Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
Here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. So, this weekend for me is all about reflection and gratitude. On this Thanksgiving weekend, I wish blessings of joy, love and abundance to all and to my loved ones, family and friends. I love these words from Henry David Thoreau which express… Continue reading Thanksgiving Blessings
What are you mindful of today? "Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes." — Thich Nhat Hanh As I ponder today on this past weekend, when I encouraged women to celebrate their HerStories for Nollaig na mBan (Irish… Continue reading MoonDay Musings: Mindfulness & Happiness
SOUL WORK The Full Moon marks both the point of fullness in the monthly lunar cycle but also the start of the waning cycle, as the Moon’s energy shifts from Yang energy back to Yin energy, decreasing in brightness as LaLuna moves towards the end of her cycle. This is a time of healing and… Continue reading Full Moon in Aquarius, Part 2: Release with Air

I love that we always have the opportunity to start again in this life - every day, every month, every year. We can start a new journey with each New Moon, moving through cycles very similar to the cycles of our Sun year, the seasons from Spring through to Winter... entraining with the Lunar energy… Continue reading Giving Gratitude in the Waning Moon
This week I have been so grateful for the support our family has received from near and far, on the loss of a dear cousin. As the tributes and condolences were shared - some private, some in social media and some in the press - more and more emerged about his love for his family,… Continue reading Gratitude for the Web of Life
What's in YOUR gratitude journal? Gratitude has been forefront in my mind since an experience I had back in December, when I witnessed what I call the Waterfall of Gratitude. Totally inspiring!
