Hi Reader,By now I'm sure you're experiencing EBFF. (Extreme Black Friday Fatigue.) The good news is, we're almost done so you can get back to normalcy. The bad thing is - we're not done yet as a lot of things are ending today (or very soon) so there's no more time to lollygag if you've been contemplating certain things.I just wanted to share a Black Friday from my younger days. My dear hubby (DH) who at the time, I had been dating for a few months, went away to Chicago for Thanksgiving. I...

Hi Reader,Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! I hope you're having a wonderful day relaxing, eating lots of delicious food and not feeling guilty about it! I'm finally back from my extended birthday celebrations this weekend. I took the day off on Friday to spend with my husband who also surprised me by booking Monday off. I've done a lot of window shopping over the past few days starting at the One of a Kind show in Toronto on Friday which is a huge convention of local artisans who...

Hi Reader, Even though Black Friday doesn't technically start until the day after Thanksgiving, it really feels like the event is in full swing, doesn't it?I'm already starting to feel burnt out. How about you? 😆Do you love it? Do you hate it? I remember in Days of Olde... (you know, back in the days when you walked to school for hours in waist deep snow...) there was an old school approach to Black Friday. (We're talking the aughts here.) This was when Black Friday truly fell upon a Friday....

Hi Reader,Happy Monday! I'm just getting into the swing of things but I had to pop in to tell you about an amazing tool that's ending at 11:59 EST tonight.If you've been with me for awhile, you know I'm a big fan of lifetime deals and avoid recurring fees wherever possible.So when my good friend Ike Paz sent me a DM on Facebook a month ago asking me to review his brand new coloring book software, I was excited to check it out. Nurie CreatorIke and his partner Luke Bowes have just put out an...

Hi Reader,I’m sorry to have taken so long to have written you but a chain of unfortunate events snowballed into an avalanche and I needed to hit pause for bit. In this case, four months. 🤦🏻♀️I don’t want to bore you with a long, involved, laundry list of reasons why I've been M.I.A., but I’ll be recounting some of those setbacks soon as there were definitely lessons to be had and I think sharing them might be helpful to others.I'll also be including some snippets of my European adventure...

Hi Reader,I hope you're having a wonderful Saturday! If you're one of my US readers, I hope you had a happy Fourth of July and are still in full-on celebration mode. Canada Day is a big deal for us, but not at the scale it is in the United States so I hope you're enjoying your extended long weekend.We went down to the lake to watch the fireworks as they were having a big display across the lake which we thought we'd be able to see from the beach. We got there too late though so we watched the...

A couple celebrating the Strawberry Moon 😍 Hi Reader, Can you believe we are officially into summer now?The weather has already been hotter than hades this past week with high humidity which has made things very uncomfortable in Toronto.I think this may be the longest I've ever gone without writing a newsletter with the exception of when I'm traveling so this was highly unlike me.I was completely burnt out from going on about 4 hours a night of sleep trying to get my course finished so after...

Sailing at Rouge Beach (2021) Hi Reader, MAYBE MONDAY???For those who already signed up, just a reminder that the full course will be ready in about a week's time. If you've watched a few lessons and are confused, well there's a reason for that. Some of the lessons I uploaded weren't published and others that were supposed to be a draft only WERE. Talk about horrifying. I'm in the middle of tackling all the tech hiccups and I've been in the process of adding lessons so everything will make...
