Did you stop to smell the flowers? - Don't miss the Kaleidoscope of Autumn

The weather has really changed in Toronto, temps have started to hit single digits on a regular basis. I came across these photos from late summer/early autumn when the days were warm. Short sleeves have  since been replaced with sweaters and jackets.

In today's world of being constantly connected it is important to stop and smell the flowers. No matter where you live there is always a little green space somewhere in the city. And I did just that on this particular Sunday afternoon, these beauties are part of  Village of Yorkville Park - which is a series of unique gardens located on the south side of Cumberland Street stretching west from Bellair Street reflecting the diversity of the Canadian landscape.

Mother Nature's fragrant summer blossoms may be hard to find this time of year but the kaleidoscope of colours that she gifts us during autumn is a sight to behold. So, make sure on your walks and drives that you take a moment to pause and take in the one of a kind art display only Mother Nature can create, before you look up and realize the show is over.

What I wore: sneakers- Chuck Taylor Converse; khakis - Gap; belt - Hermès; blouse - Max Studio; black cross necklace - market find (old); white watch - Lucien Piccard; bracelet - The Essence Collection Pandora; sunglasses - Gucci; tote - Louis Vuitton

5 Simple Self Care Tips

 for Transitioning into Autumn

Time to reflect, set intentions
Have you reviewed your goals and wishes for this year? (most people don’t after setting them). Take this transitional season to reflect on your life, review your goals (update if needed) and set new goals. Ask yourself - How is life working for me at the moment? What changes may be needed? What do I want to create next?  Am I making myself a priority in my life? Set aside 30 – 60 minutes to reflect on your life as it is now –  then select a few simple action steps you can start taking towards achieving your goals and creating the life you want to be living. read more here

Have You Laughed Today?

When life's "stuff" happens - divorce, car accident, loss of a loved one, illness, career downsizing, etc. - it can leave us frustrated, overwhelmed and stressed - depleting our ability to find joy in everyday life and laugh. But , laughter just may be what you need to stay healthy and improve your ability to cope during challenging times. read more here

Clutter is more than just the stuff that fills your home, office, or car. Beyond physical clutter -  relationship and emotional clutter can also be holding you back from moving forward with the life you want to be living. Clutter in all forms is stagnant energy that leaves you feeling drained physically and emotionally. read more here

Time for a Fresh Start …

After almost five years of writing content on High Heeled Life (formerly Falling Off a High Heeled  Life) and struggling back and forth over the past couple years with the direction the HHL blog would take, and whether to stop writing on HHL and start fresh, or whether to just stop blogging,  I have made a decision.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your continued love, support, encouragement and the inspiration you have given (and continue to give) me over these past five years. It is impart your friendship in this virtual world of blogging that kept me going and gives me the wings to continue to share my journey.

While I am starting fresh with Resilientista Musings – a blog on my new website Resilientista, I'm not quite ready to say good bye to High Heeled Life. HHL will become a creative outlet where I’ll be sharing about Toronto through my camera’s lens and posting about the places, people and things in and around Toronto that help me live a High Heeled Life.

Welcome to Resilientista Musings & Resilientista website!

Resilientista Musings  blog will be a continuation of how I’m learning to embrace my new life, and the realizations along the way (oh the stories I'll be sharing); with lots of inspiration sprinkling for self care - mind body and spirit; healthy living, fashion, beauty, travel and everything Resilientista.

Resilientista website - will be a virtual community where women will come together to share and find inspiration, motivation and empowerment for making time for Self Care - nurturing mind, body, spirit -  in their daily life and creating the life they want to live.
