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…

What I learned this year
This year has not been an easy year for my family. When the calendar turned over 334 days ago, I was excited for the new year, new beginnings, and the new adventures. With a renewed sense of purpose and a plan to continue working on completing my 50×50 list, I figured the mid-decade point was…

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: 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: Opportunities ahead for me

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: 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…

Day 7: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven places
What a sweet one… Eleven places – and not necessarily fancy places we’ve travelled. Special places to us. This warmed my heart and filled my mind. Unsure what I am talking about? You can catch the intro post here, but in short… The wellness studio I go to is running a free workshop this week,…

Day 6: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven artists
Day six is exciting for me! Eleven artists for whom we are grateful. Now, specifically, when she was speaking on the challenge, she was listing musicians, but for me, personally, it is broader than that. Art is all encompassing, while music most certainly is an immense and vast part of my life, there are definitely…
