Many times in life you will be faced with decisions on how you want to live your life, nourish your body and feed your soul. There are so many different approaches one could take, that sometimes we forget that we have a choice! Do you want fine china or clay pottery, a log cabin in the…
Planticize to Prosperity
When I received my CANcer diagnosis at the end of 2015 I felt, for the first time in my life, like I really had absolutely NO control over anything. As I was still fretting about the possibility of loosing my hair (which I didn’t – Yay me!) I was signed up for a six month…
So Long, Old Friend. I Hope to See You Only in my Memories.
Last Wednesday, July 6th, 2016, I experienced one of the most powerful days of my entire life. Last Wednesday I saw the end to a very transformational and both humbling and empowering half a year long journey. It is without a doubt that I can say that I am lucky to have been served this…
Hakuna My-Mantra
We have all seen it, and we have all had even the slightest of smiles wash over our faces and felt warm and fluttery feelings in our tummies as we watch the scene from the Lion King movie where Timon and Pumbaa dance through the jungle and swing through the trees as they sing about…

Camping with a Capital “C”
For many Canadians, the Victoria Day long weekend marks the annual inaugural camping trip. In this case, my husband, Travis, and I are like most Canadians. This is the weekend we get to stretch our campers legs after a long winter of hibernation, dust off our go-to camping flannels, stand in line for an hour…
The Truth
“I have so many things to celebrate in my life, that if I had a glass of champagne for each one, I’d be drunk all the time” Our social environments are constantly reminding us of the bad, the ugly and the unfortunate. In fact, the media is so good at doing this that we actually FORGET…
Giving it All to Give Back
Although I have always gotten the warm fuzzy feeling whenever I saw an advertisement, campaign, what-have-you for a charity, I have never actually “had” a charity. We all know that charities are very important things and that the system would not work without them. We also know that their purpose is to help those in…
Bluebirds and Miracles
Well, it is only one o’clock in the afternoon, and I have already experienced at least 100 miracles today. First miracle of the day: I woke up and got out of bed! Alright, let’s all stop being so hard on ourselves, and acknowledge that we should all be extremely proud of ourselves every single day,…
The Practice of Positivity
All my life, people have told me that I am a very positive person. For the majority of my life, I didn’t really think anything of it – maybe I just smile a lot? Maybe they just wanted to say something nice? Maybe that was some people’s way of saying that I am unrealistic?! Whatever…
