Happy New Year
Good blessed morning! As I sit here at the start of this beautiful new year..this clean slate, this untouched blanket of snow..the birth of something new and great…I have spent the last 4 hours in mostly silent contemplation. Contemplating how far I have come. Reflecting on all the amazing lessons I have learned in the…

Perserverence and Ego
This week, I’d like to share a story of perseverance paying off, and how I had to get my ego out of my way. So nearby to where I live, I had heard there was an owl that lived in a tree in a cemetery. I saw pictures and ever since, have been determined to…

Knowing your worth
I’ve been talking alot this week about knowing your value. Since going back to my Barre Blend workouts and doing the accompanying daily affirmations again, it’s really had me thinking about this topic. There is such a misconception out in the world that if someone values themselves and therefore carries themselves differently that they’re either…

Older and Wiser?
I had a milestone birthday this week. I turned the big 5-0! Turning this age was not what I was anticipating. I’m not sure what I was expecting…but I was surprised with how I felt about it. I will spare the platitudes: age is just a number and all that nonsense (although it really is).…

When Quitting is Actually Winning
It’s ok to be a quitter. I know that we are taught the opposite growing up, but I’m telling you now, that mindset is toxic. Now let me clarify. I am not talking here about just giving up on something because it’s too hard, or painful or we just don’t wanna. I am talking about…

You can’t fix everything
A couple of weeks ago, I did a Facebook post on my page about a turkey that appeared out of nowhere in my neighbourhood. Turkeys are common in my area, however, this one is out of the ordinary as it’s alone, and has shown up in the city rather than a few kilometres up the…

Control
The workout program I have been doing is called 9 Week Control Freak. It’s a great physical workout but it’s also strong in messaging about being in control of the things you can. It got me thinking a lot and I’m glad I am doing it because I think it’s needed by everyone given the…

Motivation
All this week I have been posting on my social media about what motivates us. I’ve talked alot about intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation. Just to recap, intrinsic is the internal stuff: pride of a job well done, the need to just do it from the depth of your soul stuff. Extrinsic is the external stuff:…

How will you emerge?
It’s the end of 2020. The end of what’s been a very challenging year. We’ve been separated from family, friends, co-workers. People have lost jobs. Too many people have died. It’s just been alot to put it mildly. And now, as we head into a time of year that’s already very difficult for so many,…

Self Shaming
This week I want to talk about self shaming because of things you see either on social media, in person or on tv. I have decided that that is just silliness. Getting caught up in the shaming has impacted how I run my side hustle, which is being a Beachbody coach. I LOVE being a…

Mindset Growth and Lessons
I’ve been working on my mindset for quite some time, even before Kayla’s passing. I have completely changed as a person. I’ve come a really long way. From being a super submissive housewife in a terrible marriage who had such bad anxiety attacks I would leave the grocery cart in the middle of the grocery…

Perspective
I want to talk today about perspective and freaking out about things that, in the grand scheme of things, are either really minor or actually unimportant!! I’m talking about stuff that I see on social media or hear in passing…even (and I’m sorry) complaints people voice to me. We all do it. Myself included. We…

The stories we tell ourselves
Do you believe you are worthy of happy relationships? A fit and beautiful body? Wealth? Most of us will say yes, of course we do. But deep down do we really? Does your inner dialogue support this? I’m still working through You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and it’s been giving me so…

How we know we are making mental progress
I made a promise to myself when I started this blog that I wanted it to be 2 things: 1. True to myself and followers 2. That my words would help at least one person. I know I’m achieving the latter based on feedback and comments and that makes me so happy! This brings me…

Journey or Destination?
On a recent road trip, I started thinking about what part of these excursions I focus more on, the journey or the destination. Most of the time, I am the passenger, which affords me the luxury of casually noting the scenery as we are on our way to wherever we are headed that day. I…

My Toolbox-Part One
First things first….last week after I published my post, I decided to clean up the site and organize things a little better. This is my first blog and using WordPress is something I am still learning. In my haste…I freaking deleted my original post. I was so upset and feeling a bit frustrated. I was…
