Happy New Day everyone! How’d you feel when you woke this morning? Rested and eager to jump out of bed? Feeling a bit groggy and in need of just a few more zzzz’s? Or feeling exhausted, like you hadn’t slept a wink all night? Getting a good sleep is difficult for many of us at…

Hello CASS friends! Thanks for coming. You are welcome here 🙂 How are you doing this fall day as the weather begins to cool and leaves begin to turn? How have you been experiencing Phase 2 of Alberta’s relaunch strategy that began June 12th? What is your relaunch style? Have you been slow, curious and…

Good morning friends! You are welcome here. When you look through your window, what do you see? At this time of the year, in Calgary, we see sun one day, rain the next, and snow the next day after that. Actually – who am I kidding? – we can see all that in one day…

Good morning friends! Happy new week to all of you! I hope you all had time to check-out and check-in with yourselves over the past week! I intentionally checked out for a few hours after I dropped my kids off for their first day of school, and had to force myself to do nothing. It…

Bright Shiny Greetings to everyone! I hope you have been enjoying some sunny warm weather, getting a little more vitamin D, planting a few seeds, taking a nap under a tree, or whatever is your summertime fancy! Thought we could settle in for just a moment and talk about self-care today. What does self-care mean…

Hey everyone, how did you start your day today? I’ve come to believe (the believing has come faster than the practicing!) that the way in which we start our day will influence the kind of day we have. You probably know this already.  It takes me a little longer to get on board with these…

Happy sun-shiney day CASS community! Hope you have been refreshed by the rain and energized by the sun these wondrous July days! One of the biggest complaints I heard from folks about the mandated self-isolation protocol is how lonely they feel. Is this you? Or someone you know? Many folks struggled with loneliness far before…
