Today was awesome. I got a taste of London, the Olympics and working with a fantastic group of people.

This is the start of something big.

Thank you to so many of you for all your support, kind words and thoughts! I'm ready to take on the next 17 days of Olympic coverage and cheer for my country along the way.


Check out this photo from inside the CTV Olympic control room. I was lucky enough to get to watch the lighting of the cauldron while I was in there!

Here's the link to the Opening Essay for the London Olympics. Not going to lie, I teared up a little when I saw it yesterday in a preview, especially when it talked about the Vancouver Games. It's a pretty special time to be a Canadian.

Holy smokes where did July go already? I've started work with CTV's Olympic bureau and am getting very, very excited for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games starting next Friday.

If you're not already, follow @CTVOlympics on Twitter for all the latest news, athlete information and more throughout the games.

My brain in thoroughly induced with everything British, so it felt fitting to dedicate this month's playlist to the artists of the British Invasion.

Of course, we honour the classics (we all know how much I love my Stones...) but it's time to share the torch with some of the new voices coming out of the UK. Check out Marina and the Diamonds, Florence and the Machine and Rita Ora, some of my new favourites.

Also released this afternoon - The Spice Girls will be performing their hit "Wannabe" at the London 2012 closing ceremony. #Cantwait

Enjoy the playlist and have a great weekend!
