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 🇨🇦

View in browser Hi Reader, Last Friday, the second Friday of January, is also known as Quitter’s Day. The day most people quietly let go of their New Year’s resolutions, yes, it's a thing 🙃 I wrote a full blog post about why this happens (you can read it here if you’re curious). But what really stood out to me this week wasn’t the statistics, it was the conversations. In several coaching sessions and in a few casual chats, the same theme kept popping up: 👉 we often forget why we started in...

View in browser Hi Reader, It feels good to sit down and write the very first Backyard Gossip of 2026. Our travels to Belgium were really special. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, especially when living between countries, it’s this: time together has to be quality time. We organize our visits so we can truly be present, and we love sharing experiences rather than rushing from place to place. So that’s exactly what we did. We shared moments with friends and family, went to a...
