This looks like it belongs in a Tim Burton movie and I love it!

WORD CLEANSE Are you ready to remove toxic words from your life? I sure am! Some words can be poison for your brain just like some food can be poison for your body. Perhaps its time to remove these negative words from your life?... Your words make a difference and the meaning of the words you say will help set the path for your life. Janet Miller inspired me to remove the words hope, try and should from my vocabulary and its been a positive and powerful shift. Ive recently decided to remove the word busy from my vocabulary. To me, being busy is a negative and toxic word. Lets stop glorifying the concept and the word because it can poison our happiness. I often have people saying things to me like: Wow, youre busy. I was going to call you but I figured you were busy. You sound really busy. Guys, Im never going to be busy again. I am currently very FULFILLED and happy. Everything that is on my plate brings me joy. Im fuelled by passion. My schedule is sometimes full. My gratitude cup is overflowing. I may seem fulfilled and that is because I am. So, stop shoulding all over yourself and fill your life with things that bring you happiness. Be grateful for your opportunities, be kind to yourself and remove toxic words from your mouth.

SPONTANEITY Im a planner. I like to know whats happening and whats going to happen. Most of the plans that Ive had over the past year were cancelled, postponed or adjusted. I had to learn to embrace the feeling of enjoying the unplanned. I am working on finding joy in being spontaneous. You know what? Its fucking rad. ... Earlier this month I went to Winnipeg with a one way ticket and last minute decided to drive home (that was actually fun). This weekend we decided last minute to hop in the truck and go for a swim. We knew that if there was a spot to camp, we would spend the night. We rolled into my favourite campground and there was 1 spot left (which we expect) and it just so happened to be my lucky number (8). Thank you, universe. My soul needed a night in the woods and time around the fire full of laughter. Im leaning into the shift between everything being planned and spontaneous adventures. In fact, I think its really good for my soul.

Blair Kaplan Communications turned 12 this July and to celebrate, I wrote this post! Thank you to all of my amazing clients. Without you, I would not be celebrating my Biz Mitzvah. xx

I am the most at peace when Im in stillness by water.

If you dont have 13 minutes to listen to this super fun interview with Mountain FM, let me share with you what you are missing out on: 1. I met my husband on Plenty of Fish and he is why I moved to Pemberton. 2. The Sea to Sky area is a great place to be an entrepreneur (high five to the Whistler Chamber of Commerce & Pemberton & District Chamber of Commerce). 3. When I go to networking events (in-person, duh), I like to find the food first. ... Intrigued? Listen to the full interview at the link below.

What are you doing to prioritize your mental health?
