"Grandma, I'm tired. So tired of this life..."

"Take your tiredness, my child, and wrap it around yourself. Like a blanket in the cold winter months. Tiredness comes to make you a nest, to bring you to wear comfortable clothes, to make you sink into its warm embrace. I invite you to stay within yourself. Without strength, without thoughts, without actions. Like the snow that covers everything to soften the world, to make it muffled, to protect it from noise. Accept the flakes of your tiredness and let yourself be completely covered by them."

"I could die buried under there..."

"You will be reborn instead. Like the seed in the ground. Do not resist your weariness, do not reject it with a thousand actions, a thousand intentions, a thousand feelings of guilt. It just wants to take you by the hand and lead you to sink into the void. Right there, where the source of every inner strength lies. They taught us to be strong by resisting. But it is in surrendering that the true heroes emerge."

"I'm afraid, grandmother. What if fatigue will annihilate me?"

"My child, you are not afraid of tiredness but of losing control of yourself. The time has come for you to give yourself to life. And to generate together with it the most wonderful children: the fruits of your soul!"

There are so many women that inspire but the one that inspires me the most is my mom.

We have been through a lot and there have been some rough times for us but she has always come out stronger.

From raising 3 kids on her own (my dad moved to another province when I was 10) to beating multiple times, this woman never ceases to amaze me. She has shown me that anything is possible. She is fierce like a tiger!

In honour of and have partnered up and created these beautiful Fierce Like Tigers Shirts and Sweaters 🐯
100% of the proceeds go the Canadian Women’s Foundation to help spread awareness and raise funds for their various programs that support girls and gender-diverse youth.

A national leader in gender equality advocacy, the Canadian Women’s Foundation works to achieve systemic change by supporting women and gender-diverse people of all ages to move out of violence and poverty, and embrace confidence and leadership. 💖

Pick one up for yourself or the special women in your life at your local Giant Tiger Store or online and gianttigerstore.com

Tag a woman that inspires you! ❤️🐯👇

It’s that time of year ✨

Victoria heard that phrase from Olaf and that is her response to to me a lot of the time now. I.e: why are you throwing your spoon across the room? “Because it’s that time of year” 🫠☃️

Is it too early to start talking about the holidays?

It’s going to be extra special this year for my family because we are going to DISNEYLAND! I’ve never been so I think I’m even more excited than the littles.

We got our Christmas photos done nice and early this year! We went to visit at her new studio and her holiday set up is sooo pretty! ❄️

My precious Vienna 🤍

always manages to catch those smiles!!
