    Best Inspirational Quotes About Being Different – For Misfits and Rebels

    March 2, 2020 /

    Here’s to Being Different and having the strength to stand strong in a world that makes you feel often as if you need to conform. What a dull place the world would be without unique and rare thinkers. Last month, my inspirational mental health quotes post did really well. So, with that in mind and because I love creative thinkers, here’s the Best Inspirational Quotes About Being Different. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers.

    Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day

    February 12, 2019 /

    “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn has a lot of great quotes, but this one is my favourite.  What could be more worthy of celebrating than love? Lately I’ve been thinking about love. There’s love for your husband or wife, significant other; love of your children, your family, parents, and friends. Love of yourself matters too.  There are so many different kinds of love, but ultimately love is the thing that motivates us every day. We search for it, and sometimes we let it slip through our fingers, but on Valentine’s Day the best thing to do is celebrate it. This year I have…

    Make a Statement with Teleflora’s Valentine’s Day Bouquets

    February 6, 2019 /

    Is there any flower prettier than a red rose? Well, maybe lilies with red roses and carnations. Yeah that’s a Valentine’s Trifecta of gorgeous blooms right there. Valentine’s Day bouquets are a great way to let that special someone in your life know just how special they really are. Most years, my husband gets me a lovely bouquet. Occasionally I receive jewelry too. I am, as well all know by now, someone who LOVES flowers and jewelry. You simply can’t go wrong with either. To be completely transparent he often buys a lemon merengue pie too, because that is our favourite. I love them so much because it shows that my…

    American Heart Month – Give a Piece of Your Heart

    February 22, 2018 /

    This post was written by me through an activation with HireInfluence on behalf of BIOLIFE4D. Although I received compensation for participating in the campaign, all thoughts and opinions are my own. The human heart is a miraculous and precious thing. It is the engine that sets the rhythm for your day. At roughly the size of a fist, it’s much smaller than you might have imagined. It is often a cartoon caricature this time of year and frequently it is the subject of so many love songs. Your heart also demands care and attention, like a high end sports car. It keeps your blood flowing and faithfully helps your body…

    Love Out Loud with Teleflora for the Holidays

    December 8, 2017 /

    Love out loud. Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate all your loves. Around Thanksgiving we start reflecting in earnest on the year that has gone by and the spirit of gratitude and thankfulness is high. It would be lovely if that was the case all year round but sometimes we need reminders of what we are grateful for. That’s sort of what Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign is about. Gratitude, thankfulness and love. Love Out Loud is more than the tag line for Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign. The idea has been around forever, as long as love has existed. Live out Loud and Love Out Loud sort of mean the same thing to me.…

    What I Love About Mom book – Treasured Gifts

    I need to tell you about one of the best gifts I have received this year. This adorable tiny What I Love About Mom book. What’s so unique about this fill in the blank journal gift? Read on to find out. This past month I celebrated my birthday. I am a July baby. For the first time ever I was away from my family on the day itself and in fact was zip lining with Ziptrek tours in The Laurentians, Mont Tremblant, Quebec. That was a great day and one of the most memorable ways I have ever spent my birthday.   Still it was a bit hard being away…

    Stop Telling Me How To Do Summer – My Summer Mantra

    July 10, 2017 /

    I have a summer mantra this year. It’s a little bit like this You do you and I’ll do me. It’s definitely not new. It’s mine, and I don’t really care to hear anyone else’s opinion about how I do summer. YOU DO YOU. See, I wish I actually didn’t need to say this out loud. But get your hands off my summer. You do you. My summer mantra. YOU do your summer and I’ll do mine. This past two weeks since school ended, I’ve heard a zillion experts and read dozens of posts about people taking back their summer. Usually that involves terms like let your children discover the great…

    Happy Heart Health Month – Facts About This Vital Organ #ad

    February 1, 2017 /

    This post has been generously sponsored by Bayer.  Heart Health is incredibly important to me. Why is that? Well, a few years ago I had a high blood pressure reading, followed by another one and so on until I was worried I’d need regular high blood pressure medication. I narrowly turned that around with lifestyle changes and my wireless home blood pressure monitor, but I still monitor it. But heart health remains top of mind for me daily. This month everyone has hearts and love on their mind. Every single store is full of heart shaped chocolates and pillows and candies. Romantic love is celebrated and Valentine’s cards are shared. Maybe…
