(okay … I always crave magic) So, let me help add some bright spots to your days. Toronto Tuesdays is a new series of interview-style blog posts I’m […]

    • Toronto Tuesdays: Claudia Osmond

      I typically don’t participate in my own interview series, but at the prompting of a friend I am my own guest for this final Toronto Tuesdays post of 2022. At first I thought it would be kind of weird interviewing myself, but tbh I have conversations with myself all the time so this really didn’t […]

    • Toronto Tuesdays: Kim (Zhengyan) Jin

      I’m honoured to have Kim (Zhengyan) Jin as my guest today. When I first met Kim, what drew me to her was her quiet nature and friendly smile. The second thing that caught my attention was her absolutely stunning photography! I didn’t find out she was an architect til much later — an incredibly gifted […]

    • Toronto Tuesdays: Don Short

      Today I have the privilege of interviewing my new friend Don Short. As it turns out, Don’s family and my husband’s family knew each other back in the day in Newfoundland, and when my husband found out Don was in the city, he reached out to him to reacquaint themselves. I’ve since discovered that Don […]
