Finding inspiration in everyday things.
Welcome to September. How is it possible that we are two-thirds of the way through 2024 already? I was away in Ireland for more than half of the month, so my August 2024 roundup is a little lighter than usual.
In addition to my goals update, my August 2024 roundup has an insightful post on life lessons none of us learned in school.
And just like that, I’m back from my vacation in Ireland. It was a wonderful trip that I’m so glad I was able to make happen for my mum. The 77th edition of The Sunday Spark recaps the highlights of our 16 days on the Emerald Isle and how I travelled far beyond my comfort zone doing something I swore I’d never do.
Two years ago this week, I published the first lead post in the Climate Change Collective series. Since then, our dedicated group of eco-bloggers has worked hard to spread our message of sustainability. To celebrate the collective’s 2nd anniversary, today’s post is a look back at the content we’ve shared in the first two years, and a look ahead to what’s next for this terrific collaboration.
Summer is rolling along, and I can’t believe I’m writing my July 2024 roundup already. In addition to my goals update, this month’s roundup has insightful posts on savouring every moment, life lessons from the Sunday funnies, and the new deinfluencing trend.
If the stars align, I’ll be off to Ireland tomorrow night on a trip that’s turning into an adventure before it has even started. Read more in this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark.
Today I’m delighted to share a guest post I wrote for Cecilia at The Kitchen’s Garden. It’s all about my history as a writer, and how I overcame seeds of doubt and turned them into a fruitful harvest.
As the Canadian Olympic Soccer Team made headlines for all the wrong reasons this week, I considered things that are more important than winning.
In addition to the danger of a win-at-all costs mentality, this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark looks at generational differences, and fridge and freezer decluttering.
Today’s Throwback Thursday post discusses why recognizing and owning privilege is essential if we are ever to have a just and fair society.
Today is Paperback Book Day—a day set aside to celebrate a creation that changed the nature of reading forever. What better day to publish the first progress update on my retirement goal to read 1000 books!
What do you think of when you hear the words “party bus”? I’m pretty sure it isn’t a ride home from work on a public transit bus, but that’s what’s been on my mind this week.
Along with party bus memories, this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark looks at TLDR, spicy foods, self-transcendence, and pantry decluttering.
