Christmas Memories
It’s that time again, when the snow starts falling and the house gets it’s decorative look. And that got me thinking about Christmas’s past. As I shared with you last year, when I was about 6 years old, my mom made me start buying gifts for all my brothers and sisters, as well as mom … Continue →
Anorexia in Our Children
CBC News just released a story on the rise of eating disorders in children. There is an eating disorder but much more than this, this is a self-confidence crisis in today’s children.

Are You Listening To Your Little Voice?
Are You Listening To Your Little Voice? I had a client recently that told me about a situation where she didn\'t feel comfortable about a new person in her life. She just had a "uncomfortable" feeling that made her unsure of this person.
