Focus on Less

Focus on Less

It's a mindset, an attitude, a lifestyle. My current read is: Everything that Remains, a Memoir by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, also known as The Minimalists. If you haven't heard or checked them out, I totally encourage you to do so. They've got tons of resources and ideas that focus on minimalism - truly focussing on [...]

A Million-Piece Mosaic

A Million-Piece Mosaic

Photo: OAG Annex, Ottawa, ON. Ft. Art by Leenie Minifie. Ft. my cousin 🙂 Broken, damaged, cracked, shattered, to a million pieces. Started as a small crack in the mirror, eventually broke. How could the pieces be put together again? How could this broken piece of ugly be assembled back to its original design?

Stop. Wait. Then Go.

Stop. Wait. Then Go.

Gramps ❤ Cozmo is turning 11 years old in exactly 1 month. He used to be this energetic, spunky and charismatic pup, once upon a time. As the years and months go by, his excitement dwindled to a distressing bark, and a slight tail wag. He used to run to other dogs while we walked, and [...]

Which Car?

Which Car?

Just the other day, I had walked out of the gym thinking... which car did I bring today? (Since I'm home for the holidays and we end up playing musical cars - whichever car is out, that's the one you use). As I continued walking, I searched my gym bag I glanced at the keys and realized [...]

Lessons Learned in University, Thus far

Lessons Learned in University, Thus far

This post is inspired by BU's post on 'Things you Learn About Yourself while in University, by Abbey Morris. http://www.studentpowered.ca/things-you-learn-about-yourself-while-in-university/ In the last paragraph of this post, Abbey concludes, "Discovering who you really are is what university is all about." This is just SO TRUE. Hence the SUPER long delay on my next blogpost here. [...]

Hey followers! Anyone who knows what midterm season is like?

Making sense of life.

Hey Followers! To my Canadian followers, (and Canadians at heart) I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving weekend! It's Reading Week for me, so I'm pretty much in "vacation" mode, while finding myself kicking myself in the butt! I have work to get done man! LOL. It's all good, as long as you're able to balance it [...]

You got this ;)

You got this ;)

Hey followers! This September, I started off with a 'Reflection' post - looking back at how far I've come as an adult. (yeah, adult. not a teen, or a young adult -- an ADULT) It's been a month already, and this one song continues to come to mind: Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. This was my aunt's [...]

Take a step in faith. Trust that God has gone before you.

Lately, life has really been challenging me to ask myself questions about who I am, what I believe, why I do what I do. I guess you can say im having a little bit of an identity crisis. Thankfully, there's one thing that remained constant in attempting to answer my own questions. And that is the fact that [...]
