And I think everyone is seeking a brain refresh these days. Canada has many gorgeous sights, and perhaps each coast offers some of our best must-see locales with views of Mother Nature at its best.  Eloquently kate recently wrote a…

Time for a cuppa (Virtual Tea Party November 2020)

Time for a cuppa (Virtual Tea Party November 2020)

Here we are once again, and it’s time for a cuppa at the Virtual Tea Party hosted by Su Leslie over at Zimmerbitch. Wow, where does the time go?

This month I’m going for quick and easy, which admittedly is what I do most days. Even after running my business from home for approximately five years now, I still struggle to make time for a nice relaxing tea break.

Silently seeking hope

There’s so much stress, anger, tragedy, and noise going on in the world lately, and of course, it’s all turned up to a deafening roar online. It’s overwhelming to me.

It feels like hope, acceptance, and support are only a dim light at the end of an infinite dark tunnel.

And admittedly, it’s getting to me. The aggressive noise has silenced me, perhaps in an effort at…

Man’s bullshit

Every piece of this is man’s bullshit. They call this war a loud over the land, but they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say, “shit! It’s rainin!”

Sometimes we need

Sometimes we need to step out of our public space. We need to fix our broken things, mend our worn things, and take care of all the stuff we call, me. – Amanda Ricks

Only once in your life, you will find someone

  “Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around.

You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When…

How important are friends?

How important are friends?

Friends represent the least clear-cut relationships in our lives; they don’t wear our wedding bands or share our DNA. But much clinical evidence shows the strength of these relationships can increase positive emotions and improve our health and well-being. We live more productive, fuller, even longer lives as a result of our friendships, experts say.

Yet many people tend to neglect to create and…

Some people never change - Quote 2

Some people never change – Quote 2

In 2014 we shared a quote called Some People Never Change. Surprisingly that quote became very popular and even inspired me to write a post about why some people never change.

Today, I’m sharing an updated version of the original quote. Let’s see if this one catches on as well.

It’s time to start believing in yourself "Every second you use to focus on what other people are thinking of you, is a second where you are not believing in yourself."
