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, 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, 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

Hello Loves, I love my spiritual path. I was raised in an atheist household, which for me, was a blessing. I was able to explore and intuit for myself my own spiritual beliefs. I started down this path when I was twenty years old. I remember perusing the shelves of an ancient bookstore and finding… Continue reading Teachers

Hello Loves, My friendships have been my foundation in my life. I’ve been blessed with many friends. I had my best buds in elementary school who were a gang of tomboys. We ruled the monkey bars, swings, and slide. We played tag and red rover out in the field, and our jeans had grass stains… Continue reading Friendship

Hello Loves, Sorry for the late blog post. I’m recovering from Covid. I am so grateful that I’ve prioritized rest in my life. Whether it’s resting from illness, resting from lack of sleep or exhaustion, or resting to rejuvenate, rest has a rare healing quality that nothing else compares to. I haven’t always been a… Continue reading Rest
