5th Podcast Episode Drops!
When we were kids, summers were times for BIG adventures. Listen to this story, a longer one than we usually share, about a special summer at the outdoor neighbourhood pool. You’ll feel like you’re walking through the back lanes with the author and her gang of friends. And you may even remember those bathing caps with the flowers that some of us had to wear in the pool. This story is all about the power of community and the kind people we meet along the way. Hosted by Nancy Angus.

4th Podcast Episode Drops!
Life is all about surprises. Some of the surprises make us laugh, while others stop us in our tracks. This episode looks at surprise and how it pops into our lives without warning. As Jimmy Buffett once said “Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.”
