Have you ever been to Las Vegas? It’s a place I’ve never really had any desire to visit, but this week I had the opportunity to spend four days in Sin City.
As I’ve been travelling, today’s Simple Living Sunday post will be a short one. It’s a reflection on the contrast of chaos and calm, along with some photos and highlights of my trip.
October 16 is Dictionary Day—a perfect day to recognize the power of words. Today’s Simple Living Sunday post celebrates the written word, and why I believe it will live on in an AI-obsessed world and long after platforms like TikTok have had their day.
Following my cancer diagnosis in 2011, I started to pay a lot more attention to the personal care and cosmetic products I was using.

After hearing of a possible link between breast cancer and antiperspirants containing aluminum, I started to look for aluminum-free deodorant options. Today’s post is an unbiased review of several brands that I’ve found to be effective. As an added bonus, there are even a few plastic-free options.

Since it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it felt right to make investing in a healthy lifestyle the theme for this week’s Simple Living Sunday post. It’s a simple investment that can reap great rewards.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month—or Pinktober as I call it—starts tomorrow. As it does every October, the world will turn pink and pink ribbons in the name of breast cancer awareness will pop up everywhere you turn.
Having fought a personal battle with breast cancer, I have mixed feelings about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on Pinktober and the whole pink ribbon movement.
Is it possible to fail at retirement? Isn’t stepping away from a lifetime of work a ticket to instant happiness? For many people, it’s not so simple. Mike Drak’s latest book, Longevity Lifestyle by Design is a practical guide to creating a plan for your ideal post-career life.
Today’s post outlines what I learned from Mike’s new book, along with details on how you can get a free copy. Let’s help Mike achieve his goal of a million downloads.
When was the last time you let yourself sit down and dream about your future? Kids do it all the time but, as we get older, we often shun this behaviour as a frivolous indulgence.
It’s World Dream Day, so this week’s Simple Living Sunday mission is embracing the idea that you’re never too old to dream. Will you dream along with me?
It’s National Respect Day—a day to focus on how we can be more respectful of others. It’s sad that we need such a day, but a general lack of respect is a distressing reality of life in the 21st century.
This week’s Simple Living Sunday post explores the importance of respect and suggests ways we can all show more of it to others.
