I’ve decided to do NaBloPoMo again this year – one blog post every day in November.

Accckkkkk! I’m already late for this important date! So this will be a 2-fer post. And I am showing myself some grace because – sob – the Blue Jays lost the World Series last night and I’m suffering a bit from Daylight Savings…(I know we gained an hour, but still).

Here are some highlights from my past week, Scattershot Sunday if you will…

1. 1) Game 7 of the World Series, here in Toronto, the city and the country have been hyped seeing the Jays continuing to advance. When many said the Dodgers would take it in four games – the Jays would have none of it and brought the game back home. A heartbreaking nail biting loss to the LA Dodgers, after a crazy game that went to 11 innings. But what a team the Jays are, and bringing the country together during unprecedented times.

I remember going to the huge parade in 1992 when the Jays won the first of two consecutive World Series. It would have been so sweet for them to win again. And full disclosure, I am a bandwagon fan. The beauty of baseball is that it is straighforward enough to follow, and I even played as a kid in school. Not that anyone picked me for the team, I couldn’t hit very well but I could run.

Sigh… there won’t be a next year with this same group of guys, but at least we had the experience. And today is another day. Heartbreaking, but they showed so much heart!

2) I went to a retreat last weekend, spent a couple days focusing on me, and preparing my headspace for the week ahead. A small group of ladies, strangers when we started, but real connections afterwards. It was gorgeous up in Collingwood area…downtown and the arboretum below:

3) The week ahead entailed starting a new job! I’m back working fulltime now, adjusting to a hybrid model. I’ve been entirely remote based since 2019, so this is an adjustment. So far so good, the week went by super quickly and the people have been lovely.

Two words. Loved. It.

5)And oh, there was Halloween.

Wednesday on a Friday.

Hope you have a great week ahead!
