Counsellor Talk : Connecting with those who want to make a difference.

I think I’d rather be here today. It’s the view from where our summer cottage is. The photo was taken by my neighbour. Who would not feel better looking out at this ?

It is up to you!

For who you are and all you do. These goodies are just for you.

Youth sometimes get. a bad rap,but for me they bring great joy. You just need to listen to them. They really are quite amazing.

No better time to be all that you can be. Just do it!

This was a sign on a walk with a dear friend of mine and it rings so true. I want to live fully every moment I can especially during this pandemic.

Living fully means different things to different people. For me I try to make as many moments of my life count that I can. It also means sometimes I just veg in front of Netflix escaping into another world for a period of time.

Whatever you choose to do each day make sure it is living as fully as you possibly can spending time with those you care about any way you can.

My colleague Helen and I have been working with youth for many years and this year is no exception. Tonight we gave two online workshops after working all day with youth in a school, I am so grateful to surround myself with the enthusiasm and energy of youth. They think we are helping them,but they rejuvenate me.

With schools about to go online Monday and many changes about to occur because of the rising cases of Covid in Calgary; it’s extremely important to follow all guidelines .

Todays stats

21,053 Confirmed cases

5,028 Active cases

15,837 Recovered cases

121 in hospital

20 in intensive care

188 deaths

It’s also important to take care of your own well being, so just for today I will say NOT TODAY Covid I will not give you my piece of mind.
