I just used a free virtual medical clinic that Ontarians need to know about. 🧵 1/5 I have been sick for months with every virus Everett has brought home from daycare. It has become relentless sinusitis. My family doctor is closed on Fridays and yesterday afternoon they closed early due to weather. Today I was desperate.

⚠️CPC member data has been stolen ⚠️

By now you all know how much I hate disinformation & internet fraud.

Prepare for a very weird tale involving at least one CPC leadership candidate, Kyiv and hundreds of CPC members. 🧵

… 1/14 Earlier today I received an email from a CPC leadership campaign thanking me for pledging to donate $120 to the candidate.

5yrs ago, my friend told me about using a “Word of the Year” to manifest an intention instead of a #NewYearResolution.

I gave it a shot and I have had some very powerful experiences since.

But it comes with a warning… 🧵 1/13

#NewYear2022 You really need to choose your word wisely.

I’ve found the universe (or God) has its own ideas about how to creatively interpret your chosen word.

Sometimes for the better, sometimes maybe not. 2/13
