Winter can be a hard time for some people, including our loved ones. Some tips to help you stay happy and healthy during this new season: -Exercise; With a lack of sunshine to keep you energized, it's tempting to want to spend your evenings hibernating under the covers instead of being active. But remember, exercise is known to increase your levels of serotonin and endorphins, leading to a happier mood. While it's understandable that many people are less than keen about parti...cipating in outdoor activities during these chilly months, keep in mind that there are many ways to keep active while staying indoors. - Socialize; Building and maintaining social networks is an important way to keep a positive outlook. When you're feeling down, it's natural to want to isolate yourself from others. But spending time with family, friends, and other people is a sure way to lighten your mood. Try joining a weekly art class or volunteering for a local organization. -Take vitamin D; In the summer, we normally get the vitamin D we require from the sun. However, you may not be getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D during the winter because of decreased exposure to sunlight. Many studies have suggested a link between vitamin D deficiency and poor mood. Although more research is needed to confirm that this vitamin can lift your mood, supplementing with vitamin D during

Today is World Kindness Day! What is the purpose of World Kindness Day? Objective.

I will be picking 3 team members to call today, my goal? To make them smile, to thank them for everything they do for their clients and hopefully bring them some joy!

A few shots (and thoughts) of ME! As I look back at the last year and a half I truly cannot believe this is who I am today. What do I mean by that? I left Calgary, a co-worker, an employee, stressed, struggling; someone who never thought I could OWN my own business; not in a million years. My confidence just wasn't there, I was someone who was a follower. I didn't see myself as a leader.... I wasn't very creative, I had just started marketing and doing social media for the Calgary Comfort Keepers, Comfort Keepers - Home Care Services Calgary, AB I do not mean to put myself down, but instead I wanted to reflect on the last year, and how I have grown. Looking at these photos makes me see I am a new version of ME; I am creative, I LOVE marketing and networking, I AM a leader. The future is unknown, but what I do know is that I am very proud, grateful and happy with my journey. The fact I am even posting this, shows how much I have grown...... I have many people to thank for helping me along the way, I wont list them here as there are just TOO many to thank. You know who you are; I TRULY wouldn't be here without your support, venting sessions, training, education, feedback and criticism, pushing me past my comfort zone, and simply LOVING me. Thank you to Heather Doughty for helping capture this person I have become! You are an amazing human being and I am so thankful to know you and your talent. Also thank you Heather for capturing our boy BILL! Gray ran and hid, but our Bill LOVES people. I think he takes after his mom (lol). More pictures to follow, but here is a sneak peak!

Sunday SHARE: I wanted to share a little bit about me... I have suffered with food sensitivities and allergies my whole life. It affects my body, my emotions and overall health. I think I was about 3 years old when my parents realized there was something wrong with what I was eating......... I remember my mom being so frustrated with the lack of information available and the doctors not knowing what to do and what to feed me that she just fed me potatoes and meat! Food sensitivities are much more common now and getting easier to deal with....... I wanted to shed light on my good friend's new business adventure and a lifesaver Diane!!! Diane Couse, Food Sensitivity Coach has been so helpful the last few months as I have been struggling with a wave of frustration with foods where I cannot seem to eat anything. Diane has put together lists of what I can eat, and what foods to avoid, given me tips and many tricks!. Working with doctors, naturopathic doctor and Diane have made my stomach very happy these last few months! If you struggle with foods, or even your diet, and need some help, guidance or direction..... I highly recommend Diane..... check out her website for more details! https://www.foodsensitivitycoach.ca/ A HUGE thank you for Diane's assistance as I work through my new food routine :) Peterborough Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Network of Peterborough
