I lost my phone yesterday and it was terrifying. If you’re anything like me, your phone is so much more than…well…a phone. For me, it’s my calendar, notebook, GPS, wallet (hello, Apple Pay!), camera/video camera, a recent history of my life in pictures and videos, and more. The thought of permanently losing my phone is …
I’ve been trying to write this blog post for more than a week now. I’ve tried all the tricks: Just start writing. Take a break and come back to it. Make a list of possible blog topics and pick one. So far, nothing’s worked. I get part way through the blog, read it, and then …
I love helping others. It makes me feel good. You probably feel the same way – most people like to help others. But I kinda suck at asking for it. I think there are many reasons I don’t ask: I’m afraid they’ll say no. They will think I’m stupid. They will think I’m weak. Interestingly, …
I’m hosting a Gratitude Challenge for the month of October! Practicing gratitude can be a great reminder of all that is good in your life. It can increase your level of happiness and invite abundance into your life. I’m grateful for many things. I’m sure you are too and I’d truly love to hear about …
I’ve been binge-watching Suits this week. Because I can and I want to. I’d like to blame it on the weather and the fact that I did 20km of hardcore hiking this past weekend.

What does a pumpkin spice latte and the dentist have in common? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Except today. Today they have one thing in common. Today they both put a smile on my face and brought me a little bit of joy. I had a dentist appointment this morning followed up with a few errands and a …
I failed. Several times. And I’m ok with that. In fact, I’m more than ok with it. If I hadn’t failed, I wouldn’t have the life I do now and I happen to like it. A lot. Note: I didn’t say I’m a failure. There’s a big difference between failing at something vs. being a …
I don’t know about you, but my life often feels like a bit of a hot mess. On any given day there’s a load of laundry chilling in my dryer, dirty (or clean) dishes living in my dishwasher, appointments to get to, meals to be made… you get the picture. However, I have 5 organization …
Can you believe it’s already August?! I hope your summer has been awesome and that you get to squeeze every last sunshiny drop out of it. Last week we crossed off one of our summer goals with our annual trip to PEI. I love PEI. It’s a little piece of paradise with amazing beaches, fresh seafood, beautiful views, and …
It’s Friday! * * I don’t typically post on Fridays. Normally you’d see this post next Monday or Tuesday. However, next week I’ll be soaking up the awesomeness that is vacation so I decided to post today. Now I could’ve scheduled this post to appear next week, but I wanted to celebrate Friday with you. …
