“Forgiving someone doesn’t mean that their behavior was ‘OK.’ What it does mean is that we’re ready to move on. To release the heavy weight. To shape our own life, on our terms, without any unnecessary burdens. Forgiveness is pure freedom—and forgiveness is a choice.” ~Dr. Suzanne Gelb It happened, again. I was sitting opposite

Shania Twain’s love story with Swiss businessman Frédéric Thiébaud stems from the unlikeliest of places. The couple has been happily married since 2011, but it was heartbreak that first brought them together. As the Grammy-winning singer has said, theirs is a “beautifully twisted” relationship — and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s what
Every aspect of society and life has been touched by the COVID-19 pandemic, including writers who are making the most of it by spending more time with their creative muse- no physical distancing needed. For Reem Fayyad, a Moncton-based poet and full-time working mom, the pandemic has given her the gift of time. “The lockdown
When it feels like life is pulling you in a dozen different directions, the way you get focused is by realizing that you simply cannot care about everything. You were not built to carry the weight of the entire world on your shoulders, even when that world is simply within your own four walls. There
Apple. Netflix. Google. They all started with an idea and a single step. The underwear brand, Spanx, founded by Sara Blakely, was born the same way. Today, it’s a billion-dollar company and Blakely is worth $610 million, according to Forbes. How? Blakely just shared her secrets in a motivational Instagram post. She didn’t take ‘no’
Shopping for the holidays this year will be different but many Black Friday deals are in full swing. Money expert Barry Choi recently joined The Morning Show to narrow down this year’s best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and the importance of supporting local businesses.

Though we may admit this only to a trusted few, or perhaps just to ourselves, deep down, we tend to be rather hopeful that we will eventually live happily-ever-after – and these fairy-tale endings look different to everyone. For myself, I always pictured finding work that supported both my passion for contributing meaningfully to the
Another surreal holiday in the books, for those of us in the US that is. I hope you all had a love-filled day yesterday, even if that love was sent from afar. I was 3,000 miles away from my family, though fortunate to be with my boyfriend’s parents. After I ate way too much tofurkey
It was around Thanksgiving in 1969 when 17-year-old Mary Beth DeSanto got pregnant and made the gut-wrenching decision to give up her baby for adoption. It was an extremely difficult choice, one she made to be able to give the baby a better life, and she thought about her daughter all the time. Fifty years
It’s back to school for Saved By the Bell. The iconic series, a big TV show in the ’90s for kids and teens alike, has been rebooted in 2020 with an entirely different feeling. Zack Morris (Mark‑Paul Gosselaar), now governor of California, gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, so he
We humans thirst, crave, and ache the same way. We all want to be seen, heard, understood, appreciated, and desired. We seek a greater purpose, to be a part of something bigger than ourselves and to know a love that transcends space and time. These are the many traits that bind us together, and yet

I’m willing to bet that most of us spend far more time focusing on what we aren’t than appreciating who we are. We home in everything we think we lack and then feel bad about ourselves, when there’s actually a lot to celebrate if we take the time recognize it. It’s partly a byproduct of
Miley Cyrus’s love life has always been the talk of the town but that doesn’t mean she’s letting the public or the press dictate her decision-making. Too often, her ten-year relationship with Liam Hemsworth is painted as the epitome of the on-off couple. They get together as teenagers, they break up when the growing pains
Like most parents, Paula Schuck is facing a whole new set of challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic. Besides the added stress of caring for a special needs child, the 52-year-old Canadian mother and writer says the pandemic has also taken a mental toll on her two teenage daughters.

For years, I had been checking all the boxes and working hard; I did everything I was supposed to do. And yet, I felt a sense of emptiness. What was the point of it all? Was it really what I wanted? I had reached a point of desperation. It was a perpetual cycle of negative thoughts,
The root cause of suffering for many of us is believing that there’s something’s wrong with us. Psychiatrists’ and therapists’ offices are filled with people who are carrying this false belief, most often stemming from traumatic or painful childhood experiences, or even people telling us this directly. Sometimes we inferred this idea because we were
Parents have long dismissed video games as a waste of time for their children, with many even forbidding them. One world-changing billionaire would disagree.

I met up for a coffee with a family friend the other day. She graduated from University this summer and is applying for jobs. I asked her how it was going, and she said, “Bleak.” Prospects are “bleak,” her chances are “bleak,” the environment is “bleak.” Everything is “bleak.” Unfortunately, she’s not entirely wrong. She is

The pandemic has been hard for many families, and millions are out of work and struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. One California-based family was in dire straits. They were down to their last $12, and didn’t know where to turn or what would happen next. But now,
I first met Canadian Dave Mathews (not to be confused with U.S. rock star Dave Matthews) at a pub trivia night in London, earlier this year. He was sitting at the table beside me, with three or four other Canadians. How did I know they were fellow Canadians? They were sharing a box of Timbits.
Takeaway: A pre-mortem is a ritual that helps you account for all that could go wrong with a project—in advance of those mishaps actually occurring in real life.

You feel painfully ordinary, worried that you’ll never be enough as you internalize messages that you’re not as special as you hoped. You worry that you’ll remain stagnant, that you’ll never achieve great things, that your life will forever feel dull and hackneyed. But never stop believing that you are magic, a manifestation of stardust and dreams
