Considering this word, another seems synonymous = fear The fear surrounding the word “no” is a great one. The people pleaser in all of us fear disappointment and letting others down. We are afraid of seeming lesser than, looking weak, being rude, getting rejected and being perceived as a failure. We also face guilt ifContinue reading “No the no-no word”

Motivation
What does this even mean? I feel this word slipping from my vocabulary. Keeping up with friendships, tackling new projects or even just getting out of bed has never seemed more challenging than it does now. I feel as if I have lost something within myself in the past year and a half, that IContinue reading “Motivation”
WIFI…Connection – June reflection
It has become increasingly difficult for us to separate the WIFI from our personal connections. Surrounding ourselves with speakers, phones, tablets, computers, headphones and smart TV’s. This convenience is so integrated in our daily lives, that we don’t even notice the effect it has. Most of us are always stressing about our battery life, continuouslyContinue reading “WIFI…Connection – June reflection”

This month was one of reflection. I catch myself daydreaming, digging into the past and thinking about the people I have met along the way. My thoughts shift between positive and negative events and I let it happen organically. Going through this catalogue of my life, I became more intrigued to discover what shaped myContinue reading “MAY we gain insight through hindsight”

Check in
Do you always put in extra effort to check up on your friends and family? (especially during these times). A phone call here and a quick message there, maybe even a funny picture to share a laugh or to cheer them on. Catching myself doing so, got me thinking, do we ever give ourselves theContinue reading “Check in”
Setting the stage in February
We are finally getting used to the rhythm of this year, and by using the discoveries from our journey thus far, we can confidently continue on a better path forward. They say it takes 21 days to break a bad habit, but how many days does it take to build a positive one? From whatContinue reading “Setting the stage in February”
The Wall
Hitting a wall is ok, sometimes it needs to be there for you to lean on. We all walk through life in our own bubbles, facing different and individual challenges each day. One bitter sweet side effect from our current world state, is that we all seem to be hitting the same walls together. WhetherContinue reading “The Wall”
