Start with the inner game

When your engine isn’t working you don’t head out and get a car wash, hoping it’ll run better. The same applies in life. No amount of external changes – hair, makeup, fitness, new clothes and fun toys – will make up for what’s going on “under the hood.

Building character

While reflecting on why I continue to blog everyday, I’ve realized that it’s yet another small action I take daily that is slowly building my character. I’m developing discipline, and as a bonus – through writing I’m finding my voice. It’s not to say that I

Remember to pause

When we’re grounded and coming from Love, we’re not reactive and we respond with love. It may take a breath – or ten. It may take a minute – or even a day. But taking that pause to “come home” – or come onto the core, or come onto Self – will

Find what works for you

Everyone is different. Every BODY is different. We each have different rhythms and motivations, different goals and dreams. Some things work for some people that don’t work for others – and if you have more than one kid or fur baby, you know this all too well. Scheduling and planning

Give without condition

Giving of ourselves – our time, our services, our money or even gifts – is best received when it’s without condition or attachment. Meaning, you don’t have an agenda, a hidden motivation, or an expectation that goes along with your generosity. As an example, I’ve heard people say that

Learning to be a good receiver

In the past I haven’t been a very good receiver – it’s been a skill that I’ve been learning to develop. You might be surprised at how many areas this impacts and the subtleties of it. This idea first came to my attention over 10 years ago at

Committed to things being hard

Some people unknowingly wear their commitment to things being hard like a badge of honour – probably so much so that their subconscious ensures that it’s true. I’ve been guilty of this myself – many times. I had this crazy aha today realizing that I had access to so many

Start now

Whatever it is that you’ve been putting off – just start now. The goal that’s in front of you – just take the first step. Time is going to pass no matter what. A year from now, are you going to be closer to your goal or perhaps even achieved

Respect yourself first

How we respect the planet, people and the respect we receive from others – is a direct correlation to how much we respect ourselves. I’ve been thinking about a previous work situation and how many valuable lessons I’ve extracted, despite it being very challenging time in my life and

Making room for abundance

I have a little game that I play each day on the trail, which includes finding feathers. It completely delights me when I find one and I am thrilled by the collection I have accumulated. Yesterday I found a beautiful white feather and instead of sticking it in my phone

Making peace

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. There are many things that I wish didn’t happen – or that I would have handled differently. I don’t necessarily have regrets per se, as I know “intellectually” that those experiences have helped form the woman and mother I

Beautiful connections

My time each day in nature is very sacred to me. It’s a reflective time, a meditative experience and deeply prayerful. The time is spent on my own, with the Divine, with Mother Earth, the trees, the river, and all of the little “friends” who are also delighting in

Wisdom is timeless

I’m currently enjoying a book that was written in the late 1930’s and the wisdom shared was as applicable then as it is today – perhaps even more so. This is part of the reason for my love of books. Wisdom is timeless. What a privilege to be able

Spring cleaning

Today is the Spring Equinox – the first day of spring – and the beginning of more light and longer days. It’s ideally a time to purify, cleanse, and release what’s not serving us and open to a fresh, new beginning. Consciously celebrating the Equinox – and the Solstice – are relatively

I have enough

I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to learning. Books, courses, audios – anything that serves my growth and expands my thinking lights me up and brings me so much joy. The way most women feel about shoes and handbags is how I feel about my books. There

Challenge your thinking

My Course in Miracles workbook lesson for today reminded me that “I am entitled to miracles.” It’s funny watching what comes up around some of the languaging used within the course – and that’s part of the fun of this year long journey and mind re-training. For me, the

The longest 2 weeks ever

A year ago today, “The Great Pause” began in Ontario and throughout the world. It’s crazy to think what was supposed to have only been 2 weeks has already turned into 52 weeks – and counting. In our lifetimes, never has anything impacted the entire world like this has. Pretty

The definition of insanity

We all know that the definition of insanity is doing things over and over again, expecting a different result. And yet, as I watch people I see this behaviour continually showing up in their lives. It shows up in my life too – it’s just easier and more fun to

It's not enough to be good

It’s not enough to have a big heart. We have to take responsibility for our vibration, our thinking, our beliefs and our “come from.” Why do “bad” things happen to “good” people? For all of those reasons – vibration, thinking, beliefs – as well as their “bus stop conversation” as Dr.

Being open to feedback

I made a beautiful vegetable curry for dinner this evening. It was a lengthy, enjoyable  process and the end result was delicious. But it took me be willing to listen to ideas and feedback to get it there. I was trying out a new recipe and it just wasn’t

Spreading joy

I am pro-freedom and I choose not to wear a mask. The only place where I’ve been impacted has been at Costco. Unfortunately last November they chose to revise their mask policies requiring those who are medically exempt to wear a face shield. That’s a hard no for

Responsible sharing

When you’re a teacher or in a position of authority, your community, your students or your clients are putting their faith and trust in you. Sometimes to a fault. It should be viewed as a great honour and responsibility – because it is. Recommending or referring “should” come from a

I beat you!

You almost got me… but not today. I persevered. I silenced you. It took longer than I planned. You were a worthy opponent. It wasn’t pretty. I’m tired. I almost quit. I wanted to give in. But not today. Not today my inner bitch voice. xo

Continually redefining

Life is a beautiful journey with no real final destination. To get off of auto-pilot requires consciousness. The willingness to do the work, to learn and evolve. To fall and get back up. Constant reevaluation, redefining and reinventing. Being open to feedback. Being willing to adjust and change. Updating the

Thank you, next

Things don’t always work out as we envision them or expect them to. But as they say, when one door closes – another opens. At the time it may feel disheartening, disappointing or frustrating. Have what you have. Honour your feelings. Feel into them. Take it to the body and
