Writing for me and Mom in December
Since October didn’t quite go as planned, and I need something to keep my brain busy, I am going to try and write again every day in December. I do have all kinds of things going on, but I need something that will keep me distracted, if that makes sense. It is a busy month…

October Journal Challenge: Happiest Moment of the Day
One of my yoga teachers says things that happen have no traction if you don’t give them a story. Boys and girls, today was all about ‘things that happen’ and as much as I didn’t want to give them a story, some days, you need to succumb to the story… It all started yesterday. If…

October Journal Challenge: Weekend Wrap up
I haven’t written in a few days, and while my intent was to write every day, I had to honour my brain. I sat down to write Friday and my selected topic (something interesting I’d noticed) and nothing seemed interesting (other than people’s bad driving habits). Saturday was things I was excited about for the…

October Journal Challenge: Ways I’ve shown kindness or empathy recently
While I will occasionally pay it forward and pay for someone’s coffee in the drive thru lineup, I haven’t done that in a while. And while I know there are ways to give that help more, I do give to the local unhoused who ask for change. We also support our local foodbank and shelters…

I had some homework to catch up on and while there were some ‘aha’ moments, and moments of realization, nothing made me smile wide. Facebook memories were cute, as were…

October Journal Challenge: Something that made me happy today!
I am writing this from The Fox Hotel & Suites in Banff National Park. We just got back from having dinner at the Chili’s Restaurant in the hotel (so much yum), I have a drink on the beside table, for the first time in weeks (if not months), the crazy ringing in my ears isn’t…

October Journal Challenge: Things that made you feel energized today!
It is noon as I start writing this – and out of the gate, I had a webinar at 9am MDT this morning that got me excited! It was on the merit evaluation criteria of NSERC Alliance grant applications. Which, to many, many sound dry and boring, but given my extensive work on the sustainability…

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 5: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven things you have learned
Today’s task is to reflect on eleven things you have learned. Be it from formal education, life lessons, pearls of wisdom, on the job experience, or any other method or way of learning. There are so many things and ways one can learn. I found this an interesting and curious gratitude prompt. To be able…
