Do Foods We Eat Fill A Void Or Feed Our Body?

The foods we eat, do they fill a void or feed our body? How do we analyze what is good or bad for us? Simply put, how do you feel after eating or drinking certain foods? We all have some foods that upset our stomach and our gut. Were you in a hurry and chomped down the food without even noticing its taste or aroma? Hurry, hurry, hurry. We do that a lot, don't we? Were you calm and able to enjoy the meal? Or were you upset and agitated in the middle of an argument? Our stomach and intestines and more all want a peaceful environment. It's like riding over a bumpy road at high speed. Things get jostled around and sometimes they break. Do you want to be…

When Struggling In Life Do We Rise Up or Give Up?

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

I've been quiet for a while, moving through my own struggles in life. I was living with swelling and pain in my body, have been working it through and learned a lot. I'm on the other side of it now, recovering nicely. Quite thankful on that, but it did make me aware of a lot I had not dealt with. We think that we've looked at everything and healer type people are supposed to be perfect and always healthy. Well, gosh, every one of us has Stuff! Anyone who tells you they've dealt with everything and everything's just fine. Okay, well, they can see. I hope they have, and I hope they are, but there can be some speed bumps come up that you don't expect. Like for me,…

Life Memories and Mulberries

Food, Lifestyle, Nature, Relationships

Have you ever had the opportunity to go berry picking? I'm not talking about the little packages of berries you'd pick up at the store. I did a lot of berry picking when I was young, and it was a favourite activity. It usually also involved a chance to go out for a picnic with my mom and grandfather, Cappy Guy. My mom would prepare the meal and pack it up for the three of us. We would take off in Cappy’s little car, which he never did seem to get, to handle and how to shift it properly! So I remember bouncing around while riding in the back seat, but I loved every second of the trip. After dinner, they would sit and have coffee together and Cappy would…

Strong Women Are Valuable

Lifestyle, Relationships

Strong women are valuable because they are aware of their own worth and recognize the strengths and potential of others. They communicate clearly and directly, and expect others to do the same. Women are feeling more empowered and have more authority and leadership roles. Commitment and dedication are in their nature, they follow through 100% A strong woman is quick-witted and articulate, which can be intimidating for some people, including her partner, family, and co-workers. She can quickly spot weak characters and won’t tolerate excuses. She knows that direct communication is an essential part of finding solutions to problems. Her priority is to get results, so she may seem impatient or bossy at times to get things done well and efficiently. She won’t sugarcoat things with fake smiles and compliments.…

Is Moving Stressful? 6 Tips for a Calmer Move

Lifestyle, Relationships

How many times have you moved from one place to another? Moving creates a challenge to sort and organize our stuff, then fit it into various boxes and containers. On moving day all our belongings get packed into a moving truck, van or car and driven to our new home. After that, we get to unpack all the items and choose where to place them at our new place.

Finding Our Purpose In Life

Lifestyle, Nature, Relationships

Finding Purpose In Life - What am I here to do? As humans we often struggle with our purpose. As we try to figure out what our purpose in life is, we can get more tangled in our thoughts. Knowing what you are meant to do doesn’t come from our mind thinking and analyzing. Our spirit knows the answer but usually we are so disconnected we can’t hear that inner voice of knowing. When we stop constantly being in our heads, there are opportunities to listen and hear our own inner guidance system. Ever had the feeling when you just knew something was right to do? Those are moments when you are letting your spirit lead, not your mind and brain. Our mind is super useful at other times, but…

Is What We Believe in Life Really True?

Healing, Relationships

We are taught many early truths by family, unfortunately their wisdom isn’t always best for our success. A childhood moment that strongly affected me was my father’s words after viewing my excellent report card. “98? Why didn’t you get 100?” These few words had great power, along with negative comments and events that chipped away at my self-confidence. Dad was repeating his experience as youngest in the family. As parents our job is not to break the spirit of our children, nor is it to fill their heads with delusions and expectations. When we begin adult life feeling worthless and lacking confidence, how do we believe in our self and trust others? Starting off on the wrong foot is brutal, I’ve been there. Determined to break from my father’s rule,…

Emotional Trauma may cause Pain and Suffering in our Physical Body

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

In life we all go through good and bad times, but our accumulation of emotional trauma can really mess with our Body, Mind and Spirit. We doubt our first thoughts and hold back from acting, later realizing we could have saved pain, misery and regret. It can be an endless loop of thoughts talking us out of what we know is true, preventing us from taking action. We doubt ourselves so much that we let others lead the way when we are the very person who needs to lead! I lived this again and again, alternating between sticking my neck out to speak the truth and holding back to avoid consequences. It’s an unfortunate state to be in, fighting with yourself while your Spirit knows the truth. So what happens…

Answering Healing Sessions Questions

Healing, Relationships

New clients often ask what methods are used in sessions. Since 2004 I have studied and been certified in many healing methods and modalities. They may assist with tracking information about a situation, but are simply tools to help pinpoint weak areas and influences. No tools are ever used during Life Force energy healings. If a person puts time and effort into preparing a tasty stew, do you credit the knife used to cut the vegetables? The cook has the recipe, brings fresh ingredients and determines the best combination to produce a wonderful stew. The cook creates potential, and takes action as the stew receives energy for best outcome. As this flow of energy continues, the mixture transforms into a delicious meal! Divine guidance and Life Force energy flow within…

Are We Really Caring or Do We Pretend to Care?

Healing, Lifestyle, Nature, Relationships

On a trip home from Ottawa, an experience reminded me of the importance of caring. My husband and I had stopped at a comfort station along highway 401 near Toronto. It was a busy Sunday evening with lots of traffic, so lots of people in the restaurants and bathrooms. Upon entering the washroom area, a loud sound of rushing water came roaring all the way down the long row of bathroom stalls. I couldn’t tell where the water noise was coming from but it sounded like a toilet stuck in flush mode. Maintaining our clean water supply is important, so I naturally started looking for the cause. As I walked by each stall it became clear the culprit was the end toilet. I looked in and saw gallons of water…

3 Healing ways for Seeing the Truth and Letting Go

Healing, Lifestyle, Nature, Relationships

As we move through life it's incredible how often we are tested and struggle with trying to assist or simply letting go. The truth is we can create more problems by jumping in and trying to help out, take it from me. Especially with the folks we care about, our children, our partner, our parents, friends and clients. I was always willing to jump in and help but I have finally learned a huge lesson. You can never fix what people aren't willing to change No matter how much we desire to help another person, the choice to take action or not will always be with them. Here are three ways I determine how much a person with problems, issues or complaints really wants to improve. 1. Are they taking responsibility for their part in problems? Or…

Simply Speak Truth, It’s Better For All

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

I recently learned the meaning of a S*** Sandwich! OK call me naive (my kids often do) but I hadn’t heard the term before. A dear friend and client explained it to me the other day and I laughed so hard!! Many awkward situations I’ve experienced suddenly made sense! Times when people were saying nice things to me and yet it felt fake and untrue. They were not being genuine, unable to express their feelings and speak truth. Hearing that people actually plan how they will say the unpopular truth by wrapping it in something nice before and after - OMG seriously?! Say it Directly and Speak Truth, it's Better for All Adding a fake wrapper before and after doesn’t feel good for anyone, it actually feels like crap! Many…

Do We Still Want Gold Star Approval?

Lifestyle, Relationships

At some point on our life journey we've all had a need for approval in one form or another.It begins as a child when we look for our parents’ approval. Remember how good it felt to get a smile from Mom or Dad when you performed well? Or how horrible you felt when they were disappointed or disapproved? We all enjoy feeling good about ourselves, but some people develop a real thirst for approval. They want and need more appreciation for everything they do.Sadly the need for glory can mess a person up when it suddenly disappears. In my early school years I loved receiving gold stars for a job well done, we all did! The problem can exist in how we handle ourselves as teens and adults. Do we continue…

Are You Ready to Change Your Life?

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

Again and again I hear how much clients want to change. They want to stop feeling stuck and clear the anxiety, sadness and stress in their lives. Often we're ready to say "heck yes!" but when the time comes we pull back. Important moments when we make a choice - to go forward or slip back into familiar patterns we're used to. I see all of the potential of a person in front of me. It's sad to watch some clients shrink back as they get close to breaking through to their next level of confidence and awareness. Most of us want joy and happiness in our lives, right? Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our stories of what went wrong we cannot see a choice to change. Or we…

Jim Carrey speech: Living Life in Love or Fear

Lifestyle, Relationships

Listen to Jim Carrey in this video with wisdom and great nuggets about living your life fully. His speech is inspirational and makes a lot of sense! Fear is going to be a player in your life but you get to decide how much He says "all there will ever be is what's happening here, in the decisions we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear.

Loving Animals = Learning to Care for Others

Lifestyle, Relationships

Many of you know I grew up with animals, I loved them and they were my friends. We always had a cat and dog but around 8 years of age I was thrilled the moment I rode a friend's pony. I asked my father if we could get a pony and he told me if we did, I would be responsible for the care and feeding of the pony. Of course I agreed, having no clue of what was involved and how much horse poop I would shovel. We started with one pony, then 2, then 2 more and their foals, then a horse for Dad, and a horse for Mom. My sister brought home "cute" baby chicks that she cared for for a few weeks, and then I got…

Happy & Sad Emotions Missing Mom & Chocolate Cake

Healing, Relationships

It all started with a chocolate cake... I decided to make a cake for my husband's birthday. He loves chocolate so I began looking at recipes. I have old ones but this time felt pushed to find a match with my mother's recipe from the past. You see my mother was an awesome cook and she loved to bake! In summer she'd do extra baking and sell it at my Dad's hardware store to local and summer folk in our small town. The tricky part with Mom's recipes was that most were in her head. So when you asked for a recipe she'd list off the ingredients as "about a cup of this and a couple of spoonfuls of that...". I was often left wondering if she was talking teaspoons…

Christmas Triggers – Stirred Up by past Emotional Wounds

Relationships

They stir up our past emotional wounds, reminding us of times that were better or worse. Along with glad feelings, our sad and mad emotions can suddenly bubble up to the surface, usually not at the best of times. Christmas brings up a variety of feelings for many people. Some experience upsetting emotions which are consistently triggered year after year around the holiday season. As we remember favourite Christmas moments and past events shared, we feel sadness and grief over loved ones who have passed, knowing they won't be with us again this year. We beat ourselves up with memories of past ugly events and negative circumstances. Especially childhood traumas we couldn't control. Anger and hurt feelings appear around relationships that damaged us.Some people even feel shame about being alone at Christmas. We have…
