“Don’t be afraid of change because something good is on the other side”. I heard that recently and I have another take on this entirely. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Ok, enough with the dramatics. Seriously tho, it’s ok to be afraid of change. It’s normal. ✨ Change is scary and it’s ok to be afraid of it. The trick is to not let it freak you out so much that it paralyzes you from taking action or causes you to give up on something you really want to do, leaving you stuck in a not so great place. ✨ Change is scary. Uncertainty is uncomfortable and scary. To deal with the opportunity for change I think you need to sit with the feeling of fear, doubt, worry, be curious about it, question what it’s about and call it out for what it is. ✨ Then when you’re done, let it go and focus on the possibilities that the change may offer and then take action. ✨ Good.

Texting can be convenient but nothing beats real phone conversations. I feel the same way about physical books vs ebooks and audiobooks - I’m team old skool ✌🏾 ✨ Good.

I’m actually not by a pool but instead about to throw on some sweats and head to a boxing class 😬 I skipped the workout yesterday so I could brunch with the fam on some delicious Jamaican food (see my stories 😋) - totally worth it tho! . Hope you guys have a great day and enjoy the sunshine and Pride in Toronto for those attending✨Taking my Jamaican mom and her sisters to a Jamaican restaurant 👀 what was I thinking??? 😬 ✨ Weekend brunch date with my mom and aunties (my sliver-hair squad) I decide to try Chubby’s Jamaican Kitchen. Now, this was a risky move on my part cuz my mom and her sisters are a) Jamaican, b)love to cook, c) are really really good at it and d) picky as hell about food when they dine out 🤦🏾♀️ ✨ . I heard really good things about Chubby’s and I thought I might as well see for myself and bring them with me because who better to judge 😏 . The verdict? Well, the rumours were all true. We had the best time! The service, atmosphere, the music selection and of course the food were excellent😋. The squad declared that we would definitely visit again. Phew! ✨ Big up @chubbysjamaican 👊🏾Thanks for a wonderful afternoon ( + the bday treat for my mom) and for not making me look bad😂 ✨ Food pics in my stories! . . . . . . . . #jamaicanrestaurant #yyzeats #chubbysjamaican #brunchspot #foodagram #Torontoeats #foodstagram #foodiegram #foodieTO #torontoeats #TOReats #Torontofoodie #lovefordesign #tastethesix #restaurantstyle #dailyhiveTO #BlogTO #yyzeats #yyzfoodies #Torontolife #jamaicanfood #jamaicanfoodie #brunchTO #weekendbrunch #torontoblogger #saturdaybrunch #canadianbloggerArchives
