laser eye surgery is my thing

May 13, 2022May 11, 2022 Shauna

I have been pretty much blind for forever. Not *actually* blind. I can see. It's just that I have to wear coke-bottle thick glasses or very strong contacts to do it. Me with my glasses. And my cat looking like a rabbit. And wine. I got my first pair of specs in Gr. 4, but… Continue reading laser eye surgery is my thing

being 43 is my thing

April 29, 2022April 28, 2022 Shauna

"This has been incredible. How do you know all this stuff?" I am comfortably sitting on the floor cross-legged at sunset with a glass of red wine in my hand. I am leading a strategic planning retreat for entrepreneurs and the team is feeling pleasantly tired from the focused work, and also fired up. I… Continue reading being 43 is my thing

being comfortable with myself is my thing

April 15, 2022April 14, 2022 Shauna

So, now that we (I am taking for granted that you and I are in this together now) have decided that my goal for this challenge the next 9ish months is to figure out how to feel comfortable in my own skin... I (*cough* WE) need a plan...

i made a mistake last week, sorry

April 8, 2022April 7, 2022 Shauna

I wrote that whole "what is the point of this year long challenge of mine" post last week and within a few hours of it going live I realized it was all wrong. I came to conclusions, it felt tidy, it sounded reasonable more or less... but no. The happiness thing? I guess... not? Quick… Continue reading i made a mistake last week, sorry

being safe is (not) my thing

March 25, 2022March 24, 2022 Shauna

For forever I had felt like I was one hack away from really tapping into my professional groove. It always felt like something was just a little bit off.

arguing is my thing

March 11, 2022March 10, 2022 Shauna

There is a lot of fighting an invading going on. Considering this I wanted to share a book that I think would have an immediate and positive impact on... everything. Pretty much everything. I have gifted this book many, many times and if there happen to be any politicians or presidents who would like a… Continue reading arguing is my thing

self sabotage is my thing

February 11, 2022March 3, 2022 Shauna

For the month of February I have decided "my thing" is readings (tarot, psychic, Human Design etc) but I am dragging my feet on the actual DOING IT part of this decision...

sometimes fun is hard

January 28, 2022February 10, 2022 Shauna

I have noticed something over the last 4 weeks as I get into this experiment... coming up with "new" can be taxing. Doing something new takes planning and research and coordinating with other people and someone to watch the kids and extending invitations and making bookings and decision making... and energy. A few years ago… Continue reading sometimes fun is hard

a confession

January 21, 2022February 10, 2022 Shauna

I have something a bit lame to confess… or maybe it’s embarrassing or sad... or I'm overthinking it… you be the judge. Here goes: I don’t know what my “thing” should be for February. January = Axe Throwing February = ????? Don’t get me wrong, I have come up with a whole host of possibilities… Continue reading a confession
