Get More of What You Love by Loving What You Do

We All Have Shit

You could be the prettiest, the smartest, the most giving, the most kind, the richest, the purest, the most loving… we all have shit. Some people will see that shit and accept it. Some will see it and push it away. They may even tell others of the shit you carry, belittling your ‘extraordinary’ gifts…

Breaking Down Your Steps to Get Everything Done

I know when I’m overwhelmed it is often because I have more to do than I can picture myself doing. The thought of completing anything new is taken over by the thought of having to complete that which is current, and the things that are past due. Small items of less priority can distract me…

Approximately 92,000 people work for the Ontario government.

Filled with Anxiety Not Gratitude

Gratitude trumps anxiety. When we are in the grasp of anxious or overwhelming times, it is hard to see how being grateful will make a difference. Initially, it will not feel it is making a difference, but I guarantee that having a grateful lifestyle will help eliminate the feelings of lacking and failure. If being…
