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,…

What I am feeling hopeful about going into 2026
How do I put this into words? I have a feeling, an inclination, an idea. Last night (December 18) I finished up another women’s circle – this one was themed Creating an Intentional Life. Week by week we discussed how to show up for ourselves, how to reclaim our identity, and how to find our…

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…

Three things I wouldn’t change about this year
Finding some light in this otherwise troubled year wasn’t especially difficult. Remembering the specifics proved a bit more colourful as my usual steel trap of a memory is overloaded these days. Lots of things being processed but not necessarily a lot of output. The little circle is whirling, but not much is happening! Now, most…

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…

This year, we have some new friends – a few friends from my Mom’s collections, including the “f**king” elves… Names such because my sister was forever putting the elves in compromising…

Courage to know when to stop
Today, I was to write about one way I’ve shown courage over the past year. I had three different examples from my life that I felt illustrated how I’d shown courage in 2025. However, after a couple of very long and somewhat stressful days, I have decided my courage is going to come from knowing…

Three positive things in 2025
I am, or I try to be, a positive person. Glass half full kind of outlook. It can be easy to lose sight of that sometimes. Even with the gratitude practices and positive affirmations, when things don’t seem to being going the way you feel they should, it is hard to not be discouraged. But,…

Three people I had dinner with in 2025…
You never know when you last meal with someone will be. The night before Mom’s surgery, October 27, she wanted A&W. A Mama burger (with cheese) with fries, and a Sprite. We watched an episode of original Star Trek – Cloud Minders, I think. She ate the burger, half of the fries and only a…
