Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
Although the holidays are done and dusted, it doesn’t mean you should stop partying – does it? I’m pretty sure that we could all come up with a plethora of different excuses to keep eating great food, socializing and possibly drinking a glass of wine (or 3). So isn’t it time to host your next gathering? And while you’re at it, why not impress your guests, but also be good to the planet too? It’s a win-win, Captain Planet.

We’re in the thick of winter here in Canada, where there’s no locally grown produce in sight. I need to be honest – I miss fresh fruits and veggies. Shopping at the grocery store isn’t the same as heading to the farmers’ market to pick up fresh produce grown in a neighbouring town. If you live in a snowy climate, then you get where I’m coming from. My body craves these nutrients, but they’re more difficult to come by; that’s why I like to supplement with a greens or superfoods powder over the winter. They’re nutritionally dense and support many bodily functions including digestion, immunity and hormones. Plus, they always make my hair and nails healthier and I sleep better too.
As a new year winds up, I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for the opportunities offered to me over 2017. I have experienced tremendous growth in my professional life, accomplishing many goals I once only dreamed about. I made sure I took time over the holidays to slow down and celebrate all of the small and big wins of 2017.
Recently on Insta stories, I confessed that it’s been a challenging time for me. Well, that’s an understatement. Life has hit me hard recently, both personally and professionally. I’ve never faced so many challenges at once, that it’s literally put this uber organized, master planner in commission, as I try to muster up the energy to think or plan past next week.
If it weren’t for my best friend, my twin flame, my sister – who has earned a doctorate in phycology by just listening to me vent, cry, stress out, and analyze my life from every angle possible (on a daily basis) – I don’t know where I’d be. Not only has she prevented twin flame failure when I let us start to separate, she also helped me to keep my life together.
While I could sit here and tell you about all the challenges that I’ve been navigating through for the past few months – but I think I’m better served at reflecting on what I’ve come to realize about myself through these moments of heartbreak and disappointment.
I don’t like change. Continue reading “Comfort Zone”
