Last week on timotheories, we gave you dear readers a top 10 list of skills to invest in. That list was good for anyone looking to improve, but I originally wrote the topic because artists need help too and sometimes we don’t go looking in typical channels for it. Which got me to thinking. Because timotheories is…
What is happiness anyway? And what does it take to stay healthy and happy throughout our short time here on this spinning rock? I often wonder about that one dear readers. Well, I think about it constantly if we are going to get down to brass tacks. I keep it on my mind and in my…
Happy Christmas Harry! Whoops, that’s not how I meant to start today’s post! Just kidding, who am I, The Grinch? I must be pretty grumpy that I can’t come up with some Christmas cheer and make the season just a bit lighter for you dear readers. As I mentioned in yesterday’s Wisdom Wednesday post, today…
I’m gonna tell you a little secret dear readers, while I don’t own any of their albums, I’m a pretty big fan of CSS. This is probably because when I was in my early 20’s they were “cool” and “weird” and something hipsters were into, but I think my favourite thing about them was that…

I mentioned…

I’ve often wondered this myself dear readers, and I’ve read definitions of the term of course, to properly understand what the word means, but…
I’m a pretty big fan of supporting local events and groups, as I hope you would know by now. But did you know that are key individuals in our communities who actually spend their hard earned “free” time, sharing the catalogue of current local events for us Edmontonians on a regular basis and a lot of…
Do you ever struggle with life, dear readers? Feel aimless or that you have ambition but cannot focus? A sense of despair? I’ve been there too and can be challenged by life, almost unexpectedly it seems. Today’s post is a more serious one, so I’m giving you all some fair warning. I often wonder about the…
So I have this theory, right? I know, crazy of me to suggest this – I never have those. But just hear me out alright? I have this theory that hard work does pay off, but in order for it be worthwhile, you do have to work smart too. One of my painting professors in…
Where does motivation come from? I often wonder this myself, and I’ve met with different perspectives on the matter throughout my life so far. I fully expect to encounter more examples and perspectives as I go along, but for the purpose of making a point, I’ve outlined some examples below. Some believe it is something…
