Time has changed.

Fall back!

The days grow shorter,

and the sun,

well,

it plays a little harder to get.

I was out for a Sunday walk, reflecting…

The #RunningReflections may start on the road, but these are the thoughts that run through my mind constantly.

Recently, I’ve been noticing the subtle but powerful difference between sarcastic humor and passive aggression. Strange that it’s taken me this long to make the connection, but here we are.

The difference really lies in intention: lightheartedness vs buried resentment.

Sarcasm can be playful, a nudge.

Passive aggression, though, comes with an undercurrent of anger that only weighs me down.

I think it’s time to extricate the passive-aggressive.

Let it go from my lived experience.

And double down on the good-hearted nature.

Embrace the lightness.

It just feels… right.

Join me for Coffee and Mental Health Advocacy! 

From October, I’m pledging $1,040 to Ottawa Salus to support their mission of providing housing and support services for adults with mental health challenges. Over a year, I'll be hosting 52 coffee and conversation sessions where we can connect, share ideas, and make a difference.

For each coffee, I’ll donate $20 to Ottawa Salus and invite you to match it with a donation to your preferred charity. Let’s come together for meaningful discussions that empower our communities.

Interested? Drop me an email or DM on LinkedIn to schedule a time to chat. Let’s make our coffee count! 

TTFN (Ta-ta for now),
