Slowing Down
And the wondering goes on. I’m so grateful for having slowed down in the way a process life. Rather than being in a big hurry to get through questions and feelings and problems and confusion,
My Heavy Heart
I was quite disturbed yesterday when I read about what David Suzuki had said about climate change. While he did not overtly sanction or call for terrorist acts, in our current volatile climate it sure
Rest
What a difference a day makes, or rather a good night’s sleep. Sleep was very elusive for me Friday night, so I was barely able to function on Saturday after only 3 hours sleep. I
Gratitude

Beauty and Grace
Looks like wintery weather is making its first appearance here in Edmonton with a little snow today and the promise of more. I love the changing seasons and the inherent beauty in whatever season we
Next!
Funny how when I get to a certain idea or place in consciousness, I start seeing other people’s posts about much the same thing. They were probably always there; I just wasn’t seeing things from

Self-Forgiveness
A new day, a new intention and wouldn’t you know it, it wasn’t long before I disappointed myself by doing the very thing I did not want to do. I set intentions with my prayer
A Soulful Day

Letting Go
Wow, it’s been a while. Life seems to have been a bit busy of late. I got our taxes done in this past week which always takes longer and has more glitches than expected but
Upward and Onward
Just a little update from my post of the 9th. There’s been some major shifting going on and I’m certainly not in the depths of the darkness anymore, but I also know it isn’t over.

Is Love Enough?
As I look on and feel into what is happening in the world, I wonder, what is mine to do? The first thing that comes to mind is of course, is to be a contributor
Welcoming and Letting Go
On this, the last day of February, the month of love, I would like to share with you the Welcome Process which has been such a blessing to me in these most uncertain times. It
Self-Honesty
And the beat goes on… I’m not getting into social media and news so much these past couple of days, it’s just been too hard to hold the centre. Actually, yesterday I finally got in
