Health Fair and Lunch

Health fairs are a great way to find out information that you have been wondering about, such as new products and services. Maybe you need to start collecting information for someone who needs more care than you are able to give.

My Little Secret will be there offering information on how having a personal assistant can take some of the stress away during a stressful situation.

Come down to The Waverley Retirement Residence on Monday April 7th from 12-2 to see what is new!

Ethical Makeover – Part Two

When all is said and done, it is about the values we have in all our relationships. It is about the obligations and commitments we cherish. These values are things like honesty, trustworthiness, openness, fairness, having a tender and compassionate heart and loving kindness.

Challenge – to identify the ethical aspects of our everyday and translate our values into actions and behaviours.

What does it look like? Each of us will have different path, but we should each strive to be kind.

It starts with you.

What does being ethical mean to you? – Part One

It is a feeling or an action, or maybe both. Does this action relate to being ethical to others or to yourself, or both. Would you do something different in public then private?

Does it really matter?

What kind of world do we want to live in? Do we want something to matter some of the time or do we want things to matter all of the time. Just like a “white lie” things can start small, taking something from someone, doing something you know “feels bad”, witnessing something and not saying anything. Then before you know it you are waking up one day with this emotional weight, and in some cases it is manifesting into something physical.

What kind of people are we in each and every relationship?

Home, sports, work, friends, volunteer, do we only think ethics relate to dilemmas or when it is convenient.

Each encounter with another person leaves a lasting impression, therefore Ethics is not just about the big picture but about each moment and each conversation.

Valentines Day

What is Valentines day…really. Have you researched where it came from and why we do what we do? Sure it is nice to have a day to tell some how much we care, but shouldn’t we do this anyway and not wait for one day out of the year.

If you are someone who has high expectations of what to expect on the 14th and it does not follow through…are you disappointed. Did you tell someone what you expected, did you do the same, do you feel you are entitled to receive such a gift. Then you are seeing this for all the wrong reasons.

You should give for the sake of giving, and discuss your expectations with your partner. It can be a sweet texted, or write a note and put it in there purse or wallet. Keep this up throughout the year, and flirt with them…didn’t you do that while you were dating.

Trust me, my husband and I have been married for 13yrs and have three kids and you can easily get caught up in the everyday. So stop and remember what brought you together.
