Age, Wisdom & Regrets. How I’m Embracing Aging (sort of)

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

With age comes wisdom, and a few regrets I’ve come to find out. Barely a day goes by after catching a glimpse of my crow’s feet in a reflection, that I don’t hear my mother say, “You’re going to regret that tan someday!”. Ugh, why are mothers always right? There’s no doubt that my sun-worshipping ways have led to some deeper than normal lines on my face. Add in lack of exercise and a workaholic tendency and I definitely have regrets. On the flip side, some things, when it comes to …

Self-Care is More Important Than Ever in 2017

By //  by Jennifer Pitt 1 Comment

There is a lot going on in the world this month. Harvey, Irma, Jose, flooding and earthquakes in sad abundance the world over, and of course the Great American Cheeto is still in office making America grate again, mostly on the rest of the world's last nerve. All of these world events are the bread and butter of social media these days, and it has become a go-to place for information and news now, instead of reputable news sources--which, admittedly, seem to be decreasing by the minute.

Sorry (Not Sorry)

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 3 Comments

We Canadians are famous for being "too polite" (is there such a thing?) and I know full well that I am "polite" and "apologetic" to a fault. Mr Hockey Coach once threw his hands up in the air and asked me why I was so apologetic all the time. I didn't really have an answer. I've apologized to people who've hit me with their shopping car, run into me on a sidewalk and stepped on my toe. How dare I take up space! But I've been apologizing - and forgiving people - for way too many things. And …

Got Guilt?

Got Guilt? Get Over Yourself

By //  by Kelly Given Williams 1 Comment

I go to karate classes almost every week and almost every week I walk away with more than a martial arts lesson. Often my instructor says something that makes my ears perk up and my brain start humming because what he said is something directly related to what he is teaching, but it’s also totally applicable to everyday life. At one class during a kicking drill he said, “If you can see the kick coming in time for you to back up, you can see it coming in time for you to move forward. You are …
