I recently spent a lovely weekend in Victoria — the sun was shining brightly and it was my aunt’s 88th birthday! Many family gatherings made it so much fun!
A special highlight of my trip was being invited into Munro’s Books — that gorgeous bookstore in downtown Victoria.

The festive season is drawing near and I am looking forward to gathering with friends and family to enjoy some holiday spirit. At this time of year, the days are short and the nights are long and dark. It’s good to find ways to come together and share some light.
I love living in a place where we experience four distinct seasons of the year. Most recently, we have been in the throes of fall (or autumn, as many call it). I live in a neighbourhood full of beautiful old (and giant!) trees. It is wonderful to take an autumn walk every day and see the gorgeous changing colours of the foliage.
September is here and the children and teachers are back to school. The memories of summer vacations and wandering the shoreline of our wild beaches are quickly slipping away.
Happy Book Birthday to Karen Reczuch and I, who are celebrating our new book released today!
