as we hold our breath before the inevitable…
I feel lucky a great deal of the time to live in the Province of Ontario, Canada. But let me tell you, lately that is certainly not how I've felt.... If you don't live in Ontario, let me sum things up for you in a nutshell- it's a disaster. Our case counts of COVID19 are… Continue reading as we hold our breath before the inevitable…
and the third waves come crashing in
This past week has seemed like something crazy out of a sci- fi movie to be perfectly honest. A year in to this pandemic, and despite our optimism and positive outlook- it truly feels like we are moving in the wrong direction. I'm going to be straight up that this weekend (Easter weekend) I took… Continue reading and the third waves come crashing in
back at it!
I really wish that post above didn't seem so fitting with my life the past while but yet.. here we are.... You've probably noticed I was on a bit of a hiatus (sorry guys!) but had some other life things going on the last while that took priority. You know I don't like to post… Continue reading back at it!
the burden of irresponsibility
COVID-19 is feeling never ending these days... people are exhausted, tired of all the extra time and safety measures in place to protect each other and our communities, and peoples' faith is wavering. It is certainly hard to maintain all of these things long term, but we've all sacrificed SO much that it would be… Continue reading the burden of irresponsibility
the importance of self care
So here we are pretty much a year into this pandemic... many of us treading water (or at least that's how I feel a lot of days). I've taken some time the last couple weeks to just chill (instead of working at doing a million things like I normally do on the weekends) and I'm… Continue reading the importance of self care
reflecting on “#bellletstalk” day
Yesterday (January 28th) was #bellletstalk day- an initiative started in 2010 to bring awareness to mental health challenges and end the stigma of people struggling with their mental health and well-being. I know that yesterday on my own social media feed, there were many thoughts that were posed around sharing the #Bellletstalk video and the… Continue reading reflecting on “#bellletstalk” day
celebrating your accomplishments
I will start this post by saying that motivation has never really been a big issue for me.. I guess you could say I've always been a pretty driven person. It's pretty hard for me to remember a time where I needed people to remind me or prompt me to do things... and let's be… Continue reading celebrating your accomplishments
– that fall feeling –
In case you may not know me (or haven't realized yet) I am pretty much as basic as they come so... of course fall is my favourite season! I'm a sucker for a good cardigan (I already love scarves), and a half- sweet PSL or a pumpkin cold brew is a sure way to my… Continue reading – that fall feeling –
– procrastination nation and the never- ending “to do” list –
Adulting isn't all it's cracked up to be. I think many of us have been feeling some added pressure with feeling motivated as normal during quarantine and as we adjust to what life is going to look like moving forward. I’ll be honest, at the beginning of this whole thing I looked at it as… Continue reading – procrastination nation and the never- ending “to do” list –
