Creating and maintaining healthy boundaries is a life skill. It requires a confidence that allows us to feel as though we deserve to be respected, and though it seems many of us are born with it, often it slowly wanes over time. As our childish innocence falls to the side, we try to figure out […]
I am raising a son and I couldn’t be happier or love him more. He is adorable, loving, and adventurous. Everything is still new and exciting to him. And, as he moves into a new phase of his life—kindergarten—I am awakened to new fears, fears that I never considered while raising my daughter because, statistically, […]
The holiday season is upon us once again and as always, it is a lot. A lot of energy, a lot of noise, a lot chaos, a lot of love. We are commonly told that the joy is in giving rather than receiving, and that the most important part of this season is being with […]
Gratitude has become one of the most commonly recommended forms of self care and while I, like many others, have heard about gratitude journals, gratitude stones, and daily gratitude practices for years, I didn’t really believe it would work until I experienced it for myself.

The concept that we are all one, connected to each other by invisible energy, can be a struggle to accept. Not because we don’t want to believe that there is some greater force that we are all a part of, but because it can be hard to understand. At least it was for me and […]
The first time I read the Celestine Prophecy, it felt like magic. Something I could grab onto to make sense of this life that seemed so bewildering. The concepts of energy being visible and shareable, of people developing spiritual control over our own lives, was completely new to me and more exciting than anything else […]
Throughout our history, the Horse has been recorded as a figure of importance in mythologies and cultures around the world. Spiritual messages are believed to be passed through sightings of horses, and as spirit guides, the colours, markings, and bearing of the horse in question can indicate the type of guidance we are receiving. According […]
One morning as I was writing in my daily gratitude journal, I was overcome with a deep and profound appreciation for imagination. My own, as well as Imagination on a much broader scope.
