There are so many ways to find inspiration in daily life. It does not require a lot of money or time. The only requirement is to open your spiritual eyes and choose to see life, and life’s natural wonders, in a new light. 1. Make a list of things you would love to do if you had the time, money, and energy. Every day, allow yourself to daydream that they all come true! 2. Turn […]

Yesterday was such a beeeeeeautiful sunny (but very cold) day here in Vancouver. A great day for showshoeing!! Finally went out and tried it for the first time with a great group of girls 🙂 I love hiking so I figured I'd like snowshoeing too. WOW - what a work out! I was SO surprised...it is a great way to stay active and get outside in the winter. The Mount Seymour area has some fantastic […]

Fear of being alone is linked to a fear of not being able to create your own happiness. If you do not believe that you can create your own happiness and enjoy life alone, then you will be less confident and more dependent on others' creating your happiness. This dependence makes being in a relationship much more important, and therefore increases anxiety about being alone and increases fears of rejection. As a result, you can […]

Self-belief is the thoughts you have about yourself. The really interesting thing about beliefs is that we are not born with any. They begin to develop as soon as we are born. Our parents, grandparents, teachers, siblings, boyfriends, and friends give us our beliefs. Then, as we grown up and go through our life, we create our own new beliefs changing some of the old ones. But most people hold onto some old beliefs from […]

I love to cook, but have never taken a cooking class before. So when I saw that Miele Culinary Institute offered a three course seafood meal cooking class, I treated myself to the class as a belated birthday present to myself 🙂 The super talented chef taught a bunch of really useful tricks (like the best way to dice a shallot and the best way to peel a whole garlic bulb) and then he showed […]

Nearly half of women-led business owners say they're on level playing field with men in business, according to a survey conducted by Womans President Organization.

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” - Oprah Winfrey I couldn’t agree with Oprah more! Passion IS energy. Ask anyone who has met me and they'll tell you...I have A LOT of both! Passion is enthusiasm and excitement for life. The more passionate you are about yourself, your work, your life, or whatever it is you are doing...the more positive energy you give off. True happiness comes […]

We are not who we are because of what's been done to us. We are who we are because of how we have chosen to respond to what's been done to us. Personal responsibility is taking complete responsibility for your life and acknowledging that you are the only one responsible for your thoughts, your decisions, your emotions, your behaviors, your attitudes, your achievements, your action and your inaction. You are the only one that has […]

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint on the clouds of doubt, And you can never tell how close you are, […]
