For the JOY of it

I’ve been dreaming about 2008. Recently, a calm voice inside whispered: 2008… just for the JOY of it.
Could I really dedicate a year to blissful joy? Could I use that as my magic decision making wand? Oh yes, I’ll do X… just for the joy of it. No further explanation or justification needed.

The Days After

I sit in the quiet of my office munching my morning staple… raw almonds. Here’s what I know to be true for me. I love Christmas. I love gathering with family. I love Christmas lights, joyous carols and the smells of yummy food. And yet, my body is screaming… stop! Too much refined flour and […]

Winter Solstice

Winter Soltice is upon us – our longest time of darkness. It is the turning point to greater light, as nights grow shorter and days grow longer.
In this moment, I honour darkness. It is against this silent backdrop that we may see the light – a reflection of light that lives inside every man, woman […]

I just can’t help myself… I love creating works of beauty. This stuff just pours out […]

Heart Glow

Today I sang at the Centre for Spiritual Enrichment. Talk about an enriching experience. If I could have lit a candle for every heart that glowed as I sang, I’d have started the place on fire. I’ve come a long way from the days of singing to get it technically right. Now my job is […]

Light of the Soul

Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense […]

The Little Things

The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.

I’m Alive

Yesterday I asked “How are you feeling?” As I drove to work, a voice inside said, “Wait a minute, there’s a more important question…”
Are you feeling?
We live in a society that favours avoidance over feeling. I remember being highly engaged in a work project a few years back when a co-worker said to me, […]
