I may go so far as to say that my all time favourite things to do on the weekends, is waking up early, making a pot of tea, and reading the latest scoops in the weekly New Yorker. This was exactly my lazy morning yesterday. S was still asleep, and I could hear the dog breathing heavily over in his plush bedding. The light was just starting to creep in, and I was ready to start my day, slowly. I took pleasure in the simple things, of just boiling a pot of water for tea, and reading the ...

Seven Moments That Inspired Me This Week | 05-11-2017
I know people may say this quite often, but I really can’t help but feel like time is passing so quickly! The bat of an eyelash and whoosh, the day is gone. I’ve come to realize that as much as I may feel overwhelmed at times with what seems like I’m working three + jobs, I quite enjoy keeping busy. I like to have a full calendar because it makes me feel like I’m living life. Like I have things to do. (Lots of things. All of the things... sometimes!) Whether it’s setting aside time for a ...

From hiking in Whistler, to watching the sun set over the BC mountains, to even connecting with friends over vegan pizza in Vancouver, this week has reminded me how travel is at the root of inspiration. ...

What a week! With half spent on the East Coast and half on the West, I still haven’t decided whether or not S and I are coming or going. One thing is sure, our van (named tortuga) is packed and we are already on the move from one BC city to the next. Have a look here at what we have planned for our travels in British Columbia. And here are the seven moments that inspired me this week, in this 50/50 split between Toronto and Vancouver! ...

Every now and again, what’s old can be new. A sense of repurpose, or cleansing. There’s this painting that’s been hanging in mine and my heartmate’s living room for a little over two years now. And as someone who moves so quickly from one thing to the next, I often question the value, or the purpose of what I have in front me. Is this still interesting to me?! Does it serve a purpose? Do I still in fact, enjoy looking at it? The painting’s prior design, was of something superficial. ...

As April showers are now (hopefully) long gone, this week blossomed with sunshine and May flowers - just in time for momma's day! With the week leading up to today - May 14th - I was thinking quite a bit on what to get my mom for the special occasion. This week I lost a touch of wisdom, as I bid farewell to my four wisdom teeth and said hello to my newfound chipmunk cheeks. From weekend smoothie bowl recipes, to a little self-care at Her Majesty's Pleasure, and lunchtime catchups with ...
Seven Moments That Inspired Me This Week | 04-30-2017
Two things I learned this week: Positivity attracts positivity. The little things in life sometimes bring you the most happiness. Have you ever read "the secret"? I have, and I liked it! It's all about positive thinking and the law of attraction. About how you can get exactly what you want out of life, nay, handed to you by the universe, by simply thinking positively. Crazy?! Not sure yet. For someone who seemingly has a LOT of positive days, I too wake up to my share of ...

This week was a special week for me as I traveled from Toronto to San Diego on a work trip. I used my down time to re-balance, let myself be grounded, assimilate to the relaxed west coast vibes and reflect on a few things that’ve been weighing on my mind. Crazy how a couple of days in a new location can do that to you huh?! Every day was a new discovery, and a shift in perspective is sometimes all we need to see things in a new light. I learned about the benefits of earthing from a great ...

Eight days into the new year and I’m still wishing people a happy new year! What is the cut-off point on that anyway?! I like to pretend the whole month of January is perfectly acceptable in wishing people a happy new year. Sooooo, in light of this, HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is actually my first “Seven Moments to be Grateful for” post of 2017! I hope the holidays found everyone well! I know I made sure to take some time off to spend with my family. And for those who’ve been following along, ...
