One of my favourite images from the day, was the last one… the power within this is surreal!
Reminding me to BE THE CHANGE – Ive said for a very long time, no one else will save us, its up to each our individual selves. Much of the orchestrated world around us is the world stage, its not for our best interest, its for theirs.
The more we can BE living in our truth, the strongest we will be! Regardless who “won”, it was called early and those who have been led down the path, know the truth to their core.
Not everyone fell into line during the last L term where if you didn’t follow their rules you were literally banished from society.
My family was.
My family, after my years of health issues, chose to put HEALTH FIRST and in doing so, were banished. Kids had to stop playing sports, we couldn’t even enter an arena, movie theatre, restaurant, get on a plane or train if we wanted. Banished without “papers”.
Welcome to Canada
Where foreign people to our country have more rights, freedoms and tax payers dollars than the people who were born and raised here.
Its time to double down on what we KNOW WORKS.
Time to fall back in line with our soul.
For standing up for what we know is right. For the silent majority. Who will never be rocked like we were in 2020-2024 because now, now we know our truth to our core. We know what we can withstand and what we will never crumble for.
Thank you Canada for reminding us all of this.
Watch the strength rise… in ways they will not be ready for!
This afternoon I attended the Tree Trust Nature Walk and Local Market – mother nature did not disappoint! The sun was shining and it was absolutely beautiful outside.
Check out my shots from the afternoon. We learned about the various trees on Erin and her family’s property as well as making tinctures with them, the beautiful power of plants (I have been a lover for over 10 yrs now!) and truly being reminded that this is our background, this is all of our history and used to be the norm.
Check out the album of photos below! The heron nests were incredible to see as the big birds flew overhead, their shadows casting down on us as we immersed ourselves within the forest – the ultimate forest bath experience!
Ive selected a few of my favs to showcase here all others are in the album below – click there to view!

I am so excited for this weather, to get out and capture natures new and renewed life! The growth after being dormant over the winter. The beautiful rich colours of early spring in nature.
When being in tune with nature, in tune with your own intuition you can better distinguish between soul speak and the ego putting up a wall. As I was was getting my camera ready in the morning, I said to myself, I should take my shoes and my boots – not knowing how the walk would be if it would be muddy or not. Knowing that my bogs could possibly cause me foot issues depending on how long the walk was. As I was leaving I remembered this, it then suddenly was decided you’re fine with the boots, just go. Listen to that voice, that one that gave me the heads up earlier, that one. She knew what was up LOL! It was worth it, I am in love with the images and it was such a profound experience, just minutes from home!
Earlier this week I was directed to a book, SIGNS – The Secret Language of the Universe by Laura Lynne Jackson. She knew this would be something for me… I opened a website to buy the book, I was about to hit purchase, then something held me back, something said… wait. As I was logged in to Spotify the next day, I saw that there was an audio book section and this book, included!
Truthfully I haven’t had great luck with reading and finishing books, listening however – helps shorten any task at hand !
I am a numbers person and have been for a long time. After our dog passed in May 2024 at one point, I looked up at the wall, not knowing there was a clock there or what time it was, 1:11. After making my brothers funeral arrangements with family, we got back to my parents place and as I was walking in the kitchen I looked at the time on the stove, 4:44.
As I was driving today, I saw 111 on a license plate coming towards me. A minute or so later another passed with 999.
The other night, I went to a networking event with a friend, we hadn’t seen each other in a bit so it was incredible to catch up. I was surprised to see another friend who I hadn’t seen in a very long time also at the event, ironically we had talked about a month ago, a chance happening one evening that brought us together. As soon as she saw my necklace, her eyes lit up, 444 is my number she told me.
The friend I went to the event with introduced me to a woman, quite successful and so refreshingly down to earth! As soon as she saw my necklace she also commented on it.
Its been a while since Ive been “out” at business connection evenings like that and I am so grateful I went, there was clearly a reason for me to be there and spirit was happy to affirm that for me!
I highly recommend this book – SIGNS, I also suggest listening when you have time for you, not at work, not with other people around, when you can BE with yourself. If you listen in the car and are still in the grief process, listen on the way home – it will pull on every single heart string and also remind, our loved ones may not be physically here, when we open to the signs, they are never far away XO
Never forget who divided Canadians Never forget who forced families apart Never forget who made us all question our sanity Never forget who introduced “papers” for access to public places Never forget who then introduced a digital tracking system to be able access to travel, access restaurants, sports complex or even movie theaters Never forget who raised the cost of living of everything, yet whose net worth also increased for themselves Never forget who forced children out of sports Never forget who blocked parents from entering schools Never forget who divided friendships Never forget those who put their health first, were put last Never forget who sends millions of $ to other countries while millions in Canada are suffering with mental and physical health Never forget who forced loved ones to die alone Never forget who used the medical system to divide and not allow families to be together Never forget who allowed the medical system to blatantly disrespect concerned family members Never forget who banned family members from loved ones in hospitals Never forget who caused a massive backlog in the medical system causing harm to millions health Never forget who cancelled Christmas Never forget who allowed children in elementary school to be manipulated to question their own sex and sexuality Never forget who thinks a child can decide to cut off their penis or vagina to become another sex Never forget who allows men to compete against biological women Never forget who allowed biological men in girls change rooms Never forget who banned healthy Canadians from traveling on planes and trains Never forget who banned healthy Canadians from leaving the country Never forget who encouraged people to rat on each other and turn their back on those who didn’t “follow the rules” Never forget who put your mental and physical health at risk Never forget who developed Carbon tax to “fight climate change” and solved it a mere 4 weeks before the 2025 election so it could suddenly be dropped Never forget who forced an experimental jab on the entire country if you wanted to keep your government job Never forget many places who are still mandating this jab in the medical field Never forget who overloaded the already failing medical system Never forget who thinks they have more autonomy over your body and how you feel Never forget who allowed big box stores to operate while shutting down as many small businesses they could Never forget who banned parents from children’s sports Never forget who does NOT know your body better than you Never forget the people who walked out of your life because the TV and Radio told them to. Never forget who took away the tax fitness credit for children Never forget who supports a tax system that taxes you on everything you earn, then everything you purchase to live and then everything you own when you die – if you have a safety deposit box I highly suggest you close it or the government profits on your precious family heirlooms today’s value tax Never forget who allows criminals to walk Never forget who caused a massive wave of dire mental health across the country with very little support for those in need Never forget who filled hotels and paid for refugees to come here for votes, yet turned their back on real Canadians paying to live here Never forget who took away your freedom Never forget who lied
Never forget who holds your worth Never forget the power of your own intuition Never forget that if people really loved you, they would never, ever turn their back – Ever!
Never forget that healing will take time, from all of this and if people chose and choose to continue blocking or staying at a distance in your life, has no reflection on you or your own personal choices. As someone who deeply respects when someone puts their own health before what anyone else tells them, this IS power in your own life. No one knows your body better than you, the more quiet you get, the more you listen, the more you learn. Relationships that have changed probably will never be the same. The effort to reach out, to try to include to make the effort, save your energy for those who truly want to BE in your life for you.
Never forget what the Liberals have done in the past 5 years especially!
Its been a process with many ups and downs. My reclaiming happened within 2021, 2022 it was MY space again. A room that I could retreat to and allow my creativity to flow and grow.
Our Healing Room, for our family.
Until it became the literal medical of that. The room, the massage table, the space, was used to organize and store medical supplies and wound care was happening either daily or every other day.
My space, although I could hold off on succombing to this for a while, it then became too much. The weight of what was expected from me. The worry, the resentment, the anger, the multitude of emotions and feelings being felt. The questions. Its very easy to sink into victim mentality, after 2 yrs + 3 surgeries of my husband, it felt like a personal, painful joke.
Of course as a wife and mom I would do anything for them.
Something has to give though and far too often, its the caregivers mental health.
My room, my space, became the ‘dumping ground’ again in a sense that it was just so emotionally overwhelming for me to be in there, it was merely used for storage and wound care. This made sense in the moment, ease for what we were living in and with at the time.
I knew this was something that is important to my own mental health. During those first few years of the turmoil, having this space – entirely to me for a full year – was life giving. As I was questioning myself the other day, HOW did you do …
I didn’t have the opportunity to THINK about what I needed to do or take care of. It was a matter of fact. However when I skim the surface for taking care of me, I truly get little benefit of this. I may be able to keep myself skimming the surface, staying afloat, however thats it.
This weekend, I took back that space, with still a bit of filing to do to finish organizing, the space feels fresh again, like me again. Honoring who I know I am and that my quirkiness and uniqueness is admired by some, possibly not by others and thats ok. The ying and yang of life, much like my zen den healing room! I am grateful for this space, I am grateful I had the opportunity to use it how I needed to. I am also grateful for the glaring spotlight of importance that even when it was a caregiving room, its deeply crucial for me to have this space for me, and thats ok!
Don’t leave yourself in the dark… lean in and honor your heart + soul!
Spring 2025, when the stakes come out of the snowmobile trails!
There’s nothing like a relaxing, yet productive day at home. Some meal planning for the week, slow start to the morning, delicious food, warm tea. I had the thought earlier we should go for a drive, I wanted to go out but also wanted to relax. Went out with the dog and felt the creative spark. All it took was a message to my husband, to take me on a photo tour! An hour driving back roads with my camera and then checking the trail where they removed pegs yesterday, picking up a bundle that fell out after some bumps lol! The forest bathing I needed! Being out in nature, or near water is so life giving for me. Capturing it with my camera intensifies that memory and feeling. Sundays at home, are always a day well spent, especially when I can get out with my camera. I had my Canon RP and the 24-240mm lens ready in my small bag so I grabbed that and we headed out!
The other day I was contemplating something, as a spiritual person I am more aware of universal signs and so I asked for a sign. I specifically asked my brother for a sign. I remember thinking to myself to be aware of what I may see, hear, smell, touch and suddenly I could smell his cologne. The irony is that our son wears the same. He was not home at the time. Trust me when I say it was quite the mind fuck smelling that smell, it stopped me in my tracks quite a few times.
I acknowledged the sign of the cologne smell, even to the fact that I stopped myself and said wait what day is it, he’s not here (our son)… which then pushed me to ask for a confirmation sign, ok I see this sign show me a signier sign. In all seriousness when you are spiritual and ask for a sign like this on a level like this, once I can get myself past this full trust spot, its purely magical.
The next sign showed up quick again, in the kitchen alone making food and I could feel something/someone touching near my left ear and on the back of my neck.
Believe it. Believe all the signs.
I have days that feel this magical, that I can talk to him and although I do not see him, its like we have this new spiritual relationship where when I DO stop and listen and watch for the signs he IS here with me.
Its really mind bending loosing someone so young, as much as it is real, it doesn’t feel real. Yet at the same time it can feel absolutely painful.
I feel much more comfortable pulled in, this weekend having the time and space to BE home has been heart filling. A break between the hockey/snowmobiling season – also known as winter, currently in the season of mud while we await the beauty of spring, I am reminded how rewarding being present can be.
The songs take over my heart, Ive been (finally) slathering on oils on me morning, afternoon and night, Im still doing the diffuser blends every single morning both at home and work, and part of my evening routine at home. Meal planning, ensuring that I am getting protein every morning – I was lacking on this before, I can see when shouldering the responsibility of care-giving for others, its natural to neglect our own needs, which doesn’t serve anyone else. Its now been over a month I have been consistently making my work week breakfasts on Sunday and have things prepped to grab and go, very protein rich! Making home made sour dough bread and experimenting with protein muffins.
No one can tell you how to heal, not everyone will even care if or how you heal, healing requires to go deep within, the deeper the more thorough the healing. Reaching for holistic options that support my heart, brain and energy body. Understanding that slipping back into food support is not the best option. Being a healing emotional eater, and aware of this.
Embracing all that makes me, taking photos of everything, regardless of what we are doing, its a memory worth capturing, with full gratitude. As heart wrenching as it felt to upload thousands of photos to our digital frame, the gratitude that pours out of my heart seeing all of those images is profound.
If you have been watching tv or listening to the radio their propaganda is back in full force. Reminds me of 2021… the same sense of “do what we tell you” feeling.
The big bad orange guy of the US is being mean to us, come on Canada stand up with us and show our united front.
Why wasn’t supporting Canada your first thought before the government told you how to think, again?
Many seems to forget the various taxes Trudeau added, including the Carbon tax at 19.5% – which now apparently Carney is getting rid of… I truthfully don’t trust anyone in government, especially anyone connected to Trudeau. The taxes on fuel is 33%. There is tax on tax. Did you see the US telling people not to come to Canada? Well many know not to because its so messed up! We are taxed on tax here. Where is the upset?
Interestingly enough right before this, the division was strong and clear, no one wanted Trudeau and his policies that have ruined the country after 9 years – including those in 2021-2023. You know, the times when Trudeau, the Prime Minister of the country of Canada told the “unvaccinated” you will not ride on a plane or train and infect those who were responsible and got the vaccine. To only now be propelled into a time in our lives when the medical system is literally at the worst its ever been. Call for an appointment with your “family doctor” – why by the way profits merely from having you listed as a patient… and they tell you to go to emerg.
The vile division he created by making these statements. That the unjabbed were causing “all the problems” and the ones filling hospitals. Mmmm ok…
Its devastatingly sad that I know many who have been affected by this jab, their lives will NEVER be the same. Because they trusted the very people who control everything to do with our economy, they handed their health to them in full trust. Now… many people are living in hell because of this or will never have that level of health again!
Children and adults were BANNED from going into places, SEGREGATED and forced to SHOW PAPERS for entry. If you didn’t follow along with their game you were denied entry. Or until you created your own fake “passport” which many did.
Ok so let me get this right, the family doctors are getting kick backs for merely having patients on their roster, even if they dont see them, and now by directing people through emerg the doctors working there for a premium are getting more as well as the hospital because its “emergency”. Plus the family doctors are still making money off you… even sending you to emerg! Oh the games played in this country.
Far too much fear was spread and thats what they counted on. Keep them in fear and they wont notice their freedoms being pushed out – much like our money they keep sending to other countries. If a government cannot take care of its own people, nothing should be leaving the country to help anyone else, point blank and Im not a cold hearted human for thinking that. There are so many people struggling in Canada currently, its so sad!
First off, to use the excuse of tariff’s to push people to buy Canadian – um why weren’t you before? Do you literally wait until the government tells you what to do before you do it? How do you make general everyday decisions in your life? How many of you have cancelled Amazon, or stopped buying off many of your fav websites that are also US based? Im guessing not many! Convenience right… ok sure!
This is exactly why, to me, it feels like the entire covid scam again, to hear someone who was installed into our current government and not elected in, from what Ive seen is this person even Canadian? Does he have our best interests? Well he comes in, already costing the tax payers money for a trip he took at half a million before even being “elected” into his position. Has now “cancelled” the carbon tax and apparently this weekend will call an election.
How do you spell buying votes?
There is a ton of smoke and mirrors happening right now and the more people blindly trust and listen to the tv and radio the deeper they will sink. This is the moment again, you are being tested by the very country we live in and many are falling for it – rah rah Canada – divide against the US, divide against other people – THE SAME DIVISION THEY CREATED WITH COVID!
Don’t fall for it, you are better than that, rise up.
Government officials are literally puppets from even higher above – scary and reality. When a country cares more about OTHER countries and continually send tax payer dollars there, after taxing them on what they earn and then taxing on EVERYTHING you buy – heavy and deep corruption!
The time is NOW to know YOUR truth – regardless of what anyone else may think.
GO deep on that!
Wake up Canada or you will forever be in the pocket of the government and never truly free!
Don’t get caught in the current, learn to follow your own inner being!
As we enter into the Spring season of 2025 there is much to be, feel blessed for. Its a journey through these seasons and through life. Wandering and wondering, building and creating in various ways. Leaning into the truth of your being and appreciating the fullness of life.
It doesn’t always go the ways we “want” to, life provides us an abundance of growth opportunities, especially if we step into resistance in any way. Resistance is a natural block in life, like a road block gently telling us something isn’t right.
Times like these our intuition picks up on, and when clear and uninfluenced by outside sources, can broaden our horizons in such beautiful way.
Clear your energy, clean up your mind and allow your intuition to speak clearly to you without the noise of anyone else in your life, that may think they have good intentions for you, however are muffled.
As the seasons change, so do we as humans. Embrace this and embrace the wholeness that you are as a being free from the chains of others beliefs that may muffle out your souls true desires and path.
This year, carve your own path and never apologize for being yourself and curious!
The other night after leaving work I pulled up to the one intersection on my way home, the same intersection that multiple times last year, I crossed paths with my little brother here. As I pulled up, I was feeling more emotional – it hits in waves, one day I can be totally fine all day and others not.
We have to accept the little nudges from God when he shows them to us. As I was waiting for the light to turn from red to green so I could go through, the same van that my brother used to drive for the refrigeration company… drove through the lights.
Cue instant great big alligator size tears falling from my eyes.
It was in that moment before the van drove by that I was thinking of him and thinking of calling our one Grama, after seeing the van, with a very shaky voice I didn’t hesitate to call her.
Our loved ones, as much as we miss them in this physical space and time, are always with us and as much as it can be devastating to never see them physically again, I am so incredibly grateful for signs like this.
Kind of like when I walked in our bedroom the one night and in the middle of the bed was a dime. Just a single dime.
Grief and love are such unique feelings – never be afraid to be you and embrace however you need to feel. Look for those glimmers in life and shine bright!
