Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in Canada. This wonderful holiday gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the blessings and joys in our lives. I wrote about gratitude in one of my first Simple Living Sunday posts, so today I’ll share a brief history of this holiday in Canada.
Simple Living Sunday – Invest in your healthy lifestyle
How much time do you invest in your health? It’s your most valuable asset, yet people often neglect it while pouring endless energy into building material wealth. Without health, though, money is useless.
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.
Simple Living Sunday – You’re never too old to dream
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?
Simple Living Sunday – Respect and the golden rule
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.
Simple Living Sunday – Words of encouragement
Tomorrow 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 Simple Living Sunday 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 tomorrow!
Simple Living Sunday – Can quiet quitting boost productivity?
As we celebrate Labour Day in North America, a new 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?
This week’s Simple Living Sunday post looks at ways to boost your productivity.
Simple Living Sunday – On freedom and individual rights
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.
Simple Living Sunday – Choose the right influencers for your life
Who do you allow to influence you? In our consumption-driven society, the term influencer has become synonymous with consumerism and keeping up with the Joneses Kardashians.
This week’s Simple Living Sunday post explores the rise of influencer marketing, and how you can reject it and choose the right influencers for your life.
Simple Living Sunday – Celebrating Never Give Up Day
Life can be tough. Some days, it’s hard to find the motivation to keep going. To celebrate Never Give Up Day on August 18, this week’s Simple Living Sunday post is all about perseverance. Read on for tips to help you know when it’s time to dig in and keep going, and when it’s okay to walk away.
Simple Living Sunday – Hello from Toronto
Hello everyone! This week’s Simple Living Sunday post is coming to you from Toronto, Ontario—Canada’s biggest city. As I mentioned last week, I’ve been travelling the last couple of weekends so I’m taking a break from my usual Sunday posts.
