Kindness...

Sometimes we underestimate the power of kindness.

The other day, a busy mom with three young children stopped what she was doing to help me get a shopping cart for a watermelon. Such a simple gesture, yet it reminded me that kindness doesn't have to be big to make a difference.

We rarely know how one small act might brighten another person's day.

Perhaps kindness is one of the quietest expressions of courage. 💛

Transformation Takes Time

It's been exciting to hear that people have been spotting monarch butterflies in Saskatchewan this summer.

Every time I see one, I'm reminded that transformation isn't instant.
A monarch doesn't become a butterfly overnight. There are long periods when nothing appears to be happening. Yet beneath the surface, remarkable change is taking place.

I think our own lives often work the same way. Growth isn't always visible.

Sometimes we're quietly becoming the person we're meant to be. 🦋

Where in your life are you learning to trust the process?

One of the ways I try to live courageously is by saying yes to opportunities that stretch me a little.

This summer, that meant volunteering for my second year at the Saskatoon Jazz Festival.

Volunteering reminds me that contribution doesn't always happen from centre stage. Sometimes it's found in welcoming a guest, sharing a smile, lending a hand, or simply being part of something that brings joy to others.

We often think courage has to be dramatic.

Maybe courage is simply saying yes to experiences that help us grow—and, in the process, brighten someone else's day.

I'm grateful to everyone who made this year's festival such a wonderful celebration of music, community, and connection.

For the past few years, I've been writing children's books about courage, hope, and transformation.

Lately, I've found myself asking a different question:

How do we actually live courageously every day?

Not in the extraordinary moments—but in the ordinary ones.

I've decided to begin a new monthly series called Reflections on Living Courageously, where I'll share stories and reflections about finding the courage to live with love, purpose, and authenticity.

I'd be honoured if you'd read my very first reflection.

🦋 How Do We Actually Live Courageously Every Day?

Last summer, I signed up to volunteer at the Saskatoon Jazz Festival.

I'll admit, my first thought was, "What am I getting myself into?" 😊

I didn't know what to expect, but I said yes anyway.

This year, there wasn't nearly as much hesitation.

Why? Because that's what courage does.

The first brave step is often the hardest. Once we've done something that stretches us, the next step becomes a little easier.

I'm grateful I said yes last year because it opened the door to new friendships, new experiences, and another opportunity to be part of something special this summer.

Sometimes the life we're looking for begins with one small, courageous "yes."

Recently I heard an affirmation that stayed with me:

"I am allowed to rest without earning it."

I sat with those words for quite a while.

How often do we tell ourselves,
"I'll rest when..."

When the project is finished.
When the house is clean.
When life finally slows down.

But what if rest isn't something we earn?

What if it's something we give ourselves so we can think more clearly, love more deeply, and simply be more present to our lives?

💜 Wishing you permission to pause today.

One of the greatest gifts of summer is that it reminds me to pay attention.

To notice the flowers blooming.
To listen to birds after a rainfall.
To enjoy an evening bicycle ride.
To sit quietly with a cup of tea.

These moments may seem small, but I've come to believe they're where life is actually happening.

Presence isn't found in extraordinary moments.

It's found in ordinary moments we choose not to rush past.

💜 What simple moment has brought you joy this week?

For Children Starting Something New

🦋 Summer may be here, but before we know it, children will be preparing for a new school year, a new classroom, new teachers, and new adventures.

Transitions can feel exciting.
They can also feel scary.
That's why stories matter.

Stories help children see that nervous feelings are normal and that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's moving forward despite it.

I Can Do It Afraid follows one small butterfly on a journey of more than 3,000 kilometres as she learns to trust herself, ask for help, and keep going.

This is a meaningful gift for children entering a new grade, a new school, or any new chapter in life.

Signed copies available. You can also order your copy through an Indigo or Coles Bookstore.

There's something about watering flowers, pulling weeds, and watching things grow that reminds me not everything in life needs to happen quickly.

Nature never rushes.

The butterfly rests when it's tired.
The flowers bloom in their own time.
The garden reminds me that growth often happens quietly, beneath the surface.

Sometimes the most productive thing we can do isn't to push harder—but to pause, renew, and trust that something beautiful is still unfolding.

💜 How do you restore your mind, body, or spirit during the summer?

I recently listened to psychologist Dr. Adam Alter discuss how the average person may spend 15–20 years of their life looking at a smartphone.

That statistic was thought- provoking.

Our devices aren't just convenient—they're designed to keep our attention. Over time, constant scrolling can make it harder to focus, interfere with sleep, and leave us feeling strangely empty instead of fulfilled.

It made me think about the message in I Can Do It Afraid.

Sometimes courage isn't climbing a mountain or standing on a stage.

Sometimes courage is choosing presence.

Choosing conversation over scrolling.

A walk outside instead of another reel.

Silence instead of constant stimulation.

Every time we choose what truly matters over what simply captures our attention, we strengthen our capacity to live intentionally.

One small, courageous choice at a time.

💛 What's one way you'll choose presence today?
