First off, I just want to thank everyone who offered suggestions to my last post to help with Molson’s separation anxiety. There were a lot of great ideas but the one that no one mentioned was the one that actually worked! All the experts say to keep puppies in confined spaces, and that puppies won’t […]

As my co-worker says many times in his speech about his journey to wellness – “words hurt”. I agree. Words more often than not have a far more harmful impact than getting into a physical altercation.

Spring is in the air and like most Canadians you are probably engaged in spring cleaning, throwing out stuff you don’t want, getting rid of the clutter built up over the winter, and maybe buying new stuff like patio furniture, garden supplies or a new BBQ.

It makes me cringe when people self-diagnose mental illness from the internet. Because they wallow in it for days, weeks, months. Am I depressed; do you think I am schizophrenic; I heard the wall talking what do you think it meant? It means there was a radio in the apartment next door…? Whatever – get […]
