I almost didn’t go. I made plans with someone I met and cancelled on her once. Once because I was feeling too tired, too stressed, too busy, too blah to go and meet her. We made plans and I felt good. We didn’t talk for the week leading up to said plans and I started […]
The holidays can be a stressful time of year; there are parties to go to, nails and hair to get done, dresses to buy, presents to find, and still our regular day-to-day activities to do. That’s a lot in just a short month. Why do we do this to our self each and every year? […]

A fall trip to the lake is my favourite time of the year. Sure, floating in the water while the sun warms you into a crisp, then napping the afternoon away while a fan blows is a wonderful weekend spent, but it’s hard to feel connected to nature during those months. You’re hot, sticky, worrying […]
