Prologue As this is my last post of 2015, a lot has been coming up for me in terms of what to write about. For those of you who know me, or who are regular readers, you know that I’ve been feeling my way through a whole bunch of things lately. It feels as if the past two months have been a real challenge, in that regard, even though everything …
AWE-some Days
The timing of this week’s post happens to fall during the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Jewish day of atonement) which are referred to as The Days of Awe. I did not actually know that this period was called that until one of my friends shared it at our Rosh Hashanah dinner on Monday night. I wanted to know more, so I …
The Only Voice Worth Listening To
I’m seriously considering “copping out” and just posting a few links to podcasts and videos that I’ve been listening to and watching this past two weeks. I’m not sure how to describe how I’m feeling, exactly, but it kind of feels like a dense energy is around me. It’s heavy and sluggish and still. It makes me want to stay in bed and just watch TV. If I’m less coherent …
Spread Your Arms and ALWAYS Trust Your Cape!
This week, there are a bunch of things on my mind. At the moment, because I have just sat down to write, the thing I thought about first is the idea of starting to write a different kind of article, in a different kind of format. I have a friend who is helping me with my marketing and social media strategy and he suggested experimenting with a new format, in …
What Would You Do If You Were Fearless?
There are so many things I could write about tonight… There’s the New Moon in Sagittarius tomorrow morning; the fact that I sold my house this week (yippee!); the interesting experience I had at the gym this morning; my A-ha moment regarding the wound connected to my biological father, which I never really talk about; my insight about how so many issues in our lives are based on the fact …
Breaking Free… After Seventeen Years
This weekend, two of my closest and dearest friends, Jen & Simon, are releasing their new CD “Fate Line” with their amazing band, Jen Schaffer & The Shiners. This event is something that I wanted to write about this week because, not only do I want to promote their band, their new CD and their CD release party (tonight, Saturday November 15th, 8:00pm at The Jam Factory, 2 Matilda St, …
The Definition of a Miracle
Sitting in the Village in Manhattan on a tiny patio at the Malt House Pub. Outside, the sirens blare. I’m drinking a pint of locally brewed Blueprint Toasted Lager backed with a shot of Jamieson Black Barrel (I think)… or is it the other way around? Which backs which? I used to hate this city when I was in my early 20’s… Just like I hated Vancouver. But since then, …
Welcome To My First Podcast!!!
Well, I am as surprised as you are that this week’s post is actually an audio post. As it turns out, after I chanted and meditated in preparation for writing my blog, I was guided to record an audio post instead. It was a lot of fun to experiment with and I am still learning, of course, but I hope you will listen to this first podcast and share your …
BeComing StudioBe
Well, I’ve made the decision to officially move my practice over from Leaside Therapy Centre to StudioBe. I had thought that I would make the move slowly, over time, and go back and forth for a while but I realize that I have to get off the fence and just do it. The truth is that I’m sad to leave LTC and all the great people I work with there …
