Hi Reader, How has your week been? The weather in this part of the world has been a bit chilly lately, and yes, we’ve had our share of rain too ☔️ Perfect days to stay inside, read a book, and be cozy (I'm really good at doing that 😃). It made me think back to our first summer here in Canada, when we spent so many moments out sailing. If there’s one thing sailing has taught me, it’s that you rarely go in a straight line. The wind isn’t always in your favour. You adjust your sails, shift your weight, change direction, sometimes just to keep moving forward. Sure, you can turn on the motor and power through. You’ll get there faster, but you’ll also miss the whole point of sailing. And isn’t that how life and business work, too? We crave the straight line, the perfect plan, the predictable route, the control. But simplicity isn’t about forcing the fastest way forward. It’s about trusting the journey. When we let go of trying to make everything perfect, we make room for flow. For the unexpected wind shifts that carry us somewhere even better than we planned. For the quiet moments where the destination matters less than the experience. 🌬️ Notice where you’re “motoring” through life. What would it look like to ease off and let the wind guide you instead? So wherever you are right now, whether the wind is with you or against you, take a deep breath. Adjust your sails. Sending you fall greetings from Canada 🍁 Peggy I hope these stories reminded you that simplicity isn’t about doing less, it’s about creating more space for what truly matters. Next month, we’ll dive into a brand-new theme to close out the year powerfully. I can’t wait to share what’s next. 🌿 |

View in browser Hi Reader, This past week has been filled with conversations, organizing committees, team meetings, new projects… but also a simple conversation. We often think transformation comes from big events or dramatic breakthroughs ⛓️💥 But more often, it begins with a simple conversation (and a nice latte that goes with it ☕️)! The other day, I was chatting with a friend about life, you know, one of those unplanned, heart-to-heart talks that seem to happen when you least expect them....
View in browser Hi Reader, Fall has definitely arrived on Vancouver Island, and I’m loving the autumn colours. Last weekend, the weather was stunning; we even enjoyed sitting outside, and then, almost overnight, the temperatures dropped. I’m actually enjoying the change of seasons, though. 🍂 In today’s Backyard Gossip, I wanted to take you back to the theme of simplicity. Because sometimes, the simplest things make the most significant impact. On one of my weekly jogs, I passed a couple out...
View in browser Hi Reader, After last week’s email, some of you shared such thoughtful comments. One person compared repeating what works to putting your favorite song on repeat - you always hear something new, but the melody stays the same. 🎵 Someone else shared how they start with 15 minutes instead of 30 when building a walking habit, making it more manageable. And one reminded me that, yes, sometimes we love to complicate things with drama. (Guilty as charged 🤣). It made me realize...
