While most of us enjoy … More Yes, learning music is good for your brain
Yesterday afternoon, I received a text from Bell reminding me that today is #BellLetsTalkDay. I made a mental note to be sure to use the hashtag across social media platforms as I normally do.

It’s a question as old as time and one that brings forward all sorts of differing opinions; whether or not ghosts are real, and further, whether or not we believe in their existence.

I realize that a lot of us are likely going to read the title of this post and think to ourselves, ‘seriously?’ considering how much of a shit show 2020 has been.

A few nights ago Blaine and I decided to watch Papillon.

As … More Papillion: an emotionally charged movie of perseverance
