He's a dog person, You're a cat person

Ok, do yourself a favour today and check out this blog! The Nielson family story is both inspiring and uplifting. Not to mention, her blog name is pretty cool :)

To my loyal readers, (ha ha ha)

I have one month left of school - I'll be back soon, posting entries that will surely be life altering.

Podcast

I've been obsessed with podcasts lately. A new one that I found today is The Nutrition Diva: Quick and Dirty Tips. If you're like me, itching to leap back onto the healthy wagon - check out this podcasts and learn a thing or two about sprouting grains or the truth about soy. What's cool about this podcast, is that it usually lasts only 2 minutes - perfect for your commute to work.

I am not a robot.... but I DO like them.

I have actually started collecting robots - in an attempt to satisfy my craving of the orderly world - a world that would be so organized and swift. I am though sadly not a robot (Sniff Sniff) - and have been silently repeating this to myself over the course of a year.

I am on a new journey - one that is filled hopefully with purpose and motion which can be felt. I hope to feel moments more deeply instead of just crossing them off my to-do-list (a disgusting crutch which I refuse to give up- EVER).

In order to live my life more fully, I have taken on a mini project which I hope to post for you in a month. It's a simple exercise of gratitude and reflection. For one month, you write down 5 things (small or big) that you are thankful for. I started two days ago and find this simple exercise makes me slow WAY down. And getting me to slow down is nothing short of a miracle. (writes the girl that's had 4 cups of coffee and is still up at 1:59 in the morning)

First Post

So, where do I start? 

I am a young lady (26)  living in a big city (Toronto) , who constantly struggles with the notion of "balance". (I was once referred to as a robot) What is balance anyway? And does anyone really have it in their lives?

How does a perfectionist, a go-getter, a coffee addict and a twenty something on the brink of graduation, obtain even an ounce of balance in a hectic, over-caffeinated world?

And so I begin my journey...
