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?

Last night, the Northern Hemisphere said good-bye to summer and hello to fall. Here in Ontario, Canada, the Autumn Equinox took place at 9:03 pm. Although many people are sad to see the end of summer, fall is my favourite time of year for so many reasons.
Today, we kick off the season with 31 ideas for fun fall activities.
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.
