Keen as a Hawk!
I’ve travelled this same stretch of road for decades. One of the 400 series highways crisscrossing southern Ontario––two hundred and fifty kilometers of flat pavement surrounded by some of the richest agricultural land in the world. Other than flocks of crows, and the occasional herds of cows and horses, pretty much a mundane drive.

Knowing Your Value
Where would you rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? Would you say that you are average or above normal? To rank yourself at all would be a comparison. Comparison can be the thief of all joy. They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But there is no better alternative for authenticity. In a world where many are trying to be like everyone else, does it become harder or easier to value yourself?

Benefits of Planning Ahead
I know there are some out there that don't believe in planning ahead. We never want to be bogged down by expectations and rules but we create these plans for our own benefit. Planning ahead could mean planning for the distant future or even for the day. Regardless of what kind of planning is done it will no doubt help you save money, time and your personal well-being.

Fear: Killer of Hopes and Dreams
Fear: That terrifying feeling that grips your entire being into paralyzing inaction. A state of being that prevents us from living a full and complete life where our dreams are possible and life is full of beauty and wonder. Fear of living is not living at all. It is death while breathing, but not completely... It is the inability to see your potential, realize it and make It happen. It is utter agony to be in such a state of inaction where your thoughts control your motivation and next steps.

You: Becoming Bolder
Not every person is born with the natural inclination to share themselves with the world. Some are outgoing, some are introverted, and some are quiet. We feel different levels of comfort in different places, situations, and people. Those unique traits to our personalities make us exactly what we are meant to be: OURSELVES.

The Road to You
Growing Up When we are kids, we are encouraged to have dreams. Dreams of a wonderful career, family, lifestyle, etc. We are told at an early age that we can be anything and do anything we put our hearts and minds to. As young kids we dream of being actors, president of our country, singers, etc. We set our minds and hearts to be successful and live an amazing life.

Boredom Is a Choice
I'm sure you've had this feeling. You're in the house watching TV. You're at work and hours seem to be passing you by. You're checking your phone during the day. Scrolling the feed because you're hungry for something. Anything to grab you for one moment. Anything to take you away as an escape from reality.

To Love Ones Self
What is the number one item in your life that you are constantly fighting with yourself about? Take a look at the first sentence and read it again. They key world is "yourself." We are living in a world with an exorbitant amount of pressure that is placed on us. We are constantly being compared to what other people look like, what they're doing with their lives, or where they are going, when they got the college degree, had the kid or the the all American dream—the White picket fence and 2.5 kids/dogs/ etc. When do we stop the comparisons and take a look at our own journeys as separate and equal?

New Thoughts, New Things
One morning I was washing dishes at my family's house. I noticed my uncle as he walked into the kitchen. He had gotten ready for the day ahead and wore a nice shirt with shoes to match. "Good morning," I said. "What are your plans today?" His response took me by complete surprise.

Lazy Girl Tips for Productivity
1. If you cannot concentrate, try not to beat yourself up, and don’t sit there too long either. Stand up, get a coffee, go for a little walk, put some laundry on, and then come back to whatever you’re trying to focus on with a clearer head.

“Hey, World. Don’t Hurt Me.”
Birth. I don’t think many of us really REALIZE how insane the process of birth is, and I don’t think I’m going to even try to get into it, but the basic idea is this—transition. We go from complete safety within our mother’s womb to the big bad world, within what seems like an instant. How is that fair? Did I ask for this? Shit, I had it so good. I’m not complaining, no no. I’m glad my mom decided to raise me, feed me, occasionally scare the literal HELL out of me. It made me who I am today. I’d like to consider myself a decent person, and I’d like to say I have it mostly figured out. Is that the case though? Not by a long shot. It’s a journey, ya know? We find our way, slowly but surely. Or at least, that’s what I was told…
