Many people had a heartbreaking day. Finding out you can no longer do the work you love with people you love. TY to the incredible TSLS team & news team. TY to radio team. TY listeners & guests. TY companies & charities that believed in the power of radio. I loved every moment.
Wow! What a night. I’m over the moon to be one of 15 people inducted into the Order of Ottawa in 2023. The evening was flawless.
The list of recipients included incredible people like Deirdre Freiheit, Solange Tuyishime Keita, Dr. Rob Cushman, Michael Crockatt and many others.
I am thrilled to share the exciting news that 'An Hour to Give' is continuing in a new expanded way!
The stories that matter to Ottawa residents will air on Rogers tv and Country 101.1 and .

Every week for a few years, I had a conversation on air with one of my favourite guests.
This week, although I’m no longer on radio, he called me at our regular time and chatted just like we did weekly.
He will never know how much that meant to me.

Many awesome Ottawa residents reached out following this ceremony to congratulate me. Very humbling indeed.
The list of recipients from this year and past years is impressive. I still pinch myself to be among them.

Four years ago, roughly this time of year, I shared with friends at a dinner party that I dreamt of having a radio show. Some cheered. One laughed. She said “really … you … have a radio show?!” I’m down one “friend” but up two radio shows. Never let anyone take your dreams.
Sad to hear that they switched off Ottawa’s 1310am station radio…it was a very historic station…over 100yrs old!
It was the very first radio station in OTtawa, and one of the first in Canada!
The first broadcast was in 1922 as “CKCO” from the attic of Dr. George Geldert’s

What will it take to stop drinking and driving?
There are multiple ways to get home now with Uber & other services.
Everyone knows driving drunk is a fatality or two or three or more waiting to happen.
Other people see drunk drivers get behind the wheel.

Any other single women do what I do when a delivery person arrives & I haven’t open the door yet. I yell to a non-existent person in the house. Usually something like “can you grab the dogs? I’m opening the door”. This gives the illusion I come with backup.

A few years ago I shared that I wanted to host a daily radio show.
Two groups of people emerged from that statement.
Those that believed.
Those that rolled their eyes.
Both groups ended up helping me along the journey.
