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 Hi Reader, Last Saturday, I found myself running out the door in a hurry. I had to get to my IELTS test on time. (No, it's not a contagious disease, don't worry 😅 It's one of the official English language tests you can take to sort out documents. In my case, for my Canadian Post Graduate Work Permit.) Once I was on the road, I did what I usually do when I'm driving: I reached for my phone to call my mom. Except… my phone wasn't there. It was still at home 🙃 There was no time...
View in browser Hi Reader, Peggy doesn't like uphills. And uphills don't like Peggy 😅 (And no, I can't just find a flat trail. Nanaimo is hilly.) Let me back up. As you might know, I'm back to jogging after my ankle recovery. The goal? 5K under 33:33 (yes, I like a very specific number 🤓). For now, I'm walking and jogging. And it's going pretty well… Until I hit an uphill. Then… I struggle. Same story with cycling. There's no "beam me up, Scotty" option here (Google this if you have...
View in browser Hi Reader, A friend of mine shared something recently that's been rattling around in my head ever since, and yes, I asked permission to share 😉 Something she'd been working on hadn't gone the way she'd hoped. She was disappointed. Really disappointed. When she got home that evening, her father asked if she was ready to listen. And when she nodded, he said: "You know how to do the work. Now you need to learn how to get the work done." Let that sit with you for a moment. Because...
