As I write this, it is midweek, and I am preparing to step into a five-day retreat—not as a facilitator, but as a participant.

 For many years, I believed that I had to earn love and be worthy of it. I thought I needed to be the "best" meditator, the most spiritual person, the one who had everything figured out.

 I love and appreciate the time I spend with my incredible mom. I love our conversations, hearing her stories of growing up on a farm in Prince Edward Island and her perspective of how the world is now. At 92, she holds so much wisdom.

As I sit down to write this week, inspiration feels like an effortless flow.

Recently, I had the privilege of facilitating a weekend silent retreat—an experience that was profoundly transformative for everyone involved, including myself.

 At the beginning of each year, I often create a vision board—not expecting everything to manifest exactly as I imagine, but as a way to reflect on what inspires me.

I'm sharing a personal experience I've been navigating the past few months.

I've just completed my meditation practice, and my body feels deeply relaxed. My mind is calm, and there is a sense of emptiness.

I was thinking about how incredible it is that one person can touch so many lives simply by showing up as their most authentic self.

When life gets busy, slow down. What?!

Some of you might notice a reaction in your body or mind to this statement and think, "Well, that seems counterintuitive!" But hear me out.

I've been hearing from many people about their experiences with emotional ups and downs, which can feel quite uncomfortable. Many are asking how to deal with these intense emotions.

In a world filled with noise, chaos, uncertainty, and division, it's easy to feel ungrounded and unsafe.

We often seek comfort and validation externally; however, true solace lies within ourselves.

There's something special about a Fall hike. They bring me so much joy!

We are at a critical time in the evolution of our people and planet.

And while there is much chaos, there is also an uprising of consciousness, which we don't hear or read about in the news.

Last week, I shared my thankfulness for the compassion I have learned and continue to work to develop for myself.

Today, we are celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada.

There is so much to be grateful for.  Right now, I am thankful to have an open heart. I have had many heart-opening experiences in the past several weeks.

I just returned from a remarkable women's retreat I hosted in Sedona, Arizona. It proved to be an enriching and transformative experience on so many levels, and I would love to share about it!

I recently attended a five-day retreat where we explored how we relate to others and the essence of authentic connections.

I am filled with excitement!

I recently read a poem by spiritual teacher Jeff Foster that beautifully captures the profound insight into this moment's sacredness. 

Last week, I explored the importance of pausing and allowing ourselves to relax into the natural rhythm of life. This subject resonates deeply with me; it's not just a topic of interest but a core part of my practice and passion.
