Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Keen as a Hawk!
I’ve travelled this same stretch of road for decades. One of the 400 series highways crisscrossing southern Ontario––two hundred and fifty kilometers of flat pavement surrounded by some of the richest agricultural land in the world. Other than flocks of crows, and the occasional herds of cows and horses, pretty much a mundane drive.

Knowing Your Value
Where would you rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? Would you say that you are average or above normal? To rank yourself at all would be a comparison. Comparison can be the thief of all joy. They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But there is no better alternative for authenticity. In a world where many are trying to be like everyone else, does it become harder or easier to value yourself?

Read This When Everything Is Falling Apart
I wish you weren't reading this. You clicked on this article because you're going through something rough, and I wish I could reach through my computer and give you the world's biggest hug. But I can't do that, so instead I'm going to let you read something that will hopefully help guide you on the path to happiness.

New Thoughts, New Things
One morning I was washing dishes at my family's house. I noticed my uncle as he walked into the kitchen. He had gotten ready for the day ahead and wore a nice shirt with shoes to match. "Good morning," I said. "What are your plans today?" His response took me by complete surprise.

The Writer That Never Writes
I can't say for certain when I worked out that my purpose was probably to write. Or even if it's something I actually needed to 'work out' at all. It's always lingered in the recesses of my mind, pushed further and further into the corner, like the one box of stuff in your attic you genuinely will need again, shifted to the side to make room for Christmas decorations, 'holiday clothes' that your wardrobe can no longer contain (just me?), and random cables and remotes for DVD players you almost definitely no longer have.

It's Ok You're Not Being A Bitch
Have you ever had someone say to you that you are being a bitch and you wonder, how am I? Well, you are not being a bitch, people just do not like the change in you. so that is their go-to name. Some people do not like when a woman stands up for herself. Especially when it is to an older woman or a mother-in-law. So she gets labeled as a bitch, because she no longer fits in with what they want. She is not allowed to stand up for herself. A mother-in-law will rather you be weak, an abusive husband will rather you be weak, a hateful boss will want you to be weak. Why? Because these people do not want you to be able to stand up to them, and put them in his or her places.

Finding Myself Again in the Daintree
To say that the last few months (heck, year or more really) has been a shitshow would be an understatement. In a world where abiding by the expectations of others has been the overarching presence throughout my life, I’ve come to a realisation that it’s time for me to take stock of who I am. What makes me, me.

How Practicing Better Self Care Is Saving Our Lives
I’m sitting here curled up with my laptop, working through some of my tasks, with Young Living Sacred Mountain essential oil diffusing, and I’m feeling awakened. Ready to share part of my story. I feel pulled to be upfront, open, and to truly focus on connecting with you. A few months ago, I had the beautiful opportunity to partner up with my friend Nikki from LoveMeTreatMe to work on a Sunday self-care series on my blog DoFiveThingsADay. We created this series because Nikki and I share a deep understanding that there is such a priority for self-care in our lives—that our lives actually depend on it.

10 Ways to Practice Self-Care That Aren't Pampering
I know we all love our facial masks and bubble baths… and we love curling up with a great book or buying ourselves little gifts and treats time to time. And though, those are important for us and our self care (because you should totally be giving yourself some extra love and spoiling yourself sometimes)—there is much more to making sure you are taking good care of yourself.

Why Setting Boundaries Is Important
Boundaries. This is something I give a lot of thought to, something I’ve quite struggled with in the past—in relationships, in friendships, with family, and at work. It’s led me to feeling drained and burnt out many times. I know setting boundaries with those we care about can be tough, in fear of letting them down, but if we don’t it can lead to complete exhaustion, and even resentment.
