Live Green | Declutter | Simplify Life
Every week, I’ll choose a simple living focus for the coming week. In my Sunday post, I’ll reveal the week’s focus area, along with a thought-provoking quote or two and a reflection on the priorities for the coming week.
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.
September 25 is 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?
September 12 is National Day of Encouragement in the United States. It’s a day dedicated to encouraging and having a positive impact on the world around us. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Today’s post has some ideas and words of encouragement that I hope will give you a little boost. And don’t forget to pay it forward on September 12!
As we celebrate Labour Day in North America, a workplace trend called quiet quitting has been making headlines. It’s all about working only the hours you’re paid for—something many productive people were doing long before this trend hit the news. What’s their secret? Today’s post looks at ways to boost your productivity.
Freedom. It’s a word that has become quite controversial of late here in Canada. In 2022, freedom has become the rallying cry of a vocal minority who feel it appropriate to deface our flag, make public threats against our prime minister, and attempt to overthrow our democratically-elected government.
Today’s Simple Living Sunday post offers a perspective on freedom and individual rights.

There’s nothing quite like a birthday to make us keenly aware of the passing of time. Celebrating the completion of my 58th trip around the sun earlier this month was a reminder that, like everyone, I’m not getting any younger. In today’s Simple Living Sunday post, I reflect on making the most of your time…before it’s gone forever.

This week’s Simple Living Sunday post explores this phenomenon and steps you can take to cultivate this kind of engagement and passion.
July 12 is National Simplicity Day, a day to let go of life’s complications and focus on the essentials. That need to simplify life and get back to what matters is at the heart of this Simple Living Sunday series. Life is hectic and it’s easy to lose perspective. I have this week off work, so I plan to relax and recharge, and take time for simple pleasures. Will you join me?
National Compliment Your Mirror Day is a day to show ourselves some love and remind ourselves of how wonderful we are. Self-love is an area many of us—especially women—need a little help with. It’s time to challenge ourselves to reject unrealistic external standards and embrace our real beauty.
FOMO (fear of missing out)—it’s a term we hear all the time, but do you ever wonder why it has emerged as a big thing over the last few years? Today’s Simple Living Sunday post looks at the rise of FOMO and how you can say bye-bye to the stress of FOMO and hello to JOMO, its younger and brighter cousin.
