I sang it out loud and repeatedly that morning, “Demo Day Baby!” until my son begged me to stop and cursed me out (respectfully) for putting that song in his head. We have begun to completely renovate the laundry room and powder room (or guest washroom, the name ‘powder room’ seems so dated). Months ofContinue reading “Demo Day Baby!”

The tree. It has always been my life symbol. My spirit has always connected to trees more than anything else. How can you identify your life symbol? It’s easy.
