The Universe continues to teach me lessons in the most interesting and unexpected ways, including through the gift of a Christmas angel.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the holiday season can sometimes magnify everything happening in our lives, and we tend to feel things a little more intensely. 

I love watching our family's children play, dance, draw, and create – they do it without thinking how it should or should not be; they're carefree and in the moment. It's so refreshing and inspiring.

Traffic and road construction are hot topics these days! 

On the journey of self-discovery, the Universe continues to give us opportunities to learn and evolve. The tricky part is getting comfortable with being uncomfortable along the way.

As I watch the trees change colour, and the leaves fall effortlessly, I think about how much beauty there is in this ever-changing flow of life. 

As the cooler Fall weather rolls in, I always desire to make soup. There’s nothing like a bowl of warm, homemade soup to nourish the soul.

Much is going on in the world, and like many of you, as an empath, I am aware of the energy of the collective consciousness. This past week, I have experienced moments of sadness and unsettled energy in my body. 
 

Over the years, I have been asked, ‘If I meditate for 20 minutes daily, how long will it take me to feel peaceful?’

Next weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving, but why wait to be grateful?

Something I am grateful for every day is my breath. 

Many years ago, I remember a teacher saying, "If you are busy digging holes, you will never find water."

Fourteen years ago, my partner in life and business decided to end our relationship. We cared for each other and continue to remain good friends today, but we knew it was time for a change. 

After taking time off this summer, it feels great to reconnect with you again!  

As you likely know from following along with my Mindful Mondays, I love to take walks. In nature, in the neighbourhood, just about anywhere.

I want to introduce you to an ancient Hawaiian prayer that is a powerful technique for forgiveness. I’ve used it for years now, and it’s a go-to tool that is simple and powerful. 

Many of us find it difficult to accept compliments but easy to believe the slightest criticism.

I love it when something so simple turns out to be so exquisite.

The beach is one of my happy places; open sky, fresh air, waves tumbling in, and sand on my feet. I breathe deeper when I see the vastness and space, and my heart opens. Everything falls away; nothing else exists.
