A Glowup So Impressive, You Have to See it To Believe it

As many of you know, I travel to Toronto often for work and to see close friends that I have made over the last 9+ years that I have been blogging. When I can, I need to rest my head in a beautiful hotel that is conveniently located in the city. Well, if I had to pick there’s not one hotel more convenient or known in the downtown core like Sheraton Centre Toronto. Recently the hotel celebrated its 50th anniversary and the completed of a multi-million, multi-year renovation that you absolutely have to see in person to take in all that beautiful grandiosity.

Like I’ve Been Holding My Breath All Along

I think I’ve been starting at my computer screen for days. A thought sparks in my brain about what I want to write about, or what deal I need to get started on, and for the first 30 seconds I get going and it’s magic.

Shortly after I find myself distracted and pulled in another direction. I want to be simultaneously blogging, creating REELs, sending invoices, actually figuring out what the fuck I’m doing with myself these days, spend time with Julio, drink wine, talk to my friends, pay down some bills, workout. That’s just to name a few of the thoughts and directions I am pulled in at any given time of day.

Some might say I’m in the midst of an epic burnout (again), but the fact remains that any business owner lives this every day. Big, small, entrepreneur and everything in between. Working for yourself may seem fabulous but it’s a lot of juggling and just keeping your head above water. Like I am holding my breath and hoping for this rough patch to just finally be done.

Not EXACTLY How I Saw This Year Going

As with most of my more vulnerable and honest blog posts, I am often back and forth on if I want to hit publish at all. While I love that I can sit here and share (sometimes too much ) with you my darling reader, the vulnerability it takes to pull the curtain back and share the whole picture is at times overwhelming.

I want to say that everything in my life is perfect and it’s all smiles and big pay cheques with brand partners, but in reality it’s far from that. And I am sitting at my dinning room table in July of 2022 feeling like I’ve failed in several ways this year and all over again.

Let’s Take a Walk Down Memory Lane

I almost always laugh when I see memes about bloggers and how they take you on a long winded story before they get to the point of the blog post or the recipe they are sharing – you know the ones! While I know that I can be long winded I do hope that if you’re sitting down to read this right now it’s because I bring a certain pizaz to my writing that you enjoy and that resounds with you. Be it your first time on the blog or you’ve been with me since day one nine and a half years ago. Well my friends, today I’m going to embody that stereotype for the purpose of giving you a glance into who I was many moons ago vs who I am today and you’ll understand why we took a walk down memory lane.
