As we reach the third Monday of January, we hit the date often labelled “Blue Monday”. This year, it falls on January 19, 2026. Traditionally, this day has been branded the “saddest day of the year” — a perfect storm of post-holiday fatigue, darker weather, and the arrival of Christmas credit card bills. While the…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the kind of community I’d like to live in, and more importantly, the kind of community I want to raise my kids in. My personal vision is a neighbourhood that’s truly connected. A place where we are aware of the people living around us, where support for each…
We need to be honest about where our time goes. Social media started with a promise of connection, but over the years, it has evolved into something very different. Today, it is largely a platform for entertainment, news, and advertising. While there is nothing wrong with entertainment, the business model behind these “free” platforms relies…
Sometimes the Smallest Help Is the Biggest Thing There’s a particular moment most of us remember. A time someone stepped in. A time something small changed everything. It might have been someone watching your children when you were exhausted. A neighbour mowing your lawn when you were sick. A friend who showed up with food…
Asking for help shouldn’t feel awkward. And yet, too often, we struggle to reach out – even for the smallest things. Mind For Me was built to make support easy, natural, and part of everyday life. Whether you’re hoping for an occasional helping hand or eager to build stronger neighbourhood connections, getting started takes just…
We’ve always known that strong communities are built on simple acts of kindness. A lift to an appointment. A quick school run. Watching the kids for 30 minutes. Helping carry something heavy.

After years of development, testing, and refinement, Mind For Me is now live! We’re excited to start rolling out the platform and see how people will use it to connect, share, and support each other. This moment isn’t about a loud launch – it’s about beginning a journey.We’ve built Mind For Me to make it…
We all need a hand sometimes — but asking for help can feel harder than it should. Whether it’s picking up the kids, feeding the pets, mowing the lawn, or giving someone a lift, many of us hesitate to ask. We don’t want to feel like we’re imposing, owing a favour, or putting someone on…
A Quiet Pause for a Big Comeback It’s been a while — nearly four years since the original Mind For Me platform went offline. In that time, we’ve taken a step back, reimagined the experience, and rebuilt everything from the ground up. The result? A stronger, smarter, and more secure way for members to connect,…
Yesterday I was asked by a researcher at a University about the pilot, particularly at this time. I gave an outline as I saw it and felt it is worth sharing here… Whilst many are pivoting, Mind For Me has the same direction and model. What has changed is the need for support and…
