Since it has been eight years since I became "a minimalist" and purged 80% of my belongings (Read: Confessions of a Former Pack Rat) - I thought it was time for another round of decluttering (maintenance). Once or twice a decade sounds about right. With 2020 around the corner I want to start the year off on the right note.…

As long as I can remember I always loved taking photos. My grandmother gave me her polaroid camera when I was little and I had so much fun with that (who knew polaroid would make a come back with the instax cameras). Later in my childhood I had a camera of my own with film, and also loved using the underwater disposable…

A couple of years ago, two of my friends and I gathered up a pile of old magazines and had a vision boarding evening. It was a lot of fun over wine, chocolate and laughter. We didn't take it that seriously and cut out pictures and words we liked. I ended up with a board full of inspirational photos and positive words,…

Our small but mighty Happy Ocean Community group is making great strides and has recently caught the attention of our local media. Last week we had a television, radio and news article written about our plastic-free initiatives and events we have held recently. We are so pleased with how our community is making positive…

I've been a fan of gaming since I can remember - from when I was a kid playing Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda, spending hours and hours just to defeat the game, and then turn around and start all over again at level 1. And for anyone who knows me, it may come as no surprise that I love collecting badges. I am not…

Wow, December is flying by so quickly, day 8th of the Trello Holiday Calendar already, I am learning so much from the posts each day! When I chose to share my favourite Trello Power-Ups with you, I realized my favourite three are still the same from back in 2019 when I wrote an article called "My Love of Trello…

Back to school is around the corner, and in some places already started. I thought it would be timely to showcase some of the Trello Inspiration boards for Teachers. I am not a Teacher however early in my career I was a Computer Repair Technician instructor at Horizon College, and a Computer Applications instructor at…

I have been an Atlassian Community member for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it. I sure wish this series existed back when I started, as it took me some time to move from lurker to contributor, as I didn't know what I didn't know. I am still learning every day, but fully enjoying the experience - I have…

Due to impact of Covid-19 the in-person Atlassian Summit and the Atlassian Leader events were no longer possible. Everyone was very disappointed however the outstanding Atlassian Community jumped in and turned lemons into lemonade. "Operation Lemonade" was born and was held March 30th to April 3rd. With a Trello board and…

Hard to believe Trello has 100+ power-ups (known as apps for other Atlassian products) to choose from, enabling us to collaborate with teams and organize our work and personal lives more efficiently and effectively. I am in the process of trying out all the power-ups via a Trello Sandbox Board I created, where I can learn…

I have not been on Community a lot these last few months, my days since April have been jam packed and since I am online and talking to people all day I have made an effort to put my computer and phone away in the evenings and weekends. With my current assignment, one of the initiatives I have been leading is Emotional…

Working from home this week has been "business as usual" for me as I have been working remotely for the past five years. Working from home was not originally by choice as I am an extrovert and I get my energy from being around people. At the time I had accepted a new job but didn't realize they did not have a physical…

I have implemented a lot of healthy habits since the beginning of the year, and here it is mid-April already! Time goes by so quickly, so if I'm not careful some things that are important to me get left on the back burner and never seem to get moved to my priority list. Living in Canada where there are two official…
