I’ve written about doing my own “Year of YES” based on Shonda Rhimes book. It’s a little challenging given, well you know, that thing that has thrown off most of ours lives for the past two years that we won’t name in this post. In the Year of YES Journal the first month has a READ MORE

Rewarding Small Successes
I’ve written before about my ongoing quest to find a planner that really fits me. I stumbled across The Self-Care Planner from Simple Self and ordered myself one of the Daily Planners that has enough pages in it to last for six months. I’ll write more about the planner later because I like it a READ MORE
Asking Myself Four Questions
I was listening to an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast early last week and it struck a nerve with me. In it, he recommends asking yourself four specific questions to start 2022. He does this every year, but the questions change. The questions this year are: What is my defining question right now? What do READ MORE
That Doesn’t Inspire Me
“I run a seven figure business.” This is the line that had me turn off an episode of a podcast three minutes in. I won’t say what the podcast was, but it was the first episode I’d started listening to and this line told me I didn’t want to listen to anymore. The host was READ MORE
What’s Essential?
This will be brief because I’m starting my vacation tomorrow. That’s also why you won’t see a new post here until November 18th. On Monday, however, be sure to check out the Better Me Podcast to here my interview with gynaecologist / singer-songwriter (yes, you read that right) Kristina Dervaitis talking about her new album READ MORE
No Such Thing as a ‘Best Before Date’ For People
On Friday I’m recording a podcast with a musician named Kristina Dervaitis who recently released her first album on her 46th birthday. She and her husband, Barry recorded the album in a home studio throughout the pandemic. Prior to this, Dervaitis worked full time as a gynaecologist. She still has a part-time practice in addition READ MORE
Your Silence Serves No One
I just started reading Luvvie Ajayi Jones’s latest book Professional Trouble Maker: The Fear-Fighter Manual. I’ve wanted to read it since I saw this video a few months ago and finally got myself a copy last week. Take 11 minutes and watch this talk she gave at TED almost four years ago. You’ll be glad READ MORE
Designing Your Life
My family and I rented a cottage about two hours north of Saskatoon to just get away for the long weekend. More on that in another post, but today is still a vacation day for me so instead of writing a post, I’m going to share a video. This is a recording of a 2017 READ MORE
I Don’t Need To Apologize For Living My Life
For awhile, I don’t know exactly how long, I’ve blogged twice per week, with them being published Tuesday and Thursday, but not this week. This week I’m writing one post, and it’s not being published until Thursday. No apologize for this “lapse”. I’m living my life. Monday was our daughter’s bat mitzvah. It was a READ MORE
What Will You Stand For?
There’s a line in the musical Hamilton when Alexander Hamilton asks Aaron Burr, “If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?” I was reminded of this line the other day while flipping through my copy of Brendon Burchard’s book The Charge, which came out almost a decade ago. In the second chapter, Burchard READ MORE
