I’ve been thinking about why I’m obsessed with quotes. What is it about memorializing what people say and why am I always looking for pithy statements that capture a feeling? Is my obsession causing me to overlook other elements of writing…or is the reason for my obsession something deeper. I take words very seriously, through …
I listened to Jay Shetty interview Lewis Holmes on his podcast yesterday two things resonated with me: Holmes spoke to my core values – it’s hard (at least for me) to find someone that understands why I’m serious about my routines and habits…because who am I really impacting by journaling and roller-skating everyday? If I …
I finished reading a book by Dr. Edith Eva Eger yesterday. She is a Holocaust survivor, divorced and married the same man, had three kids, started going back to school at 32, and eventually obtained a doctorate in clinical psychology when she was 50-something. It’s one of those books that changes your worldview. When you …
Extremely random thought… Do you look at love and relationships as a one-time purchase model or a subscription? Let me explain. A one-time purchase is buying the whole iPhone vs. leasing the phone over 24 months or it’s buying the rights to own the software instead of paying for the service per month ex. Spotify/Apple …
I did an afternoon run yesterday and the sky was obscured by fog. Fog is one of my favourite meteorological phenomenons. It’s the special sci-fi movie effects for me. In life, we often plan for sunny days. We plan like we know all the variables of the future, it gives us a sense of purpose …

The classes started at 2pm and ended at 5:30pm. I got downtown around 12 ish and did …
Have you ever lost someone in your life? “Lost” can mean passed away, or broke up with, or lost touch with. Do you remember your last in-person interaction with them? Do you remember what they looked like? What they were wearing? How they looked at you? What did you talk about? How did that last …
I finished reading The Placebo is You by Dr. Joe Dispenza yesterday and it was another one of those books that jolts you out of your normal patterns of thinking and forces you to look at the world through a different lens. The premise of the book is how you can manifest your ideal future …
Today I went to my first hot yoga class in a long time (and at 9AM on a Saturday too!) I had two main takeaways from the class: 1) I have the most tension in my hips and shoulders 2) My flexibility has worsened 3) “soften your edges” I’ll elaborate on 3). I’ve always prided …
Good morning! Last year I signed up for a higher-end gym with the intention of improving my movement and flexibility. I justified the increased expense by going to less heels classes (waste less time commuting to Toronto and progressing very little) and attending more pilates classes, while still having access to the gym. Furthermore, I …
