Some might say that our life is made up of squares - lots of them. We fill them in with appointments and work and events. Some of us fill up every square and others of us try and leave as many of them as possible empty. When talking about simplifying our life,...

During my teenage years my mom would regularly ask me to clean and declutter the garage; by regularly I mean every six months. She wouldn't ask my brother, or my sister, or my dad, only me. Let me tell you, our garage needed decluttering. It was a mess on good days....

It's the last day of the year. This day creeps up on us...oh...every year. It never fails. We are given one day to look back before we cross over to what is a New Year. Does it really matter? Can we be defined by a day on the calendar? Should we even stop to reflect...

What was your first job? Did you like it? Was it a grind? Is your job still a grind? Everyone has a different opinion on their work or their work place. Some love it, some hate it. Do you know that we spend 1/3 of our life at work? Because our work consumes roughly...

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, it's hard not to notice what's been going on with the Toronto Blue Jays this year. After some mid-season trades the Jays have become the best team in baseball in the second half of this 2015 season. If you're on any type of...
