TO LEAD WITH LOVE
How many times a day do we silently— or not so silently— think to ourselves, “If only I had…” “If only I could…” “If only I could be more like her, like him, like them,” Anyone but ourselves. Such self-condemnation. Imagine saying this to your best friend. Or your child. “Why don’t you have more […]
Why do we stay attached to behaviours that are not good for us? We get some form of payoff. It might not be visible or tangible. Some payoffs are invisible and / or intangible. But there is always a payoff. We work too hard so that someone will say.. “Oh… you are working too hard. […]
My new pace is no longer a fast-paced race I do not need first place in order to find my true PLACE. I no longer humour in my tail to chase. Nor in my pocket do I hide the Ace To pull out when too tired to face my life. My protective can of mace […]
Perspective is everything, and the frame that we choose is essential to our happiness and well-being. Lessons seem to be dropping down in every corner of my life. An adventure for sure! The other day, I was in the middle of my ritual: hot tub, swim, steam, and sit-up regime. Yes, in that order. ALWAYS. […]
Beautiful = be fully YOU
Do not look to others for permission to live out the unique mission of YOUR life!
It just doesn’t make any sense This stance of perpetual defence Waiting for the smallest offence To create yet another war of nonesense We’ve been here already so many times On and over this same fence I so wish I could make reference to all of this In the past tense But here we are again… […]
Do you ever fall into the habit of self abandon in order to inhabit someone else’s projection of you? I love that the word habit literally inhabits the word inhabit! A habit can be used to describe a tendency or a practice, as well as a long garment worn by a religious order. Our tendencies […]
We treat ourselves like a perpetual DIY project As though we need to fix every imperfection and defect Like we are not good enough as we are Therefor needing to incessantly correctEvery internal and external aspect Our sense of self we subtly and not so subtly reject The kind compliments we manage to deflect Instead […]
Why is it so hard for us to be The versions of ourselves that others know and see? Why do we wait for others to set us free? We contort ourselves to make us “Another’s cup of tea” How ironic this is..if your Preferred hot drink is coffee! We run around claiming to be So […]
My perfect day Is filled with laughter and play No matter the weather Whether the sky is sunny or grey Although..I must say. I do prefer the suns golden ray I love to find my way To more than one cafe And visit my friends stores Knowing that I wont leave without needing to pay […]
What if we no longer tried to fix what wasn’t broken in the first place? What if we loved, cherished and adored our humanity the way that those closest to us do? What if we could stand in the middle of life..chaotic as it is..knowing that it was all happening for us. that life is […]

Sometimes we just need to unwind From all that goes on in our mind From all that keeps us in an emotional bind We can take a break from the daily grind We don’t always have to be so damn refined! We don’t have to keep pushing as though we were behind If you take a pause, you wont be fined But […]
When we move out of love and into fear It’s not always so clear The obvious signs don’t always appear We try to drive straight But we need to veer Sometimes we want to disappear Or We hang on too tight- We persevere! Believing that trying harder is better- Way more cavalier The world will […]
