An ode to summer. Reflections and lessons learned from a summer of attempting to become a gardener. A summer filled with everbearing strawberries, only a few sweet peppers and a healthy rosemary plant, I’ve shockingly kept alive.

Have you ever spent time searching the shoreline for the sparkle of beach glass hidden amongst the stones? Something so simple taught me the value of paying attention. It had me wondering how much of life we are missing because we are not paying attention fully. Could we reclaim our attention span? Could we be awed by what lies hidden in plain sight?

Are you good with directions? Perhaps your someone who appreciates looking out for a landmark to determine where you are. Have you ever thought about people being landmarks in our lives? In this episode, I share thoughts from a conversation I recalled with my uncle as we drove across the country side of Ontario. The wisdom he shared began a time of reflection on the significance of both landmarks and direction, not only for the journeys we take on roads, but also for the journey of our lives.

We must begin somewhere. In school, we use to grab a piece of paper and begin to write down our thoughts and ideas. Drafts were a helpful and useful tool. Perhaps they were beneficial to us in ways we hadn’t quite realised. In this episode I share my reflections and thoughts on the gift of writing a ‘draft’. Thanks for listening. And thanks for going on this new adventure with me!

Have you ever been lost in translation? Ever wished you could have clarified something after you said it, but couldn’t? In this episode I share a few of my memorable experiences while traveling and some thoughts I’ve been contemplating about being ‘lost in translation’.
