More reruns: The Sweater Story

8 April 2009 It IS all about me

I’m blogging over at Family Jewels again today, and it’s a topic both dear to my heart and important for you to read, so get on over there and read it, okay? But if you still can’t get enough of me today (frankly, I’m a little sick of me these days!) here’s a golden oldie [...]

Rerun week continues with A Love Letter to My Daughter, Who Will Never Be

7 April 2009 It IS all about me

(I’m guest-blogging this week over at Canadian Family magazine’s blog, Family Jewels, so it’s nothing but re-runs back here.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

12 March 2009 Editorial asides

So you know I hate change. Really, I do. It took me four years to finally change my gravatar photo, for goodness sake, and it pained me to do so. Even when I know I’m going to like the new thing better, I’m still reluctant to let go of the old thing. (I was going [...]

On public service, partisanship and social media

19 December 2008 Meta-blogging

Let’s say I have a hypothetical friend. She’s a lot like me, but let me stress this — she’s not me. We have a lot in common, though. We both view our jobs with the public service as something of a noble calling and a privilege to serve Canadians. She is such an amazing boss [...]
