Weekend Links

Graduation season is upon us!

The past couple of weeks I have been taking an entrepreneurship class downtown in Montreal, and every time I get off of the Metro I see new graduates and their families making their way from their graduation ceremonies at McGill. It not only makes me nostalgic for my own convocation ceremony 3 years ago(!) at McGill, but I find the energy, excitement and enthusiasm of the new graduates as they prepare to make their way in the world inspiring! This has been a year of new beginnings for me as well - my husband and I are starting a new business and we are trying to find the path that is right for us and our young family.

To new beginnings - no matter what stage you are at in life!

And here are a few inspiring links on new beginnings from around the web...

This roundup of 8 pieces of life advice from graduation speeches. Yes to Sheryl Sandberg.

Have you seen the this? How cool is it that a 1970s highway scheduled for destruction was turned into this awesome urban garden?

I love Scandi style. This Oslo kitchen transformation is amazing!

The Bibliothèques de Montréal are having an amnesty campaign where you can return your overdue books and have your fines waived!

For something a lot more serious. This piece on learning to move on and love your body after experiencing a pregnancy loss brought tears to my eyes. I know many women who have had a miscarriage and I think it's something we need to talk about more openly. It is a devastating loss and no one should suffer alone in silence. Karissa is brave to share her experience so openly and honestly.

And finally onto something lighthearted. As I relaunched my blog this week after a couple of years off I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my very first post. I still make these cookies all the time!

Have a great weekend!
