In the spirit of “everything we ever need to know we learned in Kindergarten”: “There are 3 ways to ultimate success. The 1st way is to be kind. The 2nd way is to be kind. The 3rd way is to be kind” Mr. Rogers #BeKind Illustration by Pemberley Pond @ https://t.co/eVaL2OF6Rf

Sunday bike rides just became even more beautiful in Ottawa! My first ride across the new multi-use Chief William Commanda Bridge was fabulous! Thank you to @ottawacity for the fantastic addition to the multi-use pathways!

Retweeting for anyone who needs this reminder today 😉
Public service announcement for managers and coaches: you can't judge effort by results. Inconsistent performance doesn't mean people aren't trying their best. It often means they're doing their best in the face of turbulence. In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.

Although I’ve moved on from “doing” mathematics, being a #WomanInMathematics is part of my identity. Celebrating May 12 with all the other #WomenInMath! #Gratitude to @DalhousieU and @WaterlooMath for nurturing my talent and building my confidence! Here’s to the NextGen!

Welcome to 2023! This year my NYE tradition became *our* NYE tradition. #GirlPower. She ran at the front while I assumed my position at the #BackOfThePack! Thank you to all the volunteers and crew from @RunningRoom #Ottawa for making an evening in the pouring rain fun!

Sadness is precious. Don't reject it as something you didn't need it. Sadness helped you in many ways, such as seeing humanity, relating with others, gaining new perspectives, and, most importantly, empowering you to find your inner joy & strength. From my cabin, I'm sending joy.

Sharing this great thought to start the day!

I have always loved this building on @DalhousieU campus: Perhaps because the hardest things I ever accomplished were accomplished in this building. I enjoyed sharing my history with daughter this afternoon, and she actually enjoyed it. Maybe another Dal-Math grad in the making!

🥵July in Canada: looking for shorts for my growing girl & I find this! Surely I’m not the only mom with this problem? Are there not likeminded moms in boardrooms making the decision of when to swap shorts for snowsuits? Who knows what size she’ll wear when it’s actually -30 🤷♀️

Even though I am prepared for disruption when travelling, I am always grateful to the customer service agents who do their best to make it better. Thank you, Pat, the @AirCanada custom service rep at YYC who went WAY above and beyond to help me this morning! 🙏🙏🙏

#ONVotes I am completely underwhelmed and unimpressed with all of the provincial party leaders, so today I decided to cast a pure vote. Not about party politics or who will hold "power;" nothing strategic about it; just a simple vote for a good person who does a good job.

Thank you to the random strangers who arrived on our street in hard hats with a chain saw and moved enough of the downed trees so cars can get through. #CommunitySpirit #Grateful #CrazyStorm @JimWatsonOttawa @ottawacity
