Someone you helped (this past week)
I don’t know if we often think about helping other’s out very often… Like going out of our way to help someone. When was the last time you saw a car stranded on the side of the road and stopped to see if they needed help? For me, that was on Sunday. I had been…

Writing for me and Mom in December
Since October didn’t quite go as planned, and I need something to keep my brain busy, I am going to try and write again every day in December. I do have all kinds of things going on, but I need something that will keep me distracted, if that makes sense. It is a busy month…

October Journal Challenge: What is failure?
I had plans for this month. More or less. It had been my intention to write every day this month. I had an outline of what I was going to write about each and every day – a small prompting idea to keep on task and focused, something to share, not always a big idea,…

October Journal Challenge: Happiest Moment of the Day
One of my yoga teachers says things that happen have no traction if you don’t give them a story. Boys and girls, today was all about ‘things that happen’ and as much as I didn’t want to give them a story, some days, you need to succumb to the story… It all started yesterday. If…

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.

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…
