    I'm speechless! This is despicable! How anyone can have this much hatred in their soul is beyond me. Especially aimed at vulnerable people and someone trying to spread hope and positivity. Please get yourself some help before you cause someone real harm.

Surviving the Winter Blues

Winter in Muskoka Lakes , Ontario , Canada . Photo credit to  Garry MacMillan Winter is a tough season for a lot of us.   Major Depressive Disorder with a Seasonal Pattern , formerly and more commonly known as  Seasonal Affective Disorder  or SAD - a seasonal form of  depression  - will affect approximately 15% of Canadians in their lifetime, according to the  Canadian Psychological Association . The short days, long nights, frigid temperatures and lack of sunlight during winter in northern countries prove to be troublesome for many, although people may suffer from the winter blues even in warmer climates. Some people may also experience season-linked depression in the summer , although most sufferers experience symptoms in the fall and winter months.  Symptoms of seasonal depression can include - but are not limited to - feeling sad, low energy, sleep problems, irritability, little desire to see people, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite or weight, and loss of interest in a

Journaling For Beginners

Image
It's no secret that I love journaling.   I've been doing it since I was a kid and have been consistently keeping journals since the year I turned fifteen. I started with simple personal journal entries and diary-keeping. Over the years, my journaling practice has expanded to include art journals, gratitude journals, spirituality journals, junk journals and more. Much of my journaling falls under the category of creative journaling and scrap journaling, which we'll discuss more in a bit. But first, let's cover some basics. The Basics What is journaling?  Simply put, journaling is the act of documenting your thoughts and feelings. Notice that there is no mention of fancy journals or notebooks, or even any mention of words or paper in that description.

I'm Back!

Image
A lot has happened since  my last blog post in February. I had every intention of posting something for the month of March and continuing my monthly posting schedule but I allowed life to distract me. During this impromptu hiatus, my personal life took me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride. As always, I chose to focus on the positives. I met some awesome people this year and went on some memorable adventures. I made exciting further progress with my OCD recovery, celebrated my 31st birthday with friends and family, went camping for the first time in almost 30 years, and came out as non-binary. I discovered that I have a lot of great people in my corner, and I'm so very thankful.  As the year draws to a close, I've been setting goals and plans in place for 2024 and I'm feeling optimistic. One goal I have is to return to writing monthly blog posts. Topic suggestions are welcome! Another goal I have is to get back into doing the things that bring me joy; things tha
