Being Present
What is important to you? What makes you happy? What brings you the most joy? My challenge to you this week is to stop planning. Stop worrying. Stop stressing. Instead, focus on answering those questions in the moment. Ask yourself .. “What will bring me happiness RIGHT NOW?” And then, do it. Live for YOU … Continue reading

The City That Never Sleeps
It may seem strange, but after all my worldly adventures I had still never been to New York City (until a month ago!). The flight is only an hour and a half from Toronto .. So you’d think I would have made it there. I didn’t however, because it seems I am a sun baby … Continue reading
Dream board
This year on my birthday I made a dream board. I was so proud of everything I put into and what it represented. Yesterday, I started making my outdoor zen space – and placed the dream board right in the center of it. I woke up this morning … and my dream board is nowhere … Continue reading
Sunsets
There is never a sunrise or a sunset that is exactly the same. Each day if different. Each day brings new endings and new beginnings. How do you feel when the sun sets? Does it make you feel tiny? Or big? There’s something great about both. The sun setting means another day has passed. Memories … Continue reading

Balance
I’ve been back from my year abroad for about 13 months now. You’d think that I would be back into the full swing of things. YOU’D THINK. But I still wake up every morning with something pulling on my heart strings. A confusion between what I am SUPPOSED to do, and what I WANT to … Continue reading
My Day-to-Day Itinerary of Backpacking SouthEast Asia.
Since arriving back from my travels, I have gotten a weekly email (at least) from someone asking me more information about how I do it, where I went, prices of things, etc. While I was in Southeast Asia, I wrote a journal every day. I wrote about my experiences, but most importantly I noted which … Continue reading
2014; JUST DO IT
2014 is bringing a whole new set of priorities for me. It’s been a year since I’ve come home and the travel bug has never left. I keep making plans to leave and to travel the world but there are things beyond my control keeping me here. Since graduating university, I have been on the … Continue reading
“You’re Crazy”
For the past few years, at least twice a week I’ve heard people tell me “You’re Crazy”. I don’t think they mean literally, bat-shit, bite peoples arms off kind of crazy, but the kind that is just UNORTHODOX. When I talk spending 2012 abroad, or backpacking Thailand, or not working an entry level 9-5, people … Continue reading
