Over the years, I have been asked, ‘If I meditate for 20 minutes daily, how long will it take me to feel peaceful?’

Next weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving, but why wait to be grateful?

Something I am grateful for every day is my breath. 

Many years ago, I remember a teacher saying, "If you are busy digging holes, you will never find water."

Fourteen years ago, my partner in life and business decided to end our relationship. We cared for each other and continue to remain good friends today, but we knew it was time for a change. 

After taking time off this summer, it feels great to reconnect with you again!  

As you likely know from following along with my Mindful Mondays, I love to take walks. In nature, in the neighbourhood, just about anywhere.

I want to introduce you to an ancient Hawaiian prayer that is a powerful technique for forgiveness. I’ve used it for years now, and it’s a go-to tool that is simple and powerful. 

Many of us find it difficult to accept compliments but easy to believe the slightest criticism.

I love it when something so simple turns out to be so exquisite.

The beach is one of my happy places; open sky, fresh air, waves tumbling in, and sand on my feet. I breathe deeper when I see the vastness and space, and my heart opens. Everything falls away; nothing else exists.

For me, the kitchen is a special place. It always has been.

There are no guarantees on the journey of self-discovery, and you know what? Our ego hates this.

It's interesting how the Universe supports our soul's evolution in such unexpected and mysterious ways.

For me, the morning is a powerful time to connect to myself and the present moment, to set my intentions, and set the stage for my day. 

I recently listened to spiritual teacher Matt Kahn speak, and he said something so refreshing that I wanted to share it with you.

I recently held a weekend retreat with an incredible group of women. I was deeply touched by how we knowingly or unknowingly supported each other with our presence and by simply being who we are.

Do you ever feel like you could use a break from thinking?

Today, I had a session with my mentor that touched me deeply and was very impactful. As I sit down now to write, I feel tender.

Once in a while, I have absolutely nothing to write about for Mindful Monday. I sit down to write, but it feels like nothing's there. Usually, ideas flow through me but this week, nothing.
