The Art of Journalling Part 2: Look Back to Learn
Keeping a journal can be anything you envision it to be. Yes, it is an outlet for purging emotions, however, it can be so much more. Let your creativity have some fun with the process. After all, it is a chronicle of your life and there are many wonderful things that happen along the way. It doesn’t only have to contain all of the doom and gloom of the not so pleasant thoughts and events in our lives.

Success or Failure: It’s in the Eye of the Beholder
“Striving for superficial happiness seems to be the norm for defining success these days. And if we are unable to live up to that “vision” for some reason, we are deemed to be failures in the eyes of not only our consumer cohorts but, sadly, within ourselves as well,” writes Kylen O.

However, now I am saying “yes” to more things that scare me, whether that fear is legitimate or not. Slowly but surely I am facing some of my fears head on
Living Our Best Lives Now!
We often hear people say, “Well, I wouldn’t be who I am today without my past.” Yes, I would agree that we are products of the experiences that lay behind us; however, I would also argue that the past is not what defines who we are in this present moment.
The Re-(e)volution of Chivalry
The word chivalry has come to have many different meanings over the course of history. Its definition seemed greatly varied in written texts depending on the authors of the time, thus making its true meaning very elusive. Derived from the French “chevalier,” meaning knight, chivalry has long been associated with such knightly virtues as honour […]
The Big Question: What Will it Take to Make Earth Day Sexy?
Wouldn’t it be a fabulous world if everyone honoured Earth Day every day? It would certainly be in our global best interest if we did.
