This month I’ve committed myself to volunteering at 12 different charities and non-profits over the holiday season.

To help me with my challenge I have partnered with an amazing local organisation called Volinspire.

They have built an incredible social platform to help connect charities and non-profits with individuals and businesses that are looking to volunteer and give back. They can track hours, highlight great social projects, and even share stories of really amazing volunteers (hopefully like us!).

Get in the game!

Join me on this Charity Challenge and let’s make this month about more than ourselves and the things we are buying for the holidays.

Jump on Volinspire, create an account and tag Scale My Life in your own positive and purposeful stories.

You may not be able to contribute to all 12 events in my Charity Challenge but if you can pick even 1 project that gets you excited and that you take even a couple of hours to get yourself involved with, then maybe together we can all break free from our bubbles and find a more meaningful and charitable life.

Charity Challenge: Making our lives matter

December 5, 2016 No Comments

Living our lives in a bubble Most of us live our lives inside of a bubble. We construct simple, comfortable, and enjoyable lives with decent jobs, good friends, and a few hobbies to keep us busy. If we`re lucky we may even create a small family or passion project to give our lives a greater purpose and meaning. At times we may face some turbulence, but all things considered, the most difficult struggles we face usually come down to a...

My #CharityChallenge has begun!

I’m going to be volunteering at 12 different charities over the holiday season. My goal is to give back some of my time but also hopefully highlight some of the amazing work they’re doing in our community.

I kicked things off by #volunteering at the Good Samaritans Society – Mountain View Village care facility where I got to work with their Therapy Recreation Coordinator to help some of their elderly and disabled members get up, active and have a bit of fun.

Their smiles were both incredible and heart warming. If you’d like to volunteer and help out they have a couple of really awesome opportunities.

They are launching a new program called Music and Memories which will give members with Alzheimer’s or Dementia an opportunity to listen to their favourite music in hopes it will spark some happy memories. They are simply needing help getting music downloaded from iTunes and on to their members ipods.

They can also always use help with the therapy recreation program and the many activities they have on an ongoing basis.

If you’d like to help out please contact Annette @ alachaine@gss.org or 250-717-4005

Fitness Challenge: 5 steps to kick your ass into shape

November 28, 2016 No Comments

1 month, that’s all it takes. 1 month of lifting, sweating, pushing, pulling, falling, failing, flailing and dieting to get into the best shape of your life. I’m not saying you’ll have abs that you can grate cheese on or muscles you can pull cars with, but if you commit 100% of yourself into it for just 1 month, you can get some pretty amazing results. In this short amount of time, I’ve undergone a significant transformation and I did it...
