Life on 1.5x ⏩
|
Hi Reader, Sometimes you just want to change the speed of time. You know exactly what I mean. You're watching a webinar, and you bump it up to 1.5x. Maybe you even push it to 2x, slap on the subtitles… and then realize you have no clue what's being said, so you slide it back down to 1.5x again 😅 I'm pretty sure people have done that to me when they're trying to digest what I share in my programs. And there I am on the other side, trying my best to speak slowly 🤪 Anyway… These past two weeks, I've been on a much-needed break. Filled with connections, adventures, and quality time. We went to Vancouver to renew my international passport and took a floatplane to get there. A short 15-minute flight… and it was lovely. It reminded me of the days I used to fly myself. Back when I could call myself a pilot 🛩️ (maybe one day I'll pick it back up). And somewhere between the cockpit memories and the city skyline below, I caught myself thinking: I wish I could slow these past two weeks down. But then… I had to laugh. Because there are also plenty of moments where I'd give anything to speed time up. So which is it? Imagine if life had a speed dial. Like an old radio knob. Just turn it left or right, and you'd decide how fast or slow a moment unfolds. A tough conversation? 2x. A walk with someone you love? 0.5x. Tax season? Honestly… just skip it 😏 Of course, there's a catch for the procrastinators out there: you'd just end up putting everything on 0.5x and never quite getting to it. (Hmm… maybe the dial isn't such a great idea after all 🤣) But it does make me wonder… Or maybe… you actually like the pace of life just the way it is? Either way, it's worth pausing to ask. Anyway, off for my walk-jog now. And yes… that's definitely one I'd happily set to 1.5x 😆 Chat next week, Peggy 🌿 P.S. Where in your life would you turn the dial right now, slower, faster, or right where it is? Backyard Gossip | Stories about life, business & the spaces in between |

View in browser Hi Reader, Last Saturday, I joined the brand new Beban Parkrun here in Nanaimo for the first time. I'm not new to Parkrun. We used to go regularly when we lived in South Africa, and I still have some lovely memories from those mornings 🏃♀️ This is me 👇🏼, 10 years ago with Wis (the then pup of very close friends of mine), you can tell from my red face this picture was taken after the Parkrun 😆 But this time was a little different. I'm slowly getting back to jogging after...
View in browser Hi Reader, Last week, I shared the story of my old bicycle and how a quick visit to the bike shop turned my sweaty 40-minute commute into a smooth 26-minute one. But something else happened that I really didn't see coming. Honestly, the reason I decided to cycle to the Chamber of Commerce wasn't profound. It was practical. I knew that if I didn't build movement into my day, I simply… wouldn't. (Anyone else? 😅) So cycling became my one-hour daily guarantee. But what surprised...
View in browser Hi Reader, Three weeks ago, I started my MBA internship at the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce. (And no, before you ask, the electric bike still hasn't happened 😅) The office is about 7 km from home, so I figured… time to dust off the old bicycle. Pedal power straight from the legs. How hard could it be? Well… let me paint the picture. Out of 24 gears, I could only use about 1/3 of them. And in case you've never been here, Nanaimo is not flat. I needed every single one of...
