𝙈𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚… 𝘼𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣!

Friends… this has been a learning experience. 

To say the least. 

On April 10, I posted a photo of me holding my book (!) after it was delivered. It wasn’t a single book that was delivered, it was 500 copies. As soon as the boxes arrived, I poured over them: looking at the images, reading the text, making sure it was perfect. And it looked perfect!

Until I really opened it up. That evening, my three kids and I sat down to read the book together. As I was reading the dedication page, I realized the spine was cracked. It looked like a book that had been signed out of a public library hundreds of times, instead of a brand new book right from the printers. 

Hmmm, I thought. That’s unfortunate. One of the books is ruined. 

I went downstairs to grab another one. Same thing. Next book? Same thing. I went through 5 boxes, and all 500 books had broken spines!

It was heartbreaking. To wait so long for my books, after struggling with the printers for months to get the images just right… it really stole the joy of the “I’m a published author” moment. 

After weeks of back and forth emails with the printing company, it was decided that the books would be reprinted and sent to me as soon as possible… and the 500 subpar books would be sent back to the printers for recycling. 

So a month later, here we are! I have 500 quality books and I can’t wait to get them to you!!! This week I will start mailing books out and for those of you who chose the local pick up option, standby! I will have the date of that very soon.

Her Loss 💔 My gain is her loss. I hear “M Her Loss 💔 

My gain is her loss.
 
I hear “Mom.”
She hears silence.
 
I feel hugs.
She just has the memory of his arms around her.
 
I see smiles and eyes that light up with excitement.
She has to close her eyes to see his face.
 
I hear giggles and laughs.
She only hears the echos of them.
 
I get to watch him grow up.
She just gets to dream about it.

Because my gain
is her loss.

This photo is everything. 💕 It’s not a ‘w This photo is everything. 💕 

It’s not a ‘wow’ factor photo: there’s no kicks or splits or crazy back bends. But zoom in on their faces…

Lucy told me they’re supposed to look ‘hopeful’ during their lyrical group. But there’s 12 counts when it’s just her and Jorina on stage and she said every time they look at each other, they can’t help but smile. 

And that makes me think about the countless times my friends made me smile on stage. I’m so fortunate that those memories (and those friends!) still make me smile today. 

So we’ll continue to drive to lessons and competitions, and we’ll figure out a way to fit the fees into our budget. And we’ll be amazed by photos of flexibility and strength… but photos like this…. Lucy smiling with her friend on stage…

This is what it’s all about.

An easy way to make a big difference this #EarthDa An easy way to make a big difference this #EarthDay: switch to Tru Earth Eco-Strips. 

{I was posting and raving about Tru Earth before they sent me product to try. We’ve been using this product for months and we’ll continue to buy it because we love it!!!}

Their single use strips make doing laundry easier, healthier, more economical and much kinder to our planet. 

Top 3 Reasons to Use Tru Earth:

1. Plastic-free Packaging
700,000,000 plastic laundry jugs are dumped into landfills across North America every year. This plastic can take more than 100-years to break down. 
Tru Earth eco-strips are packaged in a plastic-free compostable cardboard sleeve.

2. No More Wasted Space 
I love this! I don’t have a laundry room- I have a laundry closet in the middle of my kitchen. You can fit over 400 loads worth of Tru Earth Eco-Strips in the same space as a single 100 load jug of traditional detergent.

3. No Measuring, No Mess, No Spillage
With Tru Earth, 1 strip equals 1 load. No measuring and nothing to spill.

I want to tell this little girl that one day in th I want to tell this little girl that one day in the distant future someone is going to pull the rug out from underneath her. It will be surprising and upsetting and, quite honestly, terrifying. 
She will feel lost and confused and angry and hurt. 
But through all this she will be reminded of how many amazing people she has in her corner. How many people care about her. How many people have her back. 
And thinking of those people and their words of love and encouragement will make her feel a little bit better. ❤️

Thank you.

“There will come a time when you believe everyth “There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. 
That will be the beginning.”

It’s always hard when decisions are made for you, but I have to believe that something must end in order for something else amazing to start. 

Here’s to 17 years of early mornings in Vancouver and to those who made it possible- thank you. ❤️

MY BOOK IS AT THE PRINTERS!!! 😃 After many, m MY BOOK IS AT THE PRINTERS!!! 😃 

After many, many, MANY delays, I am so happy to announce that my book is finally at the printers!

(Insert cheering, dancing, and celebrating here!)

This has been an incredible experience in learning to give up control.

(Insert deep breath here.)

So many things were out of my hands during this process, from printing issues to team members’ illnesses; a long list of things that slowed down the process so much that I was concerned I may never hold my book in my hands (or get it into yours!).

(Insert more deep breathing here.)

But… MY BOOK IS AT THE PRINTERS!

(Insert another round of cheering, dancing, and celebrating here!)

As of right now, the book shipping date is April 4th. Once the books get to me, I promise I will get them to you as soon as possible.

I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU for your support and patience during this whole process. I promise Unwrap Your Dreams will be in your hands soon!

(Insert tremendous amounts of gratitude here.)
