It is a new day and I am grateful. For every challenging day I have, I know that a good rest and a new dawn follow. It may not be a better day, but it is different and I know I am also different. Growth happens during rest and I feel that I have more … Continue reading Dawn.

Doubt.
"How can I share my gifts with the world? *Live my experience and write.* Spin, spin, spin. "I'm not a writer." Spin, spin, spin. "I'm a terrible example of how to live a successful life." Spin, spin, spin. "Maybe this means I need to..." Spin, spin, spin... *The fact that this is being pondered so … Continue reading Doubt.
So… What Do I Want?
You can have whatever or be whatever you want. That's cool. So... What do I want? I have struggled with that question for so much of my life, but I know the truth of it is that I did not struggle when I was young. Very young. I grew up with several siblings. I remember … Continue reading So… What Do I Want?
Surroundings.
What are your surroundings like? Do you like the items you have in your home? Do you like the sights and sounds of your city and neighborhood? Do you like the smells in your bedroom? Do you feel like you are able to relax in most of the places you frequent? I've struggled with my … Continue reading Surroundings.
Decisive.
I get anxious when I am indecisive. Not knowing feels dangerous to me and I commonly look to others to inform my next actions and to alleviate my stress. This doesn't honour my highest self.

Dress.
"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." I grew up hearing this. The only issue I had with it was that I didn't know what job I wanted. I didn't have any idea how to dress because I had no idea what I wanted to do. Over the years I've settled … Continue reading Dress.
Soak.
I grew up taking baths... We weren't a shower family. But as I grew up and set off on my own, I took on the habit of showering and dropped baths altogether. As I have been moving through this space, I find that my body wants me to take the occasional soak. It's been extremely … Continue reading Soak.
Spring.
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. In the past I have not gotten on board with Spring and the promise of new growth and new opportunity. This year I am moved to behave differently and with more mindful intention. The seasons are a cyclical opportunity to move through phases of expansion and contraction. … Continue reading Spring.
Hidden Joy.
Joy doesn't come from the absence of misery or difficulty, it often arises despite it. It can come from acknowledging reality without grasping and causing more suffering and allowing what is happening to just be. As well, trusting your intuition and moving through adverse times gently and with deep reverence for what you are being … Continue reading Hidden Joy.
Root.
The Root Chakra (the Muladhara Chakra) is the place of security and stability. Safety. What comes to mind when you think of your safest feeling place? For me, it's my bed. When I'm not feeling well or well connected I can get snuggled in and safe. My dog is usually with me... further protection from … Continue reading Root.
