The Power of Fun is a self-help book about, well, fun. Not just fun, but True Fun. Price refers to True Fun as a confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow – a state that is achieved when, for example, one is playing a musical instrument with friends, or taking a dance class. She compares it to a state of euphoria.
Price discusses the fact that most of us define anything that isn’t work “fun” but points out that most of those things do not result in True Fun.
If you are looking for a self-help book that helps you bring more fun into your life, this would be a good choice. It is along the same vein as Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project.

I loved, loved, loved this book. Chuck Klosterman’s The Nineties: A Book is a series of essays of varying lengths dealing with different aspects of the decade that was “bookended by falls – the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers”. Covering everything from the definition of Gen X, to fax machines, to the murders of Tupac and Biggie, to the prevalence of TV and movie rentals, there is very little left uncovered.
As a person who spent her early teen years and childhood in the 1990s, there is much that I remember (the OJ Simpson trial and the Monica Lewinsky scandal) but didn’t really understand. This book helped me gain context for these and other events.
If you have any interest in non-fiction and lived through the ‘90s, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It was fantastic.

It is a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver. Are you into spring or is it still winter where you are?
Spring always gives me hope as the sun comes back and flowers pop up from the earth.

Every year, the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Daffodil Campaign unites Canadians to take action for the nearly half of Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
This spring, hope is more. More than a word, more than a feeling. Hope is action. Breakthrough discoveries, quiet acts of care, roars of support. These are the things that give hope life. That make it bloom. So that more people with cancer can live longer, fuller lives. And that’s why we need your donation to make it all happen.
Your donation to this year’s Daffodil Campaign will fund nationwide support programs that offer comfort and connection – and world-leading research to transform the future of cancer.

“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day without any mistakes in it yet?” – LM Montgomery – Anne of Green Gables
This is my very favourite quote. It resonated with me the first time I read it when I was 7 and it still speaks to me 32 years later.
We all make mistakes every day but for a short time there is a tomorrow that lays fresh and free of mistakes. No matter what happened today, we get to try again… and make mistakes again.

It’s crazy how much love fur babies bring into a home. Between my raggedy old man, and my bouncy Sadie Rose I feel so grateful to share my home and my life with these bundles of love.
