On a happier note, I took a visit to the Port Dalhousie Piers on Labour Day weekend and captured this shot. It made Port’s community newspaper The Reporter this month! #stcatharines #niagara – at St. Catharines, Ontario
Anyone use a height adjustable, ergonomically friendly desk? What brands are good? Any recommendations for me?

What do you do when you’ve had a hard year at work? How do you regain perspective and come back fresh and looking forward?
Here’s a good thread! Thanks, @ThatAndreaM 🙌
So far I’m taking a look back at my year, taking stock of where I can improve, and setting some goals for next year. Looking forward to 2024 and keeping my head up.
Diet, exercise, self care, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, finding your tribe, may all effective mental health strategies to employ if you’re working remotely. - Matt Graham on mental well-being in the remote #WordPress space @wordcamprocny #WCROC
@betterhelp, @calm, @balanceapp, other apps to guide you through meditation, finding a therapist, etc.
I found each of todays talks enlightening, but @ShantaDotCa & panelists in the talk on freelancing brought illuminative, validating discussion to forefront. Thanks to her and Kiera, Michael, Matt for their time, insights and honesty from different perspectives and experiences.
Do you say you’re freelancing, consulting, or starting a business? What perception do people (clients) have of the word “freelance”?
Big discussion happening @wordcamprocny #WCROC
“It’s a mentality that drives everything….what your clients think of you is whatever you project.” - Audience thoughts.
Don’t work for exposure!

.@Xxowe, Michael Jones, Matt Graham, @ShantaDotCa talk honestly about what to consider when thinking about freelancing. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay.
“The possibilities are endless…” says @ShantaDotCa #WCROC
.@amandagormn talks about what it takes to embrace and implement a customer-centric approach and integrating a customer feedback process into our work. #WCROC
“What feedback are you receiving and how can you categorize it in a way that’s going to be effective for you?” she asks.
