As we work to achieve the expectation to ‘have it all,’ we’ve created a situation where we idolize busy, exhaustion is a badge of honour, and if you aren’t stressed, you aren’t trying.

Who comes up with this stuff?

And why do we buy in?

It’s time to flip the script. It’s time to figure out the kind of things that *you* want in your life.

Let go of the goals that don’t matter to you. Uncomplicate. Simplify.

Who’s in? Give me a 👍 below.

Lest we forget the bravery of all those who served to protect our lives and freedom in this land we call Canada, and let us give thanks to those who continue to serve. More than 650,000 Canadians served in the First World War.
🍁
Some 4,000 Indigenous people volunteered to serve the Canadian (British) Forces in WW1, and combatted racial and cultural prejudice among their troops while occupying key roles as reconnaissance scouts, snipers, and within tunnelling and forestry units. At home, the Six Nations Women’s Patriotic League organized contributions to the war effort by knitting clothing and bandages, and raising funds to be sent to the front.
🍁
An estimated 2,600 Black Canadians served the war effort in WW1. 600 of these men were recruited for the No. 2 Construction Battalion headquartered in N.S., the first large Black military unit in Canadian history. The battalion deployed to Liverpool, UK to serve with the Canadian Forestry Corps to provide lumber to maintain the front lines, and construct roads and railways. Despite segregation, some 2,000 Black Canadian soldiers managed to join regular units and earned medals for their bravery at the front lines. At the home front, Black Canadians worked to produced weapons and supplies for soldiers overseas.
🍁
More than 200 Chinese Canadians volunteered to serve the WW1 effort, some dying on the Western Front in France and Belgium. [Read: Chinese Exclusion Act]
🍁
222 Japanese Canadian volunteers enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force for military service overseas in WW1.
🍁
Ten Sikh Canadians served with the Canadian Army in WW1, all of which were volunteers for a country that denied them citizenship. Eight served in Europe, two of whom died in battle.

It feels wrong to go on posting as normal. Disparities in access to healthcare, particularly for services that aren’t publicly funded, in addition to the microaggressions and different treatment by health care providers, are additional forms of injustice for BIPOC. I’m making some space here for the conversations that are of higher priority. I’m taking the time to read, listen and learn.
