Every week, I share a story from ordinary life that made me stop, laugh, think, or occasionally question what on earth I was doing. From running into spider webs and taking the elevator after the gym, to entrepreneurship, choices, courage and figuring out what we actually want next. No five-step formulas, no pretending I have it all figured out. Just real stories, honest observations and the occasional question that might stay with you longer than expected.
It's All About Perspective ☃️ vs 😤

Hi Reader While I'm typing this, I'm drawn to look outside and see that the snow outside is slowly melting. We had some serious snowfall past Monday and Tuesday. So much so that even the university was closed for two days, and it turned out to be too dangerous to get there (the University is situated on a hill, and the road towards it tends to get icy). I loved it—not that the University was closed; we still had online classes—but the snowfall made everything turn white. One of my neighbours said, "It's a marshmallow world we live in when the snow covers the ground." I didn't realize how much I've missed this in the past few years (if you are following me, I just moved to Canada 🇨🇦) and how soul-nourishing it is. Everything seems so quiet as if they turned down the volume, and it's also so much brighter. But not everyone shared my love for Winter Wonderland 🤷🏼♀️. Probably because after they shovelled their driveway, it was completely covered again 😆 Or maybe they had no other option than to drive in the snow to get to work, and the roads were really slippery. I can tell you that everyone at the Alpine Resort Mt. Washington were very happy with the snowfall (yes, we went skiing as well), and the snow removal companies are probably sending out their invoices as we speak 😏 It just shows that it all depends on your perspective. What suits you might not suit someone else, but a change of perspective might make you appreciate their point of view a bit more. So, my question to you is: Is there something that, by shifting your perspective slightly, you can see from a different angle and maybe even appreciate? I would love to hear from you about what that might be! Just hit reply, and you'll create a direct link to me. Sending you love from Canada 🇨🇦 Peggy P.S.

View in browser Just a heads up Reader, this is a longer read but an intriguing one! At least that's how I see it 🤭 Here we go... It’s going fast! And no, I’m not talking about the fact that it’s already October or that the shops are filling up with Christmas decorations. Although, seriously, where did this year go?! 🤣 No, I’m talking about the rapid pace at which artificial intelligence is becoming part of our everyday lives, whether we like it or not.

View in browser Hi Reader, Well, the last Backyard Gossip was about the difference between “I should,” “I want to,” “I am going to,” and eventually being able to say… I DID it. Apparently, I should take my own writing a little more seriously because there is something rather significant I’ve been meaning to share for a while now. I finished my MBA! 🎓 I’ve actually had about four opportunities to tell you this. When I found out I’d made the Dean’s Honour List. When my final grades came in....
