What I am ready to leave behind in 2025
This post has take me a couple of days to write because it is a bit of a difficult topic for me to write about… While the concept of ‘letting go’ or ‘leaving things behind’ seems very easy, the practical application, to truly leave these things behind, takes planning and work. I did a workshop…

October Journal Challenge: Opportunities ahead for me
What do I see ahead for me? I think it depends on the context and I am a big believer in worrying about jinxing myself! Lots of people believe we can manifest things. In fact, one of my ‘homework’ assignments this week was to lookup Ester (Abraham) Hicks, who is an American ‘motivational’ speaker. She…

October Journal Challenge: September Wins (3)
It has been a hard year. All the plans I had laid out got sidetracked, derailed, and long ago abandoned. With it, my motivation got stomped out too. I have never hidden my battle with depression either, and while I have mostly kept my head above water throughout this year, it has not been without…

Day 4: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven things
I am caught up now! Today is eleven things you are grateful for that we maybe take for granted and this one was EASY. Things started flooding to me. Why? Maybe because I spent some time in my childhood without some of our modern conveniences… Sometimes, it is the simple things in life. Unsure what…

A goal you reached that once felt impossible. Attending post secondary school. As a high-school drop-out with sub-par grades, I honestly once felt attending any kind of post secondary education was well beyond my ability. I spent most of my high school career believing I was far too stupid to ever get beyond “Do you…

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…

50×50: Welcome to 2025
Welcome to 2025! There are 27 weeks until my birthday. Twenty-seven weeks to finish my list, which is do-able. Maybe… I should get my butt in gear and start writing more than I am, and perhaps, doing the things on the list! I’ve let my writer’s block consume me and while I am always advising…

A Final Word: A reflection
Like a few things I’ve done in my life, the decision to write about fifty memories was a bit of a whimsical event. The idea came to me one day, a couple days before I needed to start, and I thought “Hey! I could do that.” Not, perhaps, fully understanding that fifty is a big…

The beginning and a little history
In some 50+ some days, I turn 50. This isn’t a number I fear, it just is a number and while I’m not totally jumping for joy over it, I don’t actually have issue with it. I celebrate my birthdays – for someone who didn’t think she’d turn 30 (long story), I’m glad and proud…
