In the video below, Brene Brown takes our hearts on a journey that so many of us travel or, if fortune has been good, have travelled-to resolution… the dark road of shame. It’s been my mission to clean up old energy that really doesn’t serve my vision. It’s surprising how the energy from faulty beliefs ends up manifesting in...
Fear – our world is ripe with it. There is no one I have ever met that does not deal with it on a regular basis. Fear will slow down or completely halt a person on their daring journey to something greater. And, journey to something greater can include a career, parenthood, a budding...
Love and compassion do not drain us, they deepens us. Are you okay with going deeper… and expanding your heart? For close to 3 years, I volunteered in Palliative Care at my (then) local hospital. We were instructed to serve the patients – help them with what they might need/want. The medical staff took...

Part of the reason that I chose to drastically reduce my consumption of meat (basically, I’m 98% vegetarian) shows up in an alarming documentary recently aired on CBC’s Marketplace show. It is imperative to be aware of this problem because it has far-reaching health effects, particularly if you’ve taken many doses of antibiotics and...
One hundred years ago, in Canada, women were not legally considered “a person” and thus not allowed to vote! It wasn’t until 1918 that womens’ voices were finally able to be heard when they acquired the right to vote. We owe a lot to the women who fought for these rights and, as the...
Well, we are beginning a new year and I have to say that 2010 was filled with a lot of ……… experiential learning, so while it was NOT a particularly easy year (some of it really sucked), it was tasted, lived and learned. I am thinking of calling 2010 my year of NO (…and,...
