Hello Loves, Every year on this day I honor my ancestors. First I clean my home – dusting, vacuuming, organizing, tidying, and letting go of the old. Then I clear off my altar, wipe it down, and ring my cymbals to set the energy. This is a holy day. I act with presence, love, and… Continue reading October Reflections

Hello Loves, September was an adventure! I flew from Canada to Taiwan for a three week trip with my fiancé. She left her birth country when she was sixteen years old and had not been back for sixteen years. I love the serendipity of that timing. Our first week was spent reconnecting with her family.… Continue reading September Reflections

Hello Loves, August was a beautiful month of connections. I’ve been reading this amazing, thoughtful, and well-researched book called Platonic – How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make and Keep Friends. Marisa G. Franco writes, “Connection fundamentally shapes who we are.” She has offered six proven practices that lead us to make and… Continue reading August Reflections

Hello Loves, Oh, how I love summer! My garden is sharing her bounty, the river lets me cleanse in her clear waters, and the sun nourishes me with her rays. Beaches and barbeques and bare feet oh my. Ocean swims and salty eyelashes, towel lounging and reading. Road trips and camping and hiking and adventures.… Continue reading July Reflections

Hello Loves, June was a leading and learning month. I taught my writing workshop, Write From Your Heart-From Wounded to Warrior, at a second-stage housing for vulnerable women and children. I offer this workshop for free with journals and pens, refreshments, and childcare. For a month we meet in this supportive circle of women. My… Continue reading June Reflections

Hello Loves, I’m in the writing zone. My repetitive but flowy morning routine involves journaling then meditation, yoga or dancing like a freak in my living room, making toast and tea, posting affirmational quotes on social media, and pulling tarot cards for the day. These rituals help me feel happy, healthy, and clear – which… Continue reading May Reflections

Hello Loves, The quickening of spring has opened the floodgates to creativity. My friend was a resident writer in April at The Historic Joy Kogawa House in Vancouver where she hosted an event on Transforming Trauma Thru Words and Music. Guest musician and writers were – Jerry Moon, Jonathan Poh, and Wiley Wei-Chiun Ho –… Continue reading April Reflections

Hello Loves, March is the month of money autonomy for me. The definition of autonomy in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is to be self-governed. To have self-directing freedom and especially moral independence. I really like the sound of that.  For the longest time I’ve wanted to understand money on the physical plane, but also the spiritual… Continue reading March Reflections

Hello Loves, So much has happened this month. I joined a gay choir! Oh the joy of singing at the top of my lungs. How freeing. And the sense of belonging is heart-opening. There’s no competition or judgement, just the beautiful intertwining of our voices and energy. We are silly and laugh often. We are… Continue reading February Reflections

Hello Loves, Happy New Year. I’m coming out of a dormant phase in my life, where my focus was on the internal more than the external. I feel like a sprout emerging from the depths of the soil, ready to show off my fancy dress of flower petals. I am eager and delighted and enthusiastic… Continue reading January Reflections

Hello Loves, I live in a small town 80km east of Vancouver. I have called this community my home for over thirteen years now. I decided that I wanted to deepen my connection to my community by finding more people in alignment with who I am today, and what interests me. I pulled out paper… Continue reading Community

Hello Loves, This Aries would have gone nuts by now if hadn’t moved my body. My number one stress reliever, trauma healer, anxiety cure is movement. I love moving my body. I need to move my body. If I don’t move my body, my energy either gets stagnant and sluggish and I don’t do a… Continue reading Movement
