To blossom or wither? That is the question.
We’re in full-on spring here in Victoria and every time I see a blossoming tree or flower (which is several times a day) I think of one of my favourite quotes by Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took...
The beauty of completion
Spring is so close you can taste it in the air, feel the slightly-more-intense sun on your skin, and see the colour awakening everywhere… ahh time to breathe in the new and let go of the old and cold. Doesn’t it feel great when some things are DONE, complete, finito…...
What are you afraid of?
Did you know… People are more afraid of uncertainty than they are of physical pain? That’s what I heard at a recent networking event when the speaker played an audio clip from Buddhist teacher Pema Chodren. I thought, what? Seriously? People would rather experience...
Do you need a ‘Sherpa’?
Welcome to March. Continuing on from last week’s post about the true meaning of success and what it takes to get there, I’ve had some insights I’d love to share. In a keynote I just gave at a women’s business event regarding the secrets to success, I spoke about the...

Happy almost Valentine’s Day! It’s the time of year we officially celebrate love and all things heart-centred, and designate an actual date (Feb. 14) to acknowledge and appreciate the people we love… especially romantic partners. But why stop there? Love is love, and...
Are you living Groundhog Day?
Photo © Columbia Pictures Happy Groundhog Day. For me this day isn’t about whether the groundhog sees his shadow and we have six more weeks of winter, we have no control over that, but we do have control over how we spend this and every other day. Remember the movie...
How to find your tribe
Do you have a tribe? By tribe, I don’t mean just your family and friends but a community of people, “your people,” who share common values, interests, or passions. Or as my friend likes to say, you’re all swimming in the same pond. “Community is the new currency,” is...
The energy is rising…
Continuing on my musings in my last post, as we move further into the new year, there’s a new energy rising as truth, action, and feminine power continue to build and gather momentum. As people listen to their intuition, get real, get honest, and get vulnerable, they...
Ready for the big reveal?
Wow. What an interesting week it’s been. In my last blog post the subject line read: “It’s time to tell the truth.” The next day Oprah gave a life-changing speech at the Golden Globe Awards and said: “What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most...
