Week 33! Only 19 more to go. It was a very rainy day on Monday. I started out in the morning tutoring a teenage girl who is a refugee from Syria. Since I've been here, I've had some time to help her out with preparing for grade 9. She wants to attend a local high school [...]
Week 31. Monday's walk was amazing, because for the first time this year I took a different route. A much needed different route. I'm in Ottawa for the month, trying to heal and recover from the shock of some bad news - something someone told me that seemed to squash my hopes and dreams, and make me feel [...]
Monday was an incredibly hot day. I think it must've been 40 degrees with the humidity. I woke up early and went to the Starbucks at 525 for a couple hours to work. I've been doing that lately to get myself back to a morning routine. Hopefully the right job will come along soon. I [...]
It's Thursday evening and I'm trying to recap Monday's walk. What always stands out are the people I meet along the way. As I headed out, I ran into Meher Pavri in the long hallway of my building. I first met her years ago at the very first We Are Your Sisters yogathon that my friend [...]

Walk In Her Shoes Week 19. I think I've reached the tipping point where I'm feeling pretty confident that I'm actually going to complete all 52 weeks! Yesterday was really great. It's funny how it seems great in retrospect, however when I awoke I was really distraught. All this uncertainty has been making me crazy, [...]
Recap of Monday's walk, which I haven't gotten around to writing about until now! Clearly need to organize my time better. The kids at the Ronald McDonald House (where I tutor on Wednesdays) listed 'organizational' skills as one of the most important in their career-building activity today, and I agree that it is very important [...]
