Tanya’s 2¢ (aka Blog)
Call Out the Good
I have been watching the Sochi 2014 Olympics quite a bit, no shocker I imagine. I noticed how eager myself, my Facebook circle and the world really, are to share the ‘good stuff’. The stories of the Canadian Coach that helped a Russian skier who broke a...
Judging – It Won’t Make You or Them Better
I’ve been taking in as much of the Sochi Olympics as my schedule will allow, it’s a labour of love to watch the Athletes and Russia host the World. Admittedly I watch it with a critical eye, seeing what they have done to raise the bar or be creative, or...

Peace

The Kind of Gifts that Aren’t from a Mall
So I’ve been at this blog since July of this year, almost 6 months of writing under my belt. This blog has proven to be one of my favourite things. I have always enjoyed writing but this has been a surprizing gift. I have some regular readers, some...
Relationship + Trust = Opportunity for Forgiveness
Trust is a funny thing. We get offended when people don't trust us, but we don't trust others...frequently. So here's what recently happened to me. I had a situation where I asked a question that was mistaken for mistrust. I can see...
