Here’s Why We Needed to Get to Whistler

By now you’ve probably heard Julio or I talking about our upcoming trip to the west coast for our wedding anniversary. This trip has become a tradition for us and one that I look forward to all year long. Whether it’s the distance from our day-to-day lives (and stress) or the energy that only the West coast is able to offer us, this helps us reset and refocus every time we visit. If you want to read about what we are up to in Vancouver this year, you can click here. But let’s talk about why we absolutely needed to get to Whistler this time around and why I can’t wait to see Julio’s face when he sees the mountains for the first time.

It’s The Magical Memories For Me

Well it’s that time of year again friends – the holidays are in full swing and I am HERE FOR IT. From tree lighting ceremonies to seeing window displays pop up at my favourite destinations in Toronto, I’m in the thick of it this year and it’s making me very happy to say the least. In hopes of inspiring you to live life more magically, I thought I would share a few things happening at one of my favourite places in the city that you can enjoy starting today and all season long. Because after all, it’s the most wonderful time of the year again!

And all of a sudden, it was gone …

For my fellow writers and creators, you’ll understand the stress I’m feeling lately.

The thickness in feeling stuck or going against your own current. The moment where your inspiration, energy and desire to create leaves you, and you don’t know when it will come back. Like a piece of you just stepped out for a minute and you’re left looking in the mirror, unsure of what is looking back. Maybe some of you will understand that feeling too. That moment, where all of a sudden, your spark was gone and you just felt stuck.

That Moment When I Realize I’m Almost Forty F*cking Years Old

Even writing those words feels simultaneously cathartic and strange. I think over the course of the pandemic and the past few years, I have been forced to stop and slow down in some capacities. I’ve made so many changes in the past year, let alone eight years, that I guess you could say that I’m kind of reeling from it all. In an effort to remind myself of my beauty and strength, as opposed to how I can often look at myself through a critical lens, I thought I would share thirty-eight reasons I’ll be smiling on my thirty-eighth birthday this year.
