Changes
Wow! Things change fast. I noticed I was losing weight. I finally decided to see my doctor. She had some tests run and within 24 hours she ordered me to get to a hospital. It turns out I had become a diabetic! So much new stuff to learn about! And I am not allowed to …

The Lazy Hazy Days in #yeg
Have you noticed something in the last few weeks?There’s a general “slow down, go slower, even slower than that” feeling with the population in #yeg. This is great news! We need to do this regularly. But with all the events of the last many couple of years we haven’t been able to do it. There …

Income Support
We made a difference. All good things must come to an end. This was the best way to end. I started work on a project with the Government of Alberta last month. You could call it a gig, I suppose. Initially, it seemed straight forward: call people, ask them some questions, and move on. WOW! …

Income Support
This is what I do when I’m not massaging. This should probably be a part of every Alberta workers’ emergency toolkit. My current contract is with the Alberta government. The project deals with Alberta Income Support (https://www.alberta.ca/income-support.aspx). People apply for it and get connected with a Career and Employment Consultant. CEC is somewhat easier to …

Rest, Relax, and Rejuvenate
Post-pandemic time. Getting back into the flow won’t happen on its own. Time and peace of mind must be wrenched back from habits formed during this pandemic. I’ve personally spent most of the last couple of years reacting to changes around me.I got good at it. I was fortunate from the outset in that I …

This bothers me to no end because it seems that they’re trying to recover the losses they got hit with during the pandemic by extracting more from their loyal clients. I think …

Easter Sunday: Our Reawakening
Whatever faith, religion, or spiritual belief system we humans follow, one thing that binds us together is our response to the changing of the seasons. The transition from winter into spring is a particularly powerful one for some of us because it seems to encapsulate the transition from sleep (winter) to being awake (spring) or …

Win, win, win!
Well, I have to say I’m pleased. Ecstatic might be a better word for it. The booking/scheduling calendar has proven itself. Thank you Booking Calendar for this no cost plugin. I am tempted to explore what the “paid for” version offers. Perhaps down the road. The $79.95 morning massages are proving popular! This makes me …

The Booking Calendar
Is the search complete? I’ll admit it. I enjoy fiddling with this website.I look on it as a work in progress.I do get folks contacting me making a website for me, but I turn them down.I’d prefer to spend time learning something on my own than to spend money on a complete stranger’s idea of …

Well, I Gone and Done It
I have a booking calendar. I actually had a booking calendar from a company named Calendarspots. The link to them is here: www.calendarspots.com . Great product. Great company. There was only one problem: nobody wanted to book with the calendar. Prospective clients would call or text to ask about availabilities and if I directed them …
