What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Boundaries begin with me, and this year I am trying to stay focused and on track. For that to happen, I need to set boundaries. Boundaries are not selfish, in fact, sometimes they are necessity for time management and personal wellbeing. In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Links are in the show notes.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! What happens on the road stays on the road, right? Not always! After a brief hiatus from recording, I am back after 6,500 km's of road travel from BC to Yukon. It was quite a journey, and if I had more time, I'd share more stories. In today's episode you will hear my perspective of travel from Vancouver Island to the beautiful Yukon Territory. During travel I went for almost 5 days with no cell coverage, no internet and no use of electricity. I saw moose, porcupine, bison, deer, caribou, mountain goats, black bears, fox, coyotes and of course, our 13 year old poodle. It's amazing how a journey back to basics can rejuvenate your inner soul. This full length episode includes a musical interlude at the shores of Toad River, and a chat with a traveler from Lansing Michigan who shared the story of his flute. *Disclaimer: This is a hobby podcast. My thoughts are shared from my viewpoint and are not intended to solicit or discourage travel options. Suitable for adults due to a couple slips of "road travel" words.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! We all have a toolbox, or our "kit bag" full of tricks and things we have learned over the years. Sometimes we go through life using the wrong tools, and it makes the job harder. When we have the right support systems in place, whether it is physical tools or people, life is that much easier with more chance of success. In today's episode I talk about times when I took on tasks without the right tools, and also share my own experience with teaching others. Life is a one big learning curve, and each lesson we learn adds to our toolbox.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Life is a journey of goals and accomplishments. Buckets lists are a great way to forge ahead, overcome personal challenges and plan for happy moments. Whether it remains a dream or you have the joy of reaching a goal, bucket lists can bring a lot of joy. A key to keeping it happy is to keep it realistic without pressure. I brought a creative touch to this episode, as we travel on the Flight of Life. Sit back, relax, put on some earbuds and enjoy the ride. It's a shorter "flight" on this episode, but one with plenty to think about. Thanks for tuning in!

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Putting yourself down is not a means of being humble, it can actually cause poor self-esteem and convince yourself you are not worthy. It's ok to find joy in your accomplishments, and they don't always have to match what the person is doing next door. In this episode I talk about staying positive, accepting compliments, promoting self-esteem with people around us and simply finding the good in what you do and others do.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Newspapers and journalism have played a every important part in our lives. We are fortunate to have many dedicated people who work so hard to ensure we have knowledge of local, national and international events. Our method of receiving news is always changing with technology, but one thing that will never change is the real people behind the stories and voices. In today's episode I touch base on how much newspapers meant to me when I was growing up, and I share my gratitude for the people who work tirelessly to share important events. I also reflect on how fast stories can change if they are not told correctly, and give tribute to my friends at a local newspaper in my hometown where they are moving in new directions after 124 years in business.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! I am grateful to be back in the podcast chair today, and happy to be walking without crutches. In today's episode I chat about how I am finding myself thinking more about how we can help others, yet maintain a safe distance at the same time. When we are out and about doing errands, day to day life, we run into all kinds of personalities and situations. Until we have walked in someone's shoes, we simply can't imagine what they are going through, and sometimes we need to use our best judgment and know when to help, and when to walk away.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Curveball - can you catch it? Yup - I caught it and I'm ready to kick it in the butt, with the good foot, that is. Yup, this little old podcaster found herself in a bit of a pickle this past week and is now sporting the most elegant looking boot with styling crutches. Ok, a little exaggeration, but I have been off my foot for a week and I'm learning a lot about how much I took for granted. Perhaps this is a humbling experience for me, and it may help me to once again question if life lessons keep happening for a reason. I realize now that I took so much for granted, and it gives me so much more admiration for the strength of people who are dealing with much more serious situations.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Tea can be daily routine, cultural tradition or simply a great reason to relax, sip and snack. I attended a Mad Hatter themed tea party in April, and it was so much fun. Although I was a vendor on the market side, I discovered first hand just how much the tradition of tea is celebrated differently. There's more to afternoon tea than just tea, and believe me, I tasted a few of those desserts and it was sooo worth it. I dressed up in costume and took the opportunity chat with guests and other vendors. Of course if peaked my curiosity, and I wondered about the tea habits of my friends in the UK. *In this episode I talk about the Mad Hatter Tea Party event, touch base with the organizer to hear what inspired her, and even follow up with 4 lovely ladies from UK who give us a sneek peek at what tea means to them. *This is a nice, relaxing podcast episode. You may even want to pour a "cuppa", and relax while you listen. A little positive boost is always a good way to wrap up the day. *My sincere thanks to Lori Ball from the Comox Valley Home Based Business Association, my UK friends Lynne Webster, Nikki Talbot, Lyndsay Williams and Maureen Chadwick, and everyone who took the time to share stories or allow me photo ops at the event.

Coercive control has been around for years, yet there are many people who are not aware of what coercive means. Control that is beyond normal could be happening to a friend, relative, co-worker or perhaps even in your own household. In this episode I am joined by guest Jennifer C. Parker, M.S.S.W., author of Coercive Relationships, Find the Answers You Seek. We chat about what coercive control is, some of the signs and setting personal boundaries.

What Did You Think of This Epside? Send a text! Life is a balancing act, and often we discover that what is priority for us may not be of importance to another. Finding a common ground that works with family and friends can go a long way in nurturing friendships and personal care. In this episode I reflect on times when one priority was in fact supporting the role of another priority, with a reminder that life with loved ones is precious.
