Anyone who knows me, or has followed this blog, knows I’ve always struggled with weight and being fit. It’s been a constant battle where sometimes I do well, even for long periods of time, but then something sets me back and I go back into my old habits.

Self Confidence
There are countless times throughout my life that I’ve let my lack of self confidence stop me from doing or trying things, especially when I was younger. One that really sticks out to me was the start of grade 11. I was starting at a new school and I thought I would try to makeContinue reading “Self Confidence”

Canadian Political Mess
Let me start by saying that by no means am I loyal to one political party in Canada. In fact, in the last three elections I have voted for three different parties. This current situation, which our elected leaders are putting us in, is completely ridiculous and just causes me to feel more anger towardsContinue reading “Canadian Political Mess”

Well winter is certainly out of the running but the other three all have their strong points.Spring means the end of winter, that in itself makes it a great season.
