A post stroke journey back to the awesome me I used to be
I have moxie Do you? My grade 11& 12 typing teacher Mrs Flegg was a very interesting woman and now that I reflect on it, she was much more than met our very inexperienced eyes. I know now that those charming suits with the short frayed jackets were probably Chanel or at least a really …
I'm "sstalking", trying to correct a bad habit I've developed while learning to walk again . It started with my first AFO (ankle foot orthotic) - I guess I was just so anxious to get on my feet again, that I didn't pay good attention to a bad habit I was developing (and neither did …

Today's feature picture is a group of travelers called "The Goldens" four women, two dogs and a sixteen year old who is making a documentary short about their cross-Canada journey (As an aside: that's 4,636 Kilometres).
