  • Christmas Peace

    As we move towards a new year, the news is full of different people and different groups asking for peace.  For peace to happen, everyone needs to be on board with the idea, and with the “rules” that come with peace.  It is difficult to be peaceful when you cannot feed and cloth your family,…

  • December – Prepping for Winter Solstice

    Any celebration calls for preparation.  For the Winter Solstice, the preparations involve cleansing of the rooms, picking fresh cedar and spruce, making food for the various meals.  And of course, the buying and wrapping of gifts for friends and family.

  • In Time for Christmas – Dissolving Resentment Exercise

    Sometimes, I think that the Universe has a message that it wants to get out, and it just lines up the events so that it happens.  Today, one of my friends sent me a bunch of Carrie Fisher quotes in an email because she knows that I am a Star Wars fan, and of course,…

  • A Christmas Story – The Christmas Tree

    The Christmas Tree My mother always loved Christmas. Maybe it was the inner spark of light more clearly seen in the dark, cold Winnipeg winters. Maybe it was the singing and happy smiles. Maybe it was the gifts and coloured lights, the shortbread and butter tarts, the food and festive celebrations, the birth of the…

  • Sharing Your Stories

    Years ago in Winnipeg, I was lucky enough to get tickets to hear Iyanla Vanzant speak about her experiences, and about writing her first several books.

  • About Perfection

    Somewhere in our lives, the idea of being perfect was drummed into us.  This may have happened at home or at school.  The concept of perfection is a truly human idea.  Nature sees everything as perfect. When we go with the flow, and let things happen, we can see that the truth of what happens…

  • Let Go of Your Unhappiness

    Discussions and debates about how to be happy have been topics of conversation for centuries.  Believing that unhappiness is self inflicted seems to be the sentiment that rules concepts of unhappiness. However, the poster above resonates as being the most correct assessment of happy/unhappy.  Being unhappy is negative.  Negativity is not intelligent.  It is so…

  • The World Needs Peacemakers and Healers

    I cannot tell you how many times friends, family, and acquaintances have asked me if I am successful.  I am not sure what they expect me to say.  I cannot really see myself saying that I am a failure.  And, in my mind, with all the things that I have done, I am successful!  As…
