October Journal Challenge: One thing to do (just for me) tomorrow
I used to really struggle with this. Once upon a time, some 15 years ago, I made a post on Facebook about how, during a day off, I spent a rare day off having a long, hot bath, painting my toes, and just relaxing. I lamented that I probably should have been doing housework –…

October Journal Challenge: Opportunities ahead for me
What do I see ahead for me? I think it depends on the context and I am a big believer in worrying about jinxing myself! Lots of people believe we can manifest things. In fact, one of my ‘homework’ assignments this week was to lookup Ester (Abraham) Hicks, who is an American ‘motivational’ speaker. She…

October Journal Challenge: Weekend Wrap up
I haven’t written in a few days, and while my intent was to write every day, I had to honour my brain. I sat down to write Friday and my selected topic (something interesting I’d noticed) and nothing seemed interesting (other than people’s bad driving habits). Saturday was things I was excited about for the…

October Journal Challenge: Ways I’ve shown kindness or empathy recently
While I will occasionally pay it forward and pay for someone’s coffee in the drive thru lineup, I haven’t done that in a while. And while I know there are ways to give that help more, I do give to the local unhoused who ask for change. We also support our local foodbank and shelters…

October Journal Challenge: Ways I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone (lately)
Wellllllll… Let’s just start by saying I’ve taken on way more than I can chew. I feel like I’ve been running non-stop for days and I am not catching up. I did my Reiki master training in August – I am a Reiki master, who needs to seriously buckle down and practice! I started my…

October Journal Challenge: Something that made me smile today
I wanted this to be something meaningful, so all day, I waited. Waited for something to make me break wide with smile. No pressure, right? I had some homework to catch up on and while there were some ‘aha’ moments, and moments of realization, nothing made me smile wide. Facebook memories were cute, as were…

October Journal Challenge: Things that went well today
In today’s age of ‘go, go, go’, it is hard to do as Ferdinand and stop and smell the flowers. We don’t always have time to enjoy the little things in our lives, or sometimes, we are blind to them, I don’t know which it is. Things that went well today… The big one was…

October Journal Challenge: People
Going hand in hand with things that made me happy, are people I am happy I got to see or talk to recently… Late last fall (2024), my Mom and I took a trip to see her sister and my cousins (Mom’s nieces). I hadn’t seen my cousins since I was 15 or 16, my…

October Journal Challenge: Something that made me happy today!
I am writing this from The Fox Hotel & Suites in Banff National Park. We just got back from having dinner at the Chili’s Restaurant in the hotel (so much yum), I have a drink on the beside table, for the first time in weeks (if not months), the crazy ringing in my ears isn’t…

October Journal Challenge: What I am grateful for this week
I am grateful for the amazing people in my life. Many of whom I’ve written about before on my blog. Chris, my sister, my husband, my step-mother. All have done good things this week that have made life better for me and I am thankful for them and appreciate them every single day. Late nights.…
