 Hello everyone!  In September last year, I wrote a post introducing a great Canadian musician named Justin Wack who I found while browsing YouTube one night and I am very happy to say that today he has released a brand new single called Wrong Time ! I was in the middle of a movie when I received the notification that it was out and I immediately paused the movie to listen. I have been eagerly waiting to hear new music from him soI am extremely happy now. It has been playing on repeat for the last two hours! If you haven't already read that first post I wrote about Justin, click here -  http://thevrk.blogspot.com/2020/09/introducing-justin-wack.html All the songs he has out are really good so I knew his new one had to be and he has exceeded my expectations. Justin posted the cover art for Wrong Time on Instagram,Twitter and Facebook yesterday. The outlines of the man with a guitar and woman are great. It's simple but attractive. When I saw it, I instantly thought that he ...

People around the world were devastated to hear of the bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team in Canada on April 6, 2018. It was a day that changed the lives of 29 families forever and one of the survivors, Kaleb Dahlgren, has written a book called Crossroads where he tells the story of his life from childhood right up to the summer of 2019. He talks about the crash and everything he has experienced and done since then but as you read through it, you will see that Kaleb is more than a Humboldt Broncos crash survivor and learn valuable lessons.  Here I'm going to share my thoughts on the book, starting with the cover. Just look at it. It's beautiful and gives me chills!  I love that the title of the book is called Crossroads and Kaleb is pictured standing at a crossroad. The photo is amazing right?! You may think that it's photoshopped but no, it is a real photo. In an interview on Humboldt radio station 107.5 Bolt FM, Kaleb said that the Nipawin RCMP helped t...

This post is for all the music lovers out there. Some incredible musicians and artists have new music coming out this month and I am going to tell you about a few of them. Chris Lanzon has been working hard and is releasing a a over of the Goo Goo Dolls song,  Iris,  tomorrow and today, after getting 1k pre-saves on streaming platforms like Spotify, he released the music video this afternoon at 4pm, making his fans very happy. Both the song and video are beautiful! Here is the link to pre-save it!  https://ffm.to/chrislanzon-iris Instagram @chrislanzon Canadian musician Justin Wack has a new song coming out on March 26th! I really can't say much about this one because he has not revealed any details about it yet. His Instagram bio says"Wrong time out March 26". I guess Wrong Time is the name of the song but we will have to wait to find out. If you don't know who Justin Wack is, go read this blog post I wrote last September -  http://thevrk.blogspot.com/2020/09/intro...

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend. Today I want to tell you about two podcasts I've been listening to and enjoying.  Hope Matters Hope Matters is a podcast by Louisa Hope, who is one of the survivors of the Lindt Cafe siege which occurred in December 2014. After that tragic day which shocked our country, Louisa spent about three months in hospital and, as an expression of gratitude for the nurses who took care of her, she founded the Louisa Hope Foundation for Nurses which grants equipment, education and research.  The Hope Matters podcast started in December 2019. In each episode, Louisa talks about her experience reflects on what happened that day and her experience as a hostage. The aim of this podcast is to think about what we have learnt since then, where our society is now, what our government has done and what still needs to be looked at. Through this, her fundraising efforts for the foundation and motivational speaking, Louisa is doing amazing...

Happy Valentine's Day! Remember it is not just for couples, it is a day to celebrate love in all forms and here I am sharing some ideas for how you could celebrate Galentine's day. No that isn't a typo, Galentine's day is a real thing.  It was inspired by an episode of the popular television show, Parks and Recreation, in which the lead character gathers all her female friends every February 13th to celebrate their friendship. This day is complete with delicious food, positive conversation, thoughtful gifts and fun activities. With the pandemic and restrictions still around, I am including some activities you can do at home. Spa day After a busy week, you deserve to relax and feel rejuvenated  so host a spa day at home. Put on light, calming music, wear robes and face masks, and just enjoy the day. Cooking club This one is for a group that enjoys cooking. Select a recipe book and have everyone bring a dish from it. This is a fun way to try out your skills in the kitchen...

Each person who suffers from anxiety, depression and mental health issues or has their own way of coping with it and do different things to relieve stress. One thing I like to do when I'm stressed is to hear other people talk about their own experiences with it and their management tips. I also like to listen to podcasts and in this post I want to tell you about one I recently started listening to. Life's A Wreck is hosted by 22-year-old Kyle Moore who talks about how mental health can affect our daily lives and situations we encounter. He does this using in-depth conversation and humor which I think is unique approach to this topic. Unique and great! In each episode, Kyle explores a part of everyday life and an aspect of mental health. For example, in episode four, he talks about rest, giving our minds and bodies a chance to recover. That is really something a lot of us forget about when we're busy with work, school, taking care of children and everything else. In fact, it...
