  • Be Curious About Life’s-Limiting Beliefs

    Few days ago, in a conversation with Kent, a   author of Biology of the Brain, a hormonal expert, who asked “aren’t you curious, without judgment, why as a capable person you appear to have given up on yourself?” I responded what do you mean?  He said, you are a Founder of a not-for profit…

  • THE FAMILY I CHOOSE

    THE FAMILY I CHOOSE

    The saying goes that we don’t pick our family, but we do pick  our friends. I question that! Sisters Cahiron Said another way, I believe that our soul, our true essence, picks the family we are meant to be born into and we decide how living within our family can help us to show up…

  • We Should Never Forget The Impact of Indian Residential Schools

    Dene Youth drummers There is no worshiping of idols, or of a God, only the deepest respect and appreciation for Natural Law.  What that means for me, as an Indigenous person is to respect nature, the trees, the water, the wind, the sun, and all living beings, the bears and birds to name a couple.  This is the…

  • Self Discovery is a Process  

    Self Discovery is a Process  

    Here is an interesting fact about me, I have aphantasia, which means I cannot form images in my mind of objects that are not in front of me. When I close my eyes and try to imagine an image, all I’m left with is a blank slate, nothing but my feelings.   The ability to…

  • Life peppered with Gratitude is a life worth living

    Being happy occurs when you live intentionally and your best life, authentically.     I read in a greeting card that hummingbirds float free of time carrying our hopes for love, joy, and celebration. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, and beauty is everywhere, and our personal connections has meaning.  Laughter is life’s sweetest…

  • We Don’t Know What We have Until it is Gone

    What does it mean to love yourself?  To me, it means to have gratitude for my entire body, Yes, even my limitations. When I do a gratitude meditation, I have never felt it was difficult to be grateful for what I have because of the times for short periods when I lost the use of…

    He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother – The Hollies

    We are the quantum matter of the universe, which makes us one as well as brothers and sisters. I wish everyone could really understand just how heavy that is because then there’d be no more hate towards one another  .   I will never stop loving my brothers and sisters. This song makes me appreciate my…

  • WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT IN ALBERTA

    In January 2024, Arctic cold blanketed much of North America, which  led to  a conversation on social media about a failing electricity grid,  that threatens to divide the owners of fossil fuel cars (or ICE – short for internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles (EV) in Alberta and elsewhere where oil is king. Albertans love…
