Day 7: Decisions
A past decision you’re thankful for. Changing jobs. In 2010, I was moderately unhappy in my job. Moreover, I was overworked and underpaid. The backstory… I had come back from maternity leave and told my job had been given to my replacement. Instead, I was being promoted! Better money and I’d be doing the I…

Day 6: What I’m proud of
Something I’ve done that I’m proud of. Again, there are a few things but what rises to the top of my mind is my involvement with a research grant application. Technically, it was two applications. The first was for preparatory funding for an NSERC/SSHRC Sustainable Agriculture research initiative. If awarded, we could get up to…

Day 5: Hobbies
A hobby that brings you joy! This one is easy. Or maybe it is hard. I have a lot of hobbies… A studio full of them, in fact. To narrow it down to one is probably harder than I think. Sewing. Crocheting. Making greeting cards. Acrylic painting. Polymer crafting. Vinyl crafting. Playing & writing music.…

Day 4: A small win
A small win you’ve had lately – I must admit, this perplexed me a bit. I don’t really look at things as “wins/losses”. What may be small to one, could be large to someone else. Now, we recently did some renovations and both the flooring and the dropped ceiling came in under my initial budget!…

Day 3: Just Right
A moment when everything was ‘just right’. When I read this, I knew my moment exactly. March 27, 2008 starting at about 11pm until about 5am on March 28. My son was born at 11:39am on March 27 and while the day was a steady stream of visitors, my husband went home around 10:30pm and…

Day 2: Safe & Happy
A place that makes you feel safe and happy… The obvious answer would be my home, but that would be too easy. So where else? My Mom’s and sister’s are both places that I feel safe and happy. However, the place that makes me feel safe and happy is not a place where I would…

Happy summer memories from times gone by. Is there anything happier than thinking about the times in your past that made you smile, brought back times in your life when you could simply just enjoy the day without the worry? Happy summer memories! What are some of yours?

30 Days of Gratitude Journalling
It has been a while since I’ve written. Many things have happened since January (and they just keep coming) that have left me physically and mentally empty. There are days when I forget to eat and if breathing wasn’t an automatic function, I’m not sure I’d remember to do that! I haven’t felt creative and…

Changes: why my voices have been quiet
In January, everything changed. Sure, we rolled over to the halfway through the decade, and the new year, but more than that, my family experienced a major life event. Not a birth, not a death, but a ‘major mental health crisis’. Respecting the privacy of my family, I will not really say much more than…

50×50: Number 17 – Read 12 books (book 1)
On my list is a goal of reading twelve books. It isn’t a very lofty goals, but I’d like to read twelve good, well regarded or highly recommended books. I currently have sixteen books on my list. I like to have options. One of the books, I’ve been reading for while, while it’s actually come…
