Hello Loves, May has been a month of planting seeds. I can feel the seasonal change in the wind and the rain and the sun. Spring is flowing into summer. I planted my garden plot last weekend. I bought packets of seeds – sunflowers and zinnias, kale and chard, carrots and beets, peas, beans, squash,… Continue reading May Reflections

Hello Loves, April glorious April! The best month ever because it’s my BIRTHDAY month. That’s right! I’m an Aries sun, Cancer moon, and Leo rising with five planets in Taurus. So I’m excitable, emotional and fiery with a big dose of stubbornness. Ha! I have a kazillion ideas and like to move fast onto the… Continue reading April Reflections

Hello Loves, Phew! February was A LOT! When you say 2024 is a year of ACTION, you better be prepared. Ha! I bought a home and had one month to pack up my entire household and move. I sold all of my furniture (except my mattress) and purged my stuff. My mantra was: Sell, Donate,… Continue reading February Reflections

Hello Loves, Happy New year! For me, the year 2024 is the year of ACTION. And with it being the Year of the Dragon, I am holding on to this wild ride like a cowgirl on a bucking bronco. Bring. It. On. This double fire sign is ready and willing. January has been a roller… Continue reading January Reflections

Hello Loves, I really reflected on my health this month. I caught the flu three times since the summer. I’m talking full on fever, body aches and headache, sneezing, congestion and coughing. They lasted three weeks each. I wondered what the heck was going on with my immune system? I’ve been one of those people… Continue reading December Reflections

Hello Loves, I’m deep into the practice of writing. My days have a pattern, a flow, a ritual. Wikipedia defines ritual as a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or revered objects. I think about my day and all of the rituals I enact. I wake up every morning and say thank you for… Continue reading November Reflections

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, 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 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
