Do you ever wake up in the early morning hours and feel like you need to spend time with yourself? That happens to me every now and then. I usually don’t mind it because I feel like it’s the universe giving me a little nudge to discover what my heart, mind and body want toContinue reading “Notes to myself at 4am”

Inspiration from nature
Lately I have been looking at nature to be inspired. Sometimes I don’t even try to find inspiration, it’s more like the beauty in nature is calling to me, asking me to be present and witness its beauty. Whenever this happens, I feel renewed, awakened and more alive. I make a special effort to breatheContinue reading “Inspiration from nature”
How a drag show gave me the boost I needed
On Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure to attend a drag show in Kemptville that was put on by North Grenville Pride. I almost didn’t go…I was so tired last week and I was feeling much more anxious than usual. I had pretty much already decided not to go, but then a whisper within meContinue reading “How a drag show gave me the boost I needed”
The Whole Spectrum of Me
Lately I have been more acutely aware of how there is a lot more to me than I thought. I have been using the imagery of our solar system and all of the planets orbiting around the sun to help me. When I am lost in thoughts and am overwhelmed, I feel like I amContinue reading “The Whole Spectrum of Me”
Messages in the wind
I live in Kemptville, Ontario, Canada and right now, it is fall. Fall is such a gorgeous season. It’s a time when our trees explode into gorgeous bright colors, almost like a celebration before the depth of slumber during winter. I love fall. It’s a time of transition, of nature celebrating her glory and beautyContinue reading “Messages in the wind”

Isn’t it mine? Doesn’t it belong to me? Despite the fact that I am carrying it around,Continue reading “Where does my power go?”
Innocence
As an adult, I was living my life feeling like something was missing. I looked for it everywhere, but I couldn’t find it because I didn’t know what it was. I was a lovely, caring person but I felt unwhole despite the beautiful relationships I had in my life. I was super blessed and shouldContinue reading “Innocence”
Life is different at the surface
Do you ever feel like life has many layers and levels? Like it’s different when you live on the surface of the waters of your life, compared to the middle or even the deepest depths? Lately, I’ve been so aware of the difference. I will attempt to explain. You know the bugs that swirl inContinue reading “Life is different at the surface”
The process of maturing
Lately I have been feeling like I am in a process. I also realized that I am not always kind to myself as I go through this process. I don’t think cheese sitting on a shelf to age and become more flavorful judges itself. I also don’t think that little seedlings are hard on themselvesContinue reading “The process of maturing”
Second chance
Today, I realized that life is often given a second chance to thrive. This lavender plant looked dead when we transplanted it from my dad’s house 3 hours away to our yard. After a month, it is starting to come back to life. In the fall, we will trim it all back and see whatContinue reading “Second chance”
