Practice the art of extreme self care.

The Best kind of day is when you wake up and know who you are, what you want and where you're going. You step in to that vision everyday knowing the end result. If you don't have any goals, I suggest you spend some time writing some out.

"If you don't know where you are going, you're already there"

Sometimes my thoughts jump all over the place. I'm not focused and my day doesn't go very well. Sound familiar? Maybe something happened I'm obsessing about or I slept in and fell off my routine or one of the kids are sick. We all have days when we get thrown off our path. I seem to have conversations I don't want to have with people I don't want to have them with. I seem to do things I don't want to do. I'm reluctant. Lots of maybe's but no definite Yes's.

We have to be really nurturing and kind to ourselves on these days. I have a list of enjoyable activities. Things I love to do. When I'm having a rough day, I engaged in these activities. I take a day or an afternoon off. I have a nap or grab a great book. I jump in my hot tub or go for a nice long walk. I go shopping and buy myself something special. I'll wash my car in the driveway or hang my bedding out on the clothesline. I'll flip through a recipe book and try making a new dish. Anything that is going to make me feel better, not worse. Enjoyable activities are the cornerstone of self-development. Be sure that you have your list ready. You never know when you are going to have another bad day.

Words to live by: This too shall pass.

Trans Activism

What walks like a teen fad and talks like a teen fad...is probably a teen fad. Celebrating trans is a growing trend and something I’m not okay with. But then again, I’m not a doctor set out to make millions off confused teenagers and desperate parents. I’m not big pharma that stands to make billions off these kids and the services including endocrinologists, sexual health physicians, speech pathologists, nurses, social workers, child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychologists. I feel sorry for the parents that must navigate this with their teenagers. As if raising kids isn’t hard enough. Am I the only one?  In Abigail Shrier’s book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our daughters she alerts us to the newest trend in internet support groups that indoctrinate young girls into believing gender identity as the root of all their problems.  If Shrier is right, a great many people have been complicit in practices that are proving very harmful to adolescent girls.

Exploring Climate Change

-
Climate policies must benefit people as well as the environment. Fixating on scary stories about climate change leads us to make poor decisions. One CTV news reporter posted an article recently titled, “Here’s what the era of global boiling means for Canada.” The media outlets have become activists, reinforcing the extreme language against the backdrop of these wildfires. Imposing higher taxes to alter weather patterns is not resonating positively with the public, causing it to become a point of contention. Can we at least admit that it is as much a political issue as it is an environmental one?   Differing perspectives on its causes and consequences spark heated debates worldwide. Right now, there is nothing even close to a consensus on the scope of the problem or the best way to solve it.  Am I the only One?   Greta Thunberg is the poster child for this movement, but I’d like a more credible spokesperson than this.  She is very likely to live a longer, more prosperous life than her

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a conference held every year in Davos, Switzerland where leaders around the world meet to address global challenges, share ideas, and promote cooperation on issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and technological advancements. Whether the WEF is seen as good or bad depends on individual perspectives.Opinions may differ based on political ideologies, personal beliefs, and experiences.  Supporters of the WEF argue that it plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue between various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, civil society, and academia. On the other hand, the WEF’s platform has faced criticism and argue that it primarily serves the interest of the wealthy elites and multinational corporations. The annual Davos gathering is predominantly attended by wealthy business leaders, politicians, and influential individuals, creating an exclusive environment that shuts out diverse voices and perspectives. Detractors argue
