I first started my LinkedIn account in 2008, when I was afraid that my job would expire in the economic downturn. I've seen LinkedIn grow and change over the last four years, in some good and some bad ways. Sunday's April Platform Challenge involved setting up a LinkedIn profile. Reading the comments, I realized that … Continue reading Top 9 LinkedIn Tips for Professionals (Like Architects)

Event: Angelwalk Theatre’s I Love You Because
My friend and I went to see Angelwalk Theatre's production of I Love You Because (ILYB), at Toronto's Centre for the Arts. I subscribe to the theatre's newsletter because I know Artistic Producer Brian Goldenberg from my time playing flute at our arts high school, however I haven't been able to attend any productions until now. I … Continue reading Event: Angelwalk Theatre’s I Love You Because

Why I couldn’t re-read Harry Potter
Two months ago, I decided to re-read the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. I borrowed the entire series the first time I read it, (one long weekend in august I read the first 4 books, then I waited until my friends owned the next three) so none of the copies were my own. An … Continue reading Why I couldn’t re-read Harry Potter

Book Review: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
No quote this week because I just can't bring myself to potentially ruin the first 2 books if you haven't read them yet. (You really should read them. In order.) While this particular book starts a bit slower (new characters in a new setting take a bit of additional world-building) the book is well worth … Continue reading Book Review: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Yoga and Depression
I enjoy Yoga. I often look up poses, and I find articles like "10 Yoga Poses to Fight Depression and Anxiety" fascinating. Yoga is one of those practices that helps you recognize what your body and mind needs physically, and most instructors patiently guide their students through the movements. The other day, I came across … Continue reading Yoga and Depression
Book Review: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Note, Spoiler Alert: If you have not read The Hunger Games, please do not read this post. Go read it! In my mind, President Snow should be viewed in front of marble pillars hung with oversized flags. It's jarring to see him surrounded by the ordinary objects in the room. Like taking the lid off … Continue reading Book Review: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
