but one day at a time for now. ❤️

And don't worry, I prepped all my food for my homecoming to be a healthy one! As you know, I too, practice what I preach 👊🏻.

Do your fresh herbs always go bad?

Did you know that you can leave them on the counter (if they have roots) in 2 inches of water near a window and they will last way longer? These 3 herbs are from from a Canadian company called . They also make for a nice centrepiece if I do say so myself! 😉

Happy Monday!

As I slowly step back to work to follow my passion of helping others to live a healthier lifestyle, I will continue to grow as a health coach. I might be late to the 8 month course but I’ve been fortunate that have allowed me to join. Helping my clients cope and understand emotional eating has been one of the passions of my practice and I’m so happy I didn’t miss this opportunity. I look forward to learning and growing as a coach and helping my clients to do the same in the future ❤️.

Hello Friends! 

You may be wondering where I’ve disappeared to this summer. It’s been a time of rest and recovery but also a time of significant loss for our family. While I’m happy to share that my scans are clear, cancer robbed me of Dad very soon after my treatment concluded. 💔 

It wasn’t long ago that my parents were travelling & my Dad was golfing regularly, but suddenly he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer and 6 weeks and 5 days later he was gone. 

I speak of this as a reminder of the importance of living each day with joy and to the fullest which my dad did. My Dad was a thinker, an innovator, a dreamer & doer. His smile & can-do attitude always led the way & brought him such success in career and life.

I share this today as a reminder of the importance of health; making choices for a strong body & mind and seeking medical advice when things are off or don’t seem right. 

As I slowly step back into my life, I will continue to do my best to share my passion for a healthy lifestyle; I want to honour my Dad with a “glass is always half full” attitude & positive spirit and serve those who want to make changes for the better. 

Thank you in advance for all of the support you’ve shown and continue to show. This year has been a battle, but I am strong. I get that from my Dad ❤️.

Hello all, I hope you all enjoyed a restful & nice long weekend. As I’ve taken some time away to reflect on the last few months, I wanted to provide an update on how I am doing and the next steps in my journey.

To say I never thought this would be my life, would be an understatement. I have lived my life very intentionally conscious of my health, so to hear the “C” word was overwhelming to say the least and it’s taken some, and will take some time, to work through it physically and emotionally.

As I enter the hospital today for my radiation treatment, I know that I’m going in with strength. I wouldn’t be here without SO many of you and it has meant so much. To those that organized my life when I couldn’t, to those that delivered healthy food, gifts and flowers, to those that marked their calendars for today and have sent me beautiful messages, it plays close to my heart to know that I am supported in such a way. This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions and your support has made all the difference.

As I head into isolation, I am grateful for a place to rest thanks to Special thanks to my family, and for allowing my girls a place to stay so I am able to complete my isolation at home.

My final step is next Wednesday when I will have a full body scan to ensure the cancer is gone. I look forward to closing this chapter & enjoying a long & healthy lifetime ahead.

So thank you again to each and every one of you (you know who you are 💖) who have been there for me on this crazy journey, I am so grateful. I know I am strong and that this is just a bump in the road. Stay tuned for the ending of this chapter 🤞….
