Kyle Post Olympic Follow Up

I’ve been meaning to do this follow-up post since September; talk about procrastination! Once again I had the opportunity to sit down with Miss Kaylyn Kyle to take a few snaps and chat about her experiences at the London 2012 Olympics. I must say it was quite amazing watching someone you’ve grown up with living and breathing her dream on an international stage. During those couple of weeks, I was easily one of her biggest fans. I even busted my mom taking photos of the TV when... [Keep Reading]

Kaylyn Kyle - Saskatoon's Olympian Athlete

Kaylyn Kyle, Team Canada, Olympics, 2012, Soccer, Olympian, London, Saskatoon,

Once a lanky, four-eyed blonde, this Sports Illustrated super model has only grown stronger in her determination and passion for the game. Soccer... [Keep Reading]

Moksha Yoga

   Throughout this past year and especially in the last eight months, I was faced with one of the steepest learning curves of my life.

I was unable to find full-time employment and - in an effort to occupy all my spare time - began practicing at Bliss Yoga, a local Barrie... [Keep Reading]
