I went digging for my toga party photos in Rome because I miss the summer already. I think our toga dresses are superb and we’re practically designers. Bedsheets from our hostel, leaves from the bushes outside of our hostel, and headbands from London, England’s PRIMARK – we bought the headbands because they were cute and cheap. They were meant to be brought back home to wear in Toronto, not quite at a toga party in Rome, so that’s more bang for our buck.

Today I delivered my first mini presentation at Canon – the audience was just over 100 people. I am so, so, so grateful for opportunities like this. It is obviously scary and gives your heart a nice workout without actually being physically active. But with each scary moment, comes improvement and progress. Embrace scary moments! Whether or not you handled it well is really quite minuscule compared to the real value, which is in experiencing and going through it. Whether you realize it or not, the experience, even if the whole thing blew up in your face, has STILL made you even just a tiny bit better than before. I want to avoid comfort zones for as long as I can. Can’t run low on scary moments – not for a long time! Go write an exam or something. Go do something uncomfortable. It’s good for you.
