Giving Care

Charlene Norman — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 14:39:31 +0000

Right now, my husband is on a six-week journey. This past Monday, he had surgery for his rotator cuff muscle. We are just completing week one. Naturally, I have a few thoughts …… When we get married, we sign up for the usual ‘for better or worse.’ And rarely do we give thought to what […]

Business As Usual

Charlene Norman — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:10:39 +0000

Business as Usual Business as usual is an umbrella term that covers all standard, day-to-day business operations. I really like the definitions buried in the Cambridge Dictionary. “Things are continuing as they always do despite a difficult situation. The state of continuing in the usual way.” Yesterday was the start of a new series on […]

The Making of all Pearls

Charlene Norman — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 11:04:52 +0000

Did you know it is a popular myth that pearls are made from a grain of sand? To be super clear, it’s a lie! Intriguing folklore, complete without merit. Nearly all high-quality pearls come from oysters, and oysters are incredibly adept at secreting the sand that regularly gets into their shells. On the other hand, […]

Personal Success. Is There a Better Way?

Charlene Norman — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 12:39:11 +0000

Let’s talk about one idea we have about personal success. Lately, I’ve been trying to work through the different scenarios that would play out if we arbitrarily chopped the value of all homes globally by 50% to make the market more accessible. Notice I said globally. Because, in theory, there would be no impact if […]

Try a Little Tenderness, er Kindness

Charlene Norman — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:37:37 +0000

Otis Redding? Kindness? I can hear you mumbling. C’mon woman. I am sooooo busy. Exactly! And that’s why this piece is short. I simply want to draw your attention that we are officially in the season of Kind! What exactly IS it? My definition of Kindness is being considerate, compassionate, and understanding towards others. […]

Forgiveness: To More Peace this Season

Charlene Norman — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 10:22:39 +0000

December is turning into the whirlwind of activity season. Certainly not because of parties and social things. Instead, because many of my brother’s estate details are finally ending. (Notice I said many; I did not say all). One of the things I am doing is taking a portion of the estate proceeds and setting up […]

Managing Terror or Fear

Charlene Norman — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 11:26:33 +0000

Next week, I will finally open the doors to the 5Cs Community and invite the first 100 founding members!!!!! Yes, I am excited. Strangely enough, I have no terror or fear. Not of losing the sizeable investment in funds and time I have put into it. Nor am I fussing about whether this is the […]

Anxiety of a Different Sort

Charlene Norman — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 12:26:41 +0000

Let’s talk about a different sort of anxiety. In my late twenties, hubby and I bought our first house. We had precisely ten grand to put down, interest rates were 20%, and we ended up taking a first and second mortgage for a home that cost us exactly double our combined annual income. I wasn’t […]

Giveful, Grateful, FULL

Charlene Norman — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 12:46:15 +0000

For the last two months, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time feeling like a convoluted pretzel as I’ve dealt with the red tape of both the police and the RCMP. My brother had a few hunting rifles in his possession when he passed, and for a host of reasons, getting those rifles into the […]

A Day Late; a Nickel Short

Charlene Norman — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 10:31:43 +0000

I want to lean into something very personal today because it is a message that too many of us are forgetting. And increasingly, too late is really TOO LATE. Last week, my husband’s favourite uncle passed away. Lorne was 93, had been married to the love of his life for a few months shy of […]
