People have mixed feelings about the holiday season.

Some people look forward to these times all year long, while others find the holidays

especially stressful. I think a lot of this depends on what's going on in one's life at the

moment as well in terms of things like finances, relationships, breakups, and divorces.

So if you're looking for a little hope or inspiration, have some downtime to fill,

or maybe just need a positive distraction, I encourage you to check out the Canadian Love Map podcast.

The podcast intrigued me because of the Canadian ties, of course.

But the specific episode I listen to, called Heidi's story, really touched my heart.

In the episode, Heidi is a mother of four who has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer,

but instead of allowing that to completely turn her world upside down, she has chosen to

spread love outwards to others and is inspiring people to do small acts of kindness,

as well as encourage people to join her in fighting for a cure.

I don't know about you, but when I hear stories like this, I find it beyond inspiring,

and it really puts things into perspective. I find strength and goodness like this so incredibly

admirable, and not that we want to minimize anyone's problems. Because if you're struggling with

something, you're struggling. It's not a competition, but so often we can think that the world is

crashing down around us over something like a breakup. But then you hear about what others are going

through, and it can actually make you more grateful for all of the good that you have in your life.

So yeah, I encourage you to take a listen to Heidi's story on the Canadian Love Map podcast,
