During the week our mornings are rushed and no fun around here. We’re up before the sun rises & hurrying out the door. But weekends are a different story altogether. Sundays mornings are the sweetest & the laziest mornings of all. Warm sunbeams float in through the windows. We don’t get up until we’re good & ready. Best of all, there is always time for breakfast. This morning it was sunny-side-up eggs on rye tortilla & almond milk. I’ll be keeping the memory close to my heart as I’m fighting through rush hour this week…
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
During the summer months Katy and I work 6 days per week. Sunday is our only day to relax and unwind. Most of the time we go to the 6 pm service at church so we can be worthless and enjoy doing much of nothing on Sunday mornings.
Oh Dena – what I most like about your blog – amongst other things of course! – is that you always remind me that everyone has a “real life”.
Some bloggers always make me feel as if they only do what they like and never have real life things to deal with. But you assure me that there IS a stressy life – and that we STILL get to cherish these intimate, beautiful moments that are happening along with it.
Thank you for that – and have another great weekend with your husband!

Thanks so much, Kati. I really try to be as true to myself as I can. Love is beautiful, but not always, always, always! <3
