      W.E.I.R.D.

      Are you one of those people whom others call -weird- ? Yeah? I am, too. I grew up thinking I was weird, and for the 1st 23-years of my life, believed that the OBO’s I had when I was a child (out of body experiences) were nothing more than elaborate dreams that taunted me. I was fascinated with extraterrestrials (I blame my dad for getting me hooked in Star Trek when I was three) and ghosts. Anything paranormal was interesting and wonderful. Faeries? I believed in them! Magic?

      Creating Your Day

      If you’re like me, the moment you wake up in the morning, you start to think about all the things you have to do for the day. Sometimes, there’s worry. Worry about things that may or may not happen. Often our thoughts are rather negative. I’ve been doing a little experiment. Instead of thinking about all the things that could go wrong, I ask one question: What’s the BEST thing that can happen today? Then, I get all excited about all sorts of wonderful things that can happen,

      A Very Merry Christmas to You

      Can you believe it? Nearly another year has passed. 2018 will soon, slide into 2019 in a silent hush, and humans will pause in the moment, then brace for another rally with themselves. Aren’t we a funny species? So much fear amid so much love for our very own. I hope I live to see the day when the realization sets in that we are all one; the differences we fight about are pointless and non-valid. I think this will be the last Christmas for some in my life; notably my nearly 1

      Succeeding Through Failure

      Think of the last time you failed at something. I’m going to bet you can recall it in great detail. In fact, I know you play the entire scenario in your mind, over and over; a mini movie that you pause at certain intervals to capture and digest all of the littlest details. We analyse our failures with incredible precision to see how/why we didn’t make better choices. We do a lot of: If onlys and what ifs. If only I didn’t do that, this other thing wouldn’t have happened. If o

      Money and Happiness Are Not Synonymous

      When we picture money in our lives (especially a windfall) we feel all giddy about what we can get for ourselves, what adventures we can afford and all of the potential GOOD we can do with it. So it stands to reason that having money = happiness, right? No. In fact, although money is an essential means of existence and to ‘not’ have it can and does cause unhappiness…it’s not money in itself that creates happiness or negates it. Let’s be clear. Money is nothing but a medium of

      Becoming

      Over the past decade or so (probably a bit longer) I’ve been obsessed with personal growth. I decided long ago that I wanted to be the best possible ‘me’ that I could during my stint on Earth. I do believe that you can reinvent yourself every new day and every moment, you can choose whom you want to be. Before you think I’m standing on a soapbox, pointing to my halo – I’m very, very far from Sainthood. That said, if we are conscious of who we are and who we want to become, we

      Ringing in the New

      Welcome to 2018. Here we are, again, looking down the road of yet another year and posing the same questions of ourselves, as we do every year: Will I be happy? Will I be safe? Will I be loved? Will I have enough money? Will I accomplish what I want to? All of these questions bubble up within us like anvil clouds before a massive thunderstorm. They build and grow; becoming worries that sometimes expands into anxiety. It seems every year becomes more surreal and more difficult

      An Endless Summer Riding on the Winds of Change

      2017 has been a very hot and dry summer on the West Coast of Canada. It’s been the worst year for forest fires in our history and I think we’re setting new records for lack of rain. It’s unusual and top that off with the near total eclipse we’ve just had and you may notice a lot of really weird energy, as of late. It’s Sept. 2nd and we’ve got, yet another, heat wave in the Lower Mainland. I can’t remember the last time it actually rained. This is an odd thing to say in Vancou

      Lighting Up the World

      There is a lot going on in the world; I’m stating the obvious, here. International political relationships haven’t been this bad in a long time. I think there are various degrees of concern. While many simply go about their day-to-day lives and never give war/poverty/violence on a Global Scale a second thought…there are others that are all too aware, that if unchecked, this could escalate into something really, really, bad and before we know it, we could be plunging into a th

      10 Things to Know When You Lose Your Job

      Sometimes we plan our changes in life and sometimes we don’t…like unexpectedly losing your job. This happened, recently, to my partner. While he’s dealing with the upheaval of emotions, fairly well, he has his ‘panic’ moments. Thankfully, he has me. *wink* Most of us have been there at some point in our lives. It’s shocking if we’re not expecting it and it plays with our deepest insecurities as humans; the dreaded: “I’m not good enough.” or “I’ve failed”. Typically, neither a

      Taking Time to be Creative

      Not everyone is an artist. Although I dabble in photography and graphic art as well as writing, I’m far from being one, myself. But that’s okay and I’m good with what I do. The thing is, being creative comes in many forms and focusing your energy on ‘creation’ is one of the best things we can do for our world and ourselves. The term, creativity, evokes a plethora of wonderful meanings such as…imagination, originality and innovation. Without these things, our planet would be v

      Conquering the World

      Sometimes we want to change everything all at once and are impatient about having everything coming together in a timely manner. When things start not going according to our plans, we can become frustrated, angry and want to give up. This is the time to: Stop. Listen, and weigh in to what’s really happening. Are we taking on too much? Is everything falling apart because we have too many plates spinning? This is more common than you think. We live in a fast-paced world with in

      Manifestation II - Visualization

      I’m not writing anything new, here. This isn’t earth shattering news but it merits repeating because 1) it works and 2) so many forget to do this. It’s easy and doesn’t take up much time. As a quick digression and on the subject of time I always hear: But I don’t have enough time to do that! Yes. You do. You have nothing BUT time. It’s simply a matter of what you choose to do with the time that you have. I visualize a lot. I see/visualize money floating and falling all around

      Manifesting Part I – Writing a Letter to the Universe

      Many moons ago, my then husband had a friend named Joanne. Joanne was one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. My ex was half convinced she was a witch (the good kind) and with wild raven tresses that fell to her waist and piercing sky-blue eyes, she looked the part. Joanne was super cool. She was also very new age and talked a lot about energy, bringing what you want into your life and generally working with the flow of the Universe. She had a beat-up old car that s
