Good morning! Have a great day, ...and remember 'Life is too short to waste time waiting for other people’s approval on how you live it'.

This pickled beet, arugula and goat cheese sandwich is peppery with creamy notes from the goat cheese and sweet and tangy undertones from the pickled beets. eatingwell.com/recipe/799408…

As the seasons change we have opportunities to notice how the trees, plants, woodland & forest begin to wake up💚 Perhaps today, count how many types of new shoots & colours you see on your morning walk in nature? #Spring #Blossom #Nature #Trees #Forest #Mindfulness #Wellbeing

Trying to think of new ways to add vegetables to your diet? This gluten-free roasted carrot galette is topped with a beautiful turmeric honey and is anything but boring. #vegetarian #glutenfree #LunchTime
The woods are waking up! Its a beautiful time to take care of yourself & spend time in nature. Did you know there are health benefits to spending time in the woods? Forest Bathing by Qing Li is a great book & resource for learning more.#forestbathing #wellness #TakeCareOfYourself
Too tired to cook last night but talked myself out of fast food and made Mediterranean roasted veg with feta instead. So glad I did! #yummy #homemade #HealthyFood #eatarainbow #quickandeasyfood

With the announcement of AstraZeneca now available for 40+ (at participating pharmacies) we have seen an increase in statements such as "I will wait for a good one". But spoiler - they are all good. Still not sure? Check this out youtube.com/watch?v=V4cyYvmU…

Enjoyed a long walk along the Barrie waterfront this morning. What a beautiful way to start the day. Get out there, #BeActive #bethankful #bemindful #bestrong. #BetterDays are ahead. Make the most of every day.

#Barrie Folks, gonna ask right now for your patience...snowstorm tonight is forecast to drop so much snow, the roads crews may not be able to keep up. I know it will be the first day back to work for some but please pack your patience in the AM as we clear the roads.

Food prep this weekend involved a whole lot of colour! We roasted these beautiful beets to use in a beet dip and on salads for lunches this week. Made for an easy & delicious #foodprep session. #mealprep #MealPrepping #eatyourveggies #eatarainbow #easyrecipes #PlanAhead

Slowly switching my family to more #vegetarian meals. No one complained last night while eating artichoke, smoked tomato, & spinach pasta served in a Greek yogurt, sour cream, & parmesan sauce. #happyfamily #dinnertime #eatyourveggies #eatarainbow #goodeats

Extra important COVID update today. Please share. With the ongoing tragedy at Roberta Place and the arrival of the B117 variant in our community, what we need to do now and in the coming days is more critical than at any time since this started. Stay Strong Barrie.

So why not just go all out and stop all travel?? If no one should be doing it, then just stop it. Period. Because until then, people will still do it if they can.
"My message to Canadians remains clear. No one should be taking a vacation abroad right now. If you've got one planned, cancel it… We must get through to the spring, and mass vaccinations, in the best shape possible," said Prime Minister Trudeau on Friday.
