Note From The Editor

This is a safe place for us to learn how to feel good about ourselves, grow together and do a little retail therapy once in a while— because we deserve it! xx

It means no worries [according to my kids]… And that’s the goal…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life can be stressful— take it in stride.
Kids can be difficult— give them love.
Work can be exhausting— take a break.
Your spouse can be irritating— see the good.
Family can be distant— reach out.
Goals can feel unattainable— keep trying.
Expectations can be let down— change them.
Love can be tricky— give it more time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are merely suggestions—
Thoughts in case you don’t know what to think—
Bottom line is—
Do what is best for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A wise man once said 2 simple words—
Be Happy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BabaJi— I love you, I miss you, you are forever in my heart.

Is it really mid-September? Are my kids really back in school? Is more than half of my maternity leave really over? Am I seriously thinking about Halloween costumes and Christmas presents? Are this years warm, t-shirt wearing days turning to scarves and fallen leaves— already? Is it just me or has this year flown by so far?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I have have managed to add to my schedule this year is a slower pace. I still can’t understand how we used to do it all pre-pandemic. I remember having a schedule that was down to 15 minute intervals— whirlwind morning, breakfast, walk to school for drop off, run a hundred errands at hundred places, then school pick up, the gym, take one kid to an activity while Dad takes the other, then snack in the car, then play date, then home for dinner, then bath, so on & so forth all day every day. It’s seemed so normal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when the pandemic happened we were forced to slow down, spend time together, not go out, not be so regimented and that is the silver lining for me amid all the uncertainties. Trying to keep that wellness train going and focus on the good vibes only.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were all anxiously waiting for 2020 to end and 2021 to show up so we could get a fresh start but it seems pretty much the same to me, no? So we can’t keep waiting for the change— just gotta make it happen 👊🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throw on your fall gear and enjoy this quintessential Raincouver weekend— because no rain, no flowers, right? 🌧

Happy Friday friends! 🤍

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one isn’t going to be for everyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s aggressive. It’s gritty. It’s angry. But it’s my [open] journal so I’m going to get all the feelings out. I’m venting. And venting is good for the soul. It provides a sense of relief; like a weight being lifted. And I’m all for practices that help take the pressure off the heart and mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this might not be for you but it makes me feel better to say it out loud. It makes me feel better that someone might read this and think twice before making a hurtful comment. It makes me feel better that someone reading this might finally feel seen and validated. It makes me feel better that I’m doing a small part in making the world a more equal place for my daughters and yours. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

Last weeks Dear Diary post was welcomed and applauded by so many of you— for that I am so beyond appreciative. Your support means so much to me especially when telling such an uncomfortable & emotional story. But what you may not know is it also came with a few uncomfortable interactions, phone calls, discussions— with those that felt the need to ask me “ummmm well you weren’t talking about me were you?”… If you’re asking me [or yourself] that question then yes, I was talking about you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I say this all the time because it’s true— I don’t like to stir up 💩. I have seen through the years, after having made mistakes and learning from them, that its best to stay out of conflict as much as possible. I don’t gossip. I don’t dive too deep into someone else’s personal life. I may not agree but I try my best to respect others opinions and stances on certain topics. I pride myself on being a good listener and keeping the contents of that conversation to myself. But, like with most things in life, there is a time and a place to step outside your norm. I may be low on the “disturbing the peace” & “rocking the boat” scale but when it comes to my kids, my family, MY life I’m not hear to please anyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And neither should you. If you have that constant nagging in your life— that person that loves to poke you unnecessarily, just to make you uncomfortable or take you down a notch— F#%$ them! Your life is yours to live the way you want. And you only get one life so live it, happily. 🤍

Dear Diary - No. 5 dropping tomorrow.. 📝

Let’s start this week off with a little something sweet 🍪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Received a couple DMs this past week asking about the cookie recipe I posted about— DW it’s easy.. I’m not a baker or a cook and these are delish every time 🤤 Even my picky eater loves them so you know they must be good 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this post so you can refer back to it when you have that yummy cookie craving! And remember to tag me so I can see how it all turned out.. 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy Your Monday, Cookie Monsters! 🤍
