I want my son to feel Canadian even though we live in Korea. So I took up hockey at 40
Graham Nichols is a Canadian who lives in South Korea. When his son was born, he wanted to reconnect with his Canadian roots and hockey seemed an obvious answer. The only wrinkle: he'd never played hockey before.

Earth Day.
No big words today.

Just a quiet thought —
we keep trying to take care of the world without really being close to it.

We rush, we consume, we move on,
and forget that everything we touch is part of something bigger that also holds us.

So maybe the point isn’t to control it.
Maybe it’s to reconnect.

Because you don’t destroy what you truly feel connected to.

#EarthDay #Reconnect #SlowDown
As terrible as 2026 has been overall, I’ve found myself reaching out to many friends I haven’t seen in a while. A part of me just misses them & realizes earning the MEd & now PhD has taken years of precious time. While I don’t regret it, I need to make time for the people who matter. Covid undoubtedly affected my desire to go out. It’s incredibly comforting and fun just staying home, watching tv/YT vids, and being slug-like as a procrastination strategy. 😉 But it also feels good to #reconnect.
