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 something: We often do the exact same thing with self-care. We overcomplicate it. We think it has to be a perfect morning routine, a spa day, or a long yoga session. And then when we can’t live up to that version… we don’t do it at all. But here’s the truth: Self-care doesn’t need to be complex. It just needs to be consistent. For me, that looks like my golden rule: 10 minutes. Ten minutes outside walking is enough to tick my #walkingeverydamnday box. And I use the same rule for my mornings: 10 minutes of reading, journaling, or meditation is enough to start my day with intention. If I want to keep going, great. But if not, I’ve already succeeded. Because the minimum counts. And often, the minimum is what keeps us moving forward. So here’s your reminder: Self-care isn’t about big, complicated plans. It’s about choosing something simple, doable, and repeating it, until it becomes part of you. Call to action: 💬 What’s your version of “10 minutes”? Hit reply and tell me the simplest self-care practice you can put on repeat. Sending you fall greetings from Canada 🍁 Peggy xo P.S.

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, The other day, I picked up a copy of one of my favourite magazines, Breathe magazine. My neighbour found out that I love reading it and handed me an old copy she still had lying around. And I noticed something that shocked me at first. They had published the exact same article about building new habits in both issues. Word for word. Same tips, same examples. The only difference? The two issues were five years apart. At first, I thought: How could this beautifully...
View in browser Hi Reader I just came back from a two-week break. No big trip. No grand adventures. Just a slower pace. The MBA semester has started again, and before diving back into the full swing of classes, I savoured some simple joys, like my Wednesday morning ritual. Every week, for 8 weeks straight, I joined a sunrise paddleboard group. No phone. No notifications. Just good company, water, light, and the quiet strength it takes to balance. 🌅 And honestly? That simplicity has been...
