The year 2015 was incredibly full and busy for me, which is great, and I'm truly grateful. But it was sooo busy, I barely had time to breathe, never mind tend to my blog. So I'm delighted to have finally found the time to compile all my major highlights of the year. I hope you enjoy reading about them, as much as I had a blast experiencing them.
Here is my Wisdom of the Ages Celebrity Roundup Column which was featured in Good News Toronto:
