I’ve come to the realization that I spend more time sitting at my computer than I should. As much as I’d like to admit that I can live without internet, it’s become a vital vein in my existence. It’s my source of communication with family and friends, a never-ending source of information and news updatesContinue reading “Interruption disruption”

The worse they can say is ‘no’
Whether it’s a raise, a new opportunity, a sale or even just a favour, the fear of asking is real. You know the feeling. The knot in your stomach, the racing heart, the endless mental rehearsals that inevitably lead to self-doubt. You might feel uncertain, nervous or even a little embarrassed about putting yourself outContinue reading “The worse they can say is ‘no’”
Listening… essential for your body, too!
Happy 2026! As I kick off my first post of the year, I’m excited to continue my theme of communication. Communication isn’t just for business—it’s a life skill. It’s not only about how we write or share information, but also about how well we listen and understand others. And listening isn’t limited to spoken words;Continue reading “Listening… essential for your body, too!”
The joy of a hug
Do people seem more huggy at this time of the year, or is it just me? Personally, I’m not a “hugger.” It’s something I’m working on though. As the holiday season approaches, hugs become more than just a gesture — they’re part of the magic that makes this time of year so special. Whether it’sContinue reading “The joy of a hug”
The recipe rumble
One of the things I’m doing more often now that I’m older is baking. Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes it’s a little more challenging. I recently tried to follow a recipe I found online for gourmet cookies. It looked easy enough—just a few steps, a nice photo, and a promise of “foolproof results.” I pulled itContinue reading “The recipe rumble”
Writing is never static
Writing has always been my sanctuary—a source of calm and mental clarity. In one of my earliest blog posts over four years ago, I shared, “There’s something therapeutic about getting your thoughts on paper, or in this case, online.” That sentiment still rings true. Today, I paused to reflect on the journey. I started bloggingContinue reading “Writing is never static”
Why we work better together
Working alone sounds efficient, but without support from others who share your goals or challenges, it’s hard to stay inspired. Collaboration brings fresh ideas, shared experiences and the motivation to keep going. Isolation might get the job done—but connection gets it done better. I still remember the energy of being in the office, surrounded byContinue reading “Why we work better together”
Are you a planner or a chaos master?
There are times when I want more information about what’s going on, and other times, I want to dive right in and figure it out as I go. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t and I gain valuable experience. It’s important to embrace different processing styles. In any setting—work, home, or an impromptu road trip—peopleContinue reading “Are you a planner or a chaos master?”
It’s plain and clear
I’m working on Presentation Mastery. It’s a path in the International Toastmasters Pathway’s Program. My objective is to deliver a persuasive speech. Persuasive speeches can be used to inspire, convince or as a Call to Action. My first thought was, what am I passionate about that I can persuade an audience? Then I realized, it’sContinue reading “It’s plain and clear”
New business. New adventure.
As I wrap up another day of meetings and planning, I’m reminded that building a business takes perseverance and time. Every call and every meeting is another step forward and a learning experience. Starting and growing a business is a challenging journey; one that requires you to stay positive. You have a plan and you’llContinue reading “New business. New adventure.”
