What I am ready to leave behind in 2025
This post has take me a couple of days to write because it is a bit of a difficult topic for me to write about… While the concept of ‘letting go’ or ‘leaving things behind’ seems very easy, the practical application, to truly leave these things behind, takes planning and work. I did a workshop…

Memories from the past year that make me smile
My Dad got a cat and he and my step-mom are doting new pawrents. Cleo is an adorable little tuxedo kitten they got from the Humane Society. She is a sweet, well tempered, well behaved kitten that likes people, treats, and her large toy collection. My Dad and step-Mom post many pictures of her and…

Three things I am grateful for this year
Gratitude should surround us but sometimes, it gets lost. It isn’t always easy to find, or it is hard to see that gratitude doesn’t have to be big or flashy. Something as simple as being thankful or appreciative for the sunrise or a hot meal is a way to see gratitude in our everyday. Earlier…

What I love about the people I am with today (December 20)
Today was my family Christmas. I got together with my Dad, step-Mom, siblings, spouses, and the kids. My aunt and uncle joined us too this year. Notably missing was our Mom, who yes, always joined us, even when my step-Dad was alive – he came too. Our parents always made the effort to get along,…

How I feel loved (right now)
I had to have a think on this. Not because I haven’t felt surrounded by love lately, I have, but because how am I feeling it is different. How am I internalizing it, how is it showing up for me, how am I processing it, how am I accepting it. Am I accepting it? People…

During my yoga teacher training this weekend, we were learning about how to do chanting and mantras. Our facilitator share one with us, which is one I am familiar with from other courses, and while we meditating to it, she said ‘send healing out to your community, who ever that it’ and I was unable…

Ways to bring a little more light into your home
I am a little late today, but I had to wait until it was dark to write tonight’s post. Today, I wanted to share ways I (we) bring a little more light into our house in the dark days of winter. As we approach the day of the year that gives us the fewest hours…

One way to give back…
I don’t know if I will be able to write this without crying… I am already in tears – it has been one of those days. The stark reality that this Christmas will be a Christmas without my Mom. Mom was, at least for the past six years, always with us on Christmas. Prior to…

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
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…
