Some of my best days and evenings are when time is not thought of. When there is no specific time that I need to be somewhere after getting to work or when being at home.
Being in the ultimate flow.
It just happens. With grace and ease.
This was my weekend, after dinner changes that brought in our weekend in a low key evening that just happened to be exactly what we needed. Saturday and Sunday also flowed, we had things to do, we relaxed, we were productive, it flowed, time felt endless and also satisfying, it was awesome.
I realized this evening, that is also how my day flowed today. Since last week, twice I’ve woken up at 444am. Ever since I introduced a Sodalite crystal and copper tree to our bedroom, the quality of my sleep has also gotten deeper. My day today, beautifully flowed much like the weekend, although time is much more of essence at work, when it flows is so satisfying! How everyday should be. BE in the moment!
Until I picked up my phone to begin typing this blog post, I had no idea what time it was, and truthfully I didn’t care, I felt very much in the flow.
What is being in the flow for me, not thinking ahead too far that I begin stressing and getting myself so overwhelmed that I then also begin to go backwards and my stress level is sky high!
It’s resetting my nervous system, from 5 years of almost completely consecutive thing after thing! I can now see how much my body has been needing this reset AND that it’s not going to happen over night.
I’m here for this. For listening to my soul speak her truth and live an authentic life.
Being near water for me is also so life giving, even just a short time… recharges me!
I am a proud member of our local Brain Injury Association of Waterloo Wellington. A part of me will always have my heart within this group as my one brother Adam helped bring this group to our small town. Knowing all to well the pain and suffering many people like him went through after their injury and with their mental health.
Adam loved these crystal bracelets an wore them regularly. If you are free this evening, please join us to learn more about Leanne’s story with crystals and how they could help you on your own journey!
If I may share a small story of my own with crystals, recently I was in to Art Arrows and saw a crystal tree she had, I was drawn to this tree in a way I couldn’t explain, Im pretty sure I even said to Leanne I guess this needs to come home with me today! On the card write up it mentioned being good for the intuition, as well that it may help with sleep. Well I can share with you yes for both. My intuition has been beautifully aware and my sleep, has been much better! Even if I wake during the night, 9 times out of 10 I can now get happily back to sleep much easier than before! Only thing Ive changed is the crystal beside my bed when I sleep!
“Sodalite also assists in the development of one’s intuition. The stone’s high vibrations aid truth and will help you better understand yourself and what needs to be worked on. Being able to be in such a calm and reflective state will assist in pulling out the negativity within.” Crystal Council
I can personally attest to the intuition, I went and saw a medium recently and it was profound!
My brother fought daily for his mental and physical health, praying that one day he would be pain free. Sadly his freedom only came when he passed. I know he is living free now and isn’t suffering any longer. I miss him dearly, and selfishly so wish he could still be physically with us.
If you are interested in this evening, please reach out to the phone number on the poster. If you have any questions please let myself or Nicole know.
The best day is any day that I can get out with my camera, being out in nature, capturing the beauty of wherever I am, so soul depth. A refresh, reset and boost to creativity.
Photography can teach us so much.
When to pull back and look at the big picture, to see all that is happening.
When you pull back and then refocus and see even more!
Life isn’t always what it seems and that can bring the duality of joy and sadness. Are you willing to be open, are you willing to fully trust again.
The turtles and the goose life lesson.
Sometimes it feels easier to just blend in with the scenery, to lay low and not bring attention to yourself, simply live your best life, regardless of what anyone else does. Let the world happen in and around you, staying true to your authenticity and truth.A knowing, peace even among any chaos. To dance in the rain, not cry in the storm.
As we set off on our adventure, I glanced over and thought I saw a couple turtles on the log… unknowingly it was covered in turtles and some were in the water too. My husband turned around so I could get out and capture their essence. Am I ever glad I spoke up! Had I been quiet, and regretted being past that spot, I would have missed this magic.
From a google search…
The turtle is a powerful spirit animal, representing wisdom, longevity, patience, and protection. It symbolizes a strong connection to the earth and the natural world, encouraging a grounded and steady approach to life. Many cultures also associate turtles with healing, spirituality, and good luck.
Here’s a more detailed look at the turtle’s spirit animal symbolism:
Wisdom and Patience: Turtles are known for their slow and steady pace, which can be a reminder to approach life with patience and wisdom.
Longevity and Endurance:
Their long lifespan symbolizes enduring challenges and persevering through difficult times.
Earth Connection:
Turtles are seen as a link to the earth, representing stability and grounding.
Protection and Safety:
The turtle’s shell symbolizes protection and safety, encouraging individuals to find a sense of security within themselves.
Healing and Spirituality:
Some cultures believe turtles possess healing properties and represent spiritual connection.
Luck and Good Fortune:
In some traditions, turtles are associated with good luck and prosperity.
Nature and Harmony:
Turtles are a symbol of nature and harmony, reminding us to live in balance with the environment.
There’s something deeply grounding about the rhythm of the water—the gentle pulse of waves lapping against the shore, the whispering breeze, and the effortless grace of seagulls drifting overhead. I recently spent time along the beach, camera in hand, capturing the serene beauty that unfolds when water meets sky.
Each photo in this series tells a quiet story.
Some images feature seagulls in mid-flight or standing still, their silhouettes etched against soft blue skies. Their presence adds a touch of movement to the stillness, a reminder of life in motion even in the calmest moments.
The water itself was peaceful that day— as the waves rolled in with a softness that made time feel slower. There was no urgency, no rush—just the lake breathing in and out. It was a perfect reminder to pause and appreciate the small, quiet moments.
I hope these images bring a sense of peace to you, just as they did to me while capturing them. Feel free to scroll through and let your mind drift with the tide.
Being an empath and highly sensitive, I felt incredibly drawn to go see a Medium. After my brothers death I was pulled to someone local to connect in.
What I received that evening, was so special. Not only did I receive some of the same messages – massive validation – he came through as pure peace. It was such a cool experience, like having a conversation with him again, through energy rather than him physically being here.
I know I still struggle with this. I could pick up the phone and call or text him anytime… as he told me, Pam don’t be sad, you can reach out Im always here. The tears flowed, they still flow as I write this and even think of him.
Yes, share my message, share my story too many people suffer and think they are alone he made clear to me. I knew in my heart, re-connecting with the brain injury group in town that he helped form, is the way. He knew people need help, more help than many get, that they need to have a sense of community and feeling involved and empowered in their own life to live in peace vs living in pain.
It was incredibly enlightening as she said a few things and my voice instantly said omg I got that same message. Validation… the validation I needed. I had connected energetically in with a family member who had passed a couple years prior to him. It was a very cool experience, but I wasn’t 100% confident I should trust all messages coming in from him… am I too close being his sibling, am I interpreting it correctly? One message she told me, I had received, just in different words, it all made complete sense.
As I was driving home, this was the sky, I had to pull over to capture this beauty.
Before my appointment, I set the intention, I am not going to cloud my mind – meaning I did not turn on the tv, music, or touch my phone. I walked into my room and wondered, should you be taking a crystal that could help absorb his energy that comes through? Then I recalled, no you have your bracelets on – one I created for our family members for Christmas after his passing of all of our birth stones. I then heard necklace… I thought to myself ok, my gold necklace? Does that absorb better than crystals would? I grabbed my journal and headed out to the living room to sit down and begin journaling my purpose for that night, I wrote down some questions I was hoping would come through – biggest – are you at peace. As I sat down, I looked down and suddenly my 444 gold bar necklace was sitting on the top of my chest. I only take this necklace off for some appointments, I had been at an appointment earlier that day – wow did my Osteo do some deep work… However I had been wearing my necklace all afternoon and into the evening at that point. I also regularly fiddle with it, the necklace was secure on my neck and clipped and yet… suddenly it was on my chest just laying there.
Many times the ego can interject, however with doing the work you will be able to recognize the difference between your ego and soul – when the soul speaks this is your truth. The ego likes to cause resistance, thinking it knows best. As I was sitting and journaling I asked… did you undo my necklace, and heard a very quick and confident yes. I have been making it known to the spirit world, I am open to connecting with my loved ones of my highest truth of love and compassion – be careful to not leave yourself open to all spirits to come through!
I highly recommend a Medium experience, its so very cool and filled with love. Yes it sucks he isn’t here with us physically, nothing I can change, however I can ask for the signs, I can meditate and connect in. I can be that mystic that loves all things energy and embraces it with open arms, so happily and filled with gratitude.
Trust your connections, trust your ability, trust that you can expand!
Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep— I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry— I am not there, I did not die.
As I was driving home last night, the sun was so bright in the sky, making its final decent of the evening. Following me home on my drive.
I am proud to be back at the Brain Injury Group in town, something I feel closer to as my one brother helped bring this group to town, knowing the imperative need for people with brain injuries to find community, a place where they can feel accepted no matter what.
I had to pull over to capture this … Its almost as if the sunray is reaching out and touching me – this was the first photo I took. The beam is coming directly to me <3
This morning I saw this message…
Emotionally its been challenging to walk back into the meetings, but at the same time, I knew how close to my brothers heart this group was and in wanting to do something in his honor – THIS is the outlet!
The message above by Brianna Wiest, hits the nail on the head perfectly.
This new life moving forward, does not physically include my one brother, he will always be with us spiritually, however never again physically which is a pain I am still learning to navigate through.
I have been through death before, sadly multiple times, too many Id like to count. Three sudden deaths prior to my brother, which rocked me in ways its hard to describe. Nothing will prepare you for someone to be in your life one day and then suddenly gone. Many times while grieving a lost loved one, you are suddenly faced with grieving living people as well. Those you thought were close, would be there but haven’t. Or even family members who do not think before speaking. I had a distant great aunt tell me, “I completely forgot about you girls, we remembered the boys…” after my brothers funeral, while smiling at me. Forgot my sister and I, who are literally the bookends of our family with the boys in the middle.
Its so true…
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MEANT FOR YOU ARE GOING TO MEET YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOU’RE GOING TO BUILD A NEW COMFORT ZONE AROUND THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MOVE YOU FORWARD. INSTEAD OF BEING LIKED, YOU’RE GOING TO BE LOVED. INSTEAD OF BEING UNDERSTOOD, YOU’RE GOING TO BE SEEN.
ALL YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE IS WHAT WAS BUILT FOR A PERSON YOU NO LONGER ARE <3
The people you are wondering why they haven’t showed up, you on your own path. It may feel heavy of what once was, why couldn’t they show up for me like I did for them. There are some people who simply cannot meet you where you now are. Release yourself of this, focus on your heart healing.
Much like me sitting and wishing my loved ones were still here, wont bring them back. Memories are forever, if anything his lose has re-ignited my passion to capture everything and anything with my camera. Find the alignment in your truth. Base your happiness on your own choices. We cannot control anyone or their actions. Release attachments – those who are meant to be will be! Without resistance or pressure.
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!
Click on the image below to view the Album of the 2025 Tree Trust Nature Walk!
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!
