Ernest Hemingway once said, "If two people love each other, there can be no happy end to it". I first read this in my second year of university and I was highly bothered by it.

Last night, on my way home from work, I was listening to the radio when some commercial came on for a local company. The name of the company was also the last name of a guy that I dated back in University so I couldn't help but wonder how he was doing.

I spent an evening last week with an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen in awhile. As we indulged ourselves in some ice cream and much needed catching up, we crossed paths with an old colleague of hers taking a stroll with her young daughter.

A few years back, I was walking through a bookstore and stumbled upon this book that caught my attention. This is not an unusual occurrence for me as it tends to happen often but usually, I just take note of the book title and add it to my list of "must reads" for the near future.

Happy birthday to you...You're ten years old today! It's a good thing too because you drove our mother crazy in anticipation of finally reaching those infamous "double digits"! As you turn ten and I turn thirty, I wish that I had some really great words of wisdom for you. As it turns out though, I seem to be learning just as ... More..

Every day after work, I walk across the Alexandria Bridge to meet my husband. His building is just across the river from ours on the Quebec side and while I can see his office from my own office window, we are still parted by the rushing waters of the Ottawa River and technically, a province apart.Every evening, when I procee...
