Typically, the snow waits until December to make its grand entrance. But not this year! Yesterday a nor’easter blew in & dumped a ton of fluffy white stuff on us. It felt more like Christmas than Hallowe’en, but we made the best of it. We spent the day cuddled up inside with hot soup & zombie movies—a perfect Hallowe’en weekend if you ask me!
I made one of my favourite soups for a snowy day—hot noodles with tofu & seaweed. Mmmm… Clearly Matthew enjoyed it, too. 😉
Snow flakes clung to the beautiful spider web outside of our window.
And the snow just kept falling & falling & falling!
I hope that you’re having a lovely weekend & keeping warm & cozy wherever you are. Keep your fingers crossed for me that this snow starts to melt so that I can take my Godson ‘Trick or Treating’ tomorrow!
Every Friday, I post my favourite links, posts, & resources from around the Web. Expect to learn, grow, & be inspired.

“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” —Lao Tzu
1. The Rebel’s Manifesto: “1. Do the opposite of what you were taught in school.” This is just chock-full of superb advice.
4. Post Secret: If you are one of the ten people left on Earth that isn’t following Post Secret, then I suggest you start now. 😉 PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. It is completely ad-free & gets updated every Sunday. It’s incredible.
5. A critical message about food. Yes, it is a bit lengthy, but worth every moment of your time.
Additionally, last week I watched Food, Inc. and to say that my perception about food is drastically altered would be a catastrophic understatement. Every single person living in the USA (perhaps others, too) must watch this film.
6. A happy mayor: “Not only is Mayor Hazel McCallionhappy of the City of Mississauga in Canada happy at work, she is also 88 years old, has been elected 11 times, has a 91% approval rating AND has kept her city debt-free.” Dear Heaven: Give me a fraction of this woman’s health, enthusiasm, and spirit! I’ll be set forever.
7. The Crushing Problem of Student Debt: Excellent post about the growing problem of student loan debt faced by so many Americans. This is an excellent follow-up to my two part series about my own financialjourney.
8. Overcoming Fear: I write about overcoming fear quite a bit here; but every now & then it is nice to hear someone else’s perspective on the subject. I really enjoyed this post about overcoming fear, particularly Jared’s personal story about where he allowed fear to take him in his own life.
10. Renegade Health Care Reform: Don’t worry, I haven’t gone all political on you! Just click it. I’m sure you’ll agree, no matter which side of the fence you’re standing on.
To all of my friends that celebrate Easter, may your Easter be filled with love & light. To all of my friends who do not, may your weekend be full of passion & grace. xo

I love perusing pictures of snow, Dena. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your week!! xo
Aw, thanks, Andra! I’m glad you enjoyed these photographs. I had a good time taking them.
I love The Walking Dead! My guy and I have been obsessed with it since we saw the first season on Netflix. Tomorrow night is a new episode!
Hi, Sabrina! It is great! We don’t have cable so it will be awhile before I get to see Season Two, but I look forward to it. Enjoy!
