Ode to the Common Cold

Ode to the Common Cold

Ode to the Common Cold

You knock on the door as an itchy nose

Then

Waltz right in with a sneeze.

Oh, what nerve you have to disturb,

To disrupt my rhythm, my ease.

What to do now?

Sit back.?

Sip tea.?

Sleep.

The sooner I accept, the sooner I heal,

And you, unwelcome guest, will flee.

Tis the season for sniffles and coughs.

What do you do when the cold comes knocking??

Are you good at resting?

Drop me a note and share your tips.

Join me for Coffee and Mental Health Advocacy! ????

I’m pledging money to Ottawa Salus to support their mission of providing housing and support services for adults with mental health challenges. Over the next year, I'll be hosting 52 coffee and conversation sessions where we can connect, share ideas, and make a difference.

For each coffee, I’ll donate $20 to Ottawa Salus and invite you to match it with a donation to your preferred charity. Let’s come together for meaningful discussions that empower our communities.

Interested? Drop me an email or DM on LinkedIn to schedule a time to chat. Let’s make our coffee count! ????
