If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right. – Mary Kay Ash It’s kind of strange that when we look at and examine the concept of “feeling self confident” it also tends to trigger feelings of guilt, shame or negativity. We have been conditioned (and I mean this as […]

“But I Just Don’t Have Time”…
Parkinson’s law is the adage that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”. For example, when you find yourself somehow getting all the house cleaning done that you’ve been putting off for days, in a matter for 30 minutes because you know you have company coming over.

Little Things
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” – Agatha Christie Being at home a LOT more than normal lately has let me experience things differently, so here are some small […]
While I don’t like to dwell on the “negative” during times of trial, I think it’s safe to say there are things that we miss. It’s healthy and safe to acknowledge them – and to see what we have a new found appreciation for, now that we are to do without. Eggs. Seriously. Since March […]

Fighting Fatigue
For the last week or so, I have been incredibly tired. Drained. Exhausted. Sometimes it’s easy to write things off as “everyday life” and something that we should just “get over” and let go of. We get shamed into diminishing our own stress, and are taught that “busy” people are the “bosses” of the (mostly […]
I don’t know about anyone else – but I HATE the word “mentee” and the word “tasker/s”. These are VERY prevalent in my workplace and I would guess they are most likely quite common in any office based setting – however they make me cringe whenever I hear them. I come from the (argument) camp […]
Frequently we are guilt-tripped into feeling like somehow we aren’t allowed to be better. We get into this stale mindset and are convinced that we’re either 1. fine the way we are or 2. we should be spending our time, energy, or resources on “more important” things for our families, relationships, job or community.

Culinary School
Fun fact: I went to culinary school! I have a Bachelors in Hospitality, Food & Beverage Management and an Associates in Culinary Arts – from what feels like a whole other life almost now. That’s me in the picture below, in my senior practicum course of my culinary arts program! It’s funny because I think […]
The above picture/quote is from James Clear, author of the book Atomic Habits. Much like the picture at the end of this post – there is a lot more to life than just saying “yes” to everything. Saying “yes” will get you tons of opportunities and probably lead down many avenues that would have otherwise […]
