I’ve been blessed with an amazing mother, a wonderful mother-in-law, and several spectacular grandmothers. I’ve always admired their strength, compassion, tenacity, and abundance of talents.

Hopefully Mom is taking it easy today. If today was any other weekend, she would have gotten up early, done yoga and meditation, cooked three delicious and nutritious meals on a wood stove, made vegan dog treats, tended the garden, boiled water for washing, cleaned, walked the dog, completed a number of home improvement projects, read a book, and then drove back to Winnipeg. She’s amazing.
