Sunday mornings I usually take time to catch up on stories I may not have time to read through the week. Thought I would share some that caught my eye this week, maybe you will enjoy them with your Sunday morning coffee break as well.

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do | Cait Flanders

The holidays are not always merry and bright for everyone. Some people really struggle with this time of year. Cait Flanders is talking about a simple practice that I have used many times in my life. If I am feeling discouraged or down, doing something for others…is a simple thing that can immediately change your mood. It helps shift your focus off of yourself and onto others. Try it this holiday season, and see how what happens.

I’ve been in this place before. Not in this exact situation, of course, but in this place where I haven’t known what to say. Last spring, it took months for me to process the fact that everything I had once believed would exist in my future was being thrown to the wind. I didn’t know how to navigate the new reality, and the unknown had me questioning everything. What would the next 1 month, 3 months and 6 months look like? Who could I turn to? And where did I really belong?

LighthouseNow: Tree-mendous opportunity

A retired pilot and physician turned farmers…this is my kind of story. This couple have educated and re-invented themselves based on a love of outdoors and the potential they saw in a property they bought. Christmas trees, apples, haskap and maple syrup are keeping them busy as they explore agri-tourism ideas. Inspiring!

Once a helicopter pilot for the Royal Canadian Air Force in Ontario, Fred Eidt has landed about as far away as one can get from the leisurely life of retirement he set out for himself. His wife Muna ar-Rushdi, a former family physician in New Germany and Bridgewater who hung up her stethoscope in September, now spends most of her days nursing Christmas trees and haskap bushes along side of him, happily describing herself as “a farmer.” Together, the two have turned a neglected Christmas tree farm on Hirtle Road in Blockhouse, which they purchased four years ago, into an all-consuming, multi-faceted business that occupies them full-time.

Oh my…this house! I was sold on the updated kitchen with an induction stove, but the sunroom, hardwood floors, patio and all within a walk of the schools, hospital AND the Astor Theatre, have left me swooning! You have to check out the photos of this modern updated family home. This is one beautiful property for one terrific price. Have I mentioned how much I love Liverpool? 😉

No details were left untouched in this kitchen reno, and the chef in you will love spending time in this space, using the incredible induction stove. You’ll love to entertain in the cozy living room, or formal dining room. In summer months you can kick back and have your morning coffee break in the sunroom, or enjoy the patio in the backyard!
