One thing that many people sadly overlook and just continue on about their day and life. The issue with this, is things get pushed down, and can get deep which then requires alot more in depth healing and more time.

Looking back, one of the BEST investments in my own healing journey was opting in to work with Avalon one on one for 3 mths for a very indepth intensive to clear and shift energy, which then expanded into joining her Chakra Mastery Academy, where you literally go chakra by chakra, level by level to expose and then heal.

I have spent the last 7 years maybe a little bit more, intensively working at my healing journey. It’s been just that at times, intense, but worth it all to feel and live how I do now.

This month, is an ending of a 7 year cycle. I find this interesting because I will experience something or a memory pops up and it may grab on hard for a bit, however the more time I invest in myself, turns out to be the best investment and biggest shift in my life.

It feels good to feel good, in any way that could be thought of. The people you spend time with, the foods you eat, any events or sports you enjoy, do you truly love you?

The past couple weeks I’ve been really triggered. I’ve listened for the time I’ve continued to be reminded that I need to take.

Let’s be real, the past 2 1/2 years has been a journey. The one thing I am grateful for is the healing that has occurred and continues to.

Life happens, no one’s is perfect. It’s how we ride the wave. Learn to shift energy, by shifting lifestyle and focus. Learn. Point blank. Be open to learning. Be open to trying something new. Be open to pushing out of the box, you know, what we all refer to as “the norm”!

Be confident to always ask why.

On this healing journey as things come up, grab a journal and pen. Allow the pen to flow across the paper, don’t think, just write. What is coming up, to the surface is most likely something that was previously pushed down and ignored.

After hearing of a birth I was instantly taken back to my son’s birth. It was then a mix of happy, sad, scared, excited feelings, all in a jumbled mess. I was re-living parts of me that I did not allow to speak and be free previously.

Do yourself a huge favour and invest time and energy into YOU!

I always feel I go internal this time of year. I feel so much more productive and the time spent at and in our home generally increases. I can see how when BIG emotions and feelings hit, the more I honor and just let them flow, the easier I pass through so much. I literally did nothing all weekend, didn’t even get my camera out, would get my book out but my brain couldn’t focus. This weekend I felt myself begin to let go of that… I “should” be doing something, we need to get this or that project done or I should get caught up on work after being away. I literally did the bare minimum. My entire family, extended included honored that for me and I am so grateful. 

Tonight I came home from work, got the dishes soaking and then on a whim went and washed all our mainfloor exterior doors inside and out. They now look fabulous and I feel a massive sense of accomplishment, that… literally… less than 30 min. . . !

THEN I realized… I had NEVER EVER washed our bedroom exterior door. We moved into our room in the late Spring of 2020. That fall, my husband fell off a roof. I have had little pockets of motivated “work” but truthfully I’ve felt paralyzed, which I hate to use that word but it describes it well. I would think of ‘all I need to do’ and then… not do it. I was living in a state of complete overwhelm.

It’s slowly been coming into my consciousness, as many years ago we went through a very challenging time and I totally let go of any and all routines, like with paying bills. I used to be so organized. I tried again in 2015/2016 to get myself sorted out and it hasn’t been until literally like 2 weeks ago I spent some purposeful office time. It felt good. Much like cleaning the doors tonight. I’ve felt myself pulling “out”, now I can truly see it. 🙏

I am truly here for all the signs, the way living in alignment is truly the only way to live.

I was reading through an email, literally just after I saved this blog post, at the hands. I read this…

September affirmations for your type…

For Projectors: It’s time. It’s time to share my magic with the world and let the world see my gifts, even when it’s uncomfortable and scary. It’s time to raise my standards and invest my energy only in the people and places that see my value. It’s time to release any beliefs I have around how my career “should” look and to prioritize working in a way that feels good to me, e.g. choosing space, ease and support over burnout. It’s time to release any guilt I feel around doing nothing and to choose to take rest whenever and however I need it. It’s time to feel levels of success and alignment in my career, relationships and life that are better and far more magical than I could have ever imagined. This is my time.

If you are on her mailing list, you would have also received these beautiful words for Projectors and other human design types. Learning my Human Design type has brought an incredible understanding to my life, as well as a new appreciation for ME! Did you know one common thing about Projectors?! We love to lay down whenever we can! Not just lay down to sleep, lay down on our back or stomach to be productive with work. It’s comfy!

There is often a misconception with energy and healing, as a Healer.

1. That if you are a healer, you are forever healed. And;

2. That it’s my responsibility as a Healer, to Heal others.

The 2nd misconception is one I have battled with for a very long time. Probably since I was little, being the oldest sibling. As a Healer it is not my responsibility to heal, let’s use for example my husband. This example is good because we live together, spend a lot of time together, but both of us have very different healing journeys, which do cross, weave, and intertwine, however no one’s healing journey is identical to anyone else’s.

If someone doesn’t want to be healed, they won’t be. Our mind and soul is powerful. If a part of someone’s journey is not ready to be healed, it may take time. If we are not learning as we live, this can also derail our healing process, perhaps not directly but can in an indirect way.

It would be irresponsible for me to lead someone to believe that by me doing oil and/or energy work on someone, that I, alone, would heal them.

I bring healing to myself, I bring healing to others to aid them and their body in healing. I love infusing a room with some really good feeling energy and vibrations. THIS FEELING is what we each need to learn within ourselves to be able to use the energy and frequency how our body and soul craves us to. Allowing and trusting within ourself, within our body and knowing by doing this, our health will improve!

I bring Empowerment healing to the world. The kind where you feel it and know it in your heart, your beautiful intuition and trust that like no other.

Where modern and intuitive holistic medicine work hand in hand. With a beautiful understanding that how we FEEL must always rise above.

I am a Healer in a world that is currently under a beautiful, yet also frustrating at times, shift of what “health” care is within our country, and in actuality, all over the world!

I also wouldn’t expect any healers I work with the responsibility for my soul healing either. I greatly appreciate all of the energy workers I am on this healing journey with!

The 1st misconception, straight up… we are ALWAYS GROWING! Why wouldn’t you want to keep evolving as the best you, you can be!

It’s almost dangerous to claim to be 100% healed, even with daily life, we feel things, our lives will be affected in some way, this is why we are always healing, once we are on, the healing journey.

This healing work can feel mundane at times, or make me feel angry as hell! However as I feel, I heal. It’s truly incredible. Deep, mixed emotions healing. Healing, truly sets us free. Sets each of us individually free to be the best person we can be. Letting go and releasing from any past hurts, traumas of varying levels. Building incredible strength, confidence and honor within one’s self. Living the truest, healthiest and happiest lives.

However, I am also human. When faced with things that directly affect me, at times this can knock the healer down, shift the stance. I am grateful when the Chakra Mastery healing collective I am working with have our group calls. As a form of recalibrating energy. Literally putting what was in my peripheral vision, directly in front of me to see.

Even with all of my own training, although I am able to shift myself much quicker than in the past, healing or dealing with anything takes time, whether it’s an hour, a day, a week, a month etc. The more conscious and present we become within our own life, the easier this shift can and will occur. The less often we feel like shit and begin to live life, our way. During a down moment, recognize it, honor what you mentally and physically need, ask yourself questions over and over and see what comes up to be released.

Taking a break off “social” media, at times feel’s like something we have to give ourselves permission for, yet I think back my son’s lifetime and what we know now, didn’t even exist then. Surreal at times eh.

Truthfully, I now know with my energy, when something significant is happening, I need to honor myself, my energy and whatever the situation is, by going within and limiting as many distractions as possible.

There will be times we are faced with things that may not feel easy, may feel like you want to scream, honor that, honor HOW you are feeling and use courage to put that in the forefront of importance.

Did I “need” to post anything on social media, nope, but it certainly did give myself permission to step away, as I could feel myself being pulled into the distraction that is the program even more.

Although I am “only one person” I am doing whatever I can to shine a light and bring change to our crumbling health care system. Sadly with two significant and completely separate issues.

When going within I am reminded…

• EVERYONE deserves to be respected when it comes to their health.
• Just because a “doctor” or “health professional” tells you something, does NOT mean its the only truth – sometimes that means you stand tall stronger.
• Use your voice – if you have been wronged in health care, do NOT just sit back and make excuses – stand up and do something about it. Demand answers, demand change and help bring in that change yourself!
• Feeling/being angry will only affect me… and will not bring in the changes that our country desperately needs to see
• Holistic health 100% works… we have ONLY needed “medical assistance” with broken bones and surgery! However…

Until later… but in the mean time I plan to love up my website/blog and Flickr portfolio too! <3

Approximately 7 years ago, I was walking with my parents and my two kids along the beach at our family cottage. During our walk, we met a new family on the beach the next bay over. Beautiful family, their children were just a couple years younger than our children.

As we chatted, he was happily telling us about their plans for their new cottage property. This family had purchased a property with a much older cottage that was in dire need of updating or rebuilding. We questioned how he was able to do this and was given permission – given the creek that went through the property and knowing our experience with the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority and all of their rules. We were told they got a lawyer and with money, you can essentially do anything…

Today is my birthday, I have found as I get older, wiser, I feel even more aligned within MY truth and knowing. The reminder for me today… the importance of each of us living our own truth, regardless of what anyone else is doing.

Why is this key?

Its far too “easy” to fall into the comparison game.

Back in 2020 we were invited to stop in for their roast they were having one long weekend. We were celebrating ourselves that same day, however walked down later. To say the garage was beautiful would be an understatement, the garage, yes garage, was breathtaking! The building, the quality of the things inside, just beautiful. The people, again as I said, very nice, but at times flashy…

I’ve mastered my energy ball recipe!!! They are SO good. After many batches of trial and error too ;)

Here it is! The BEST Energy Ball Recipe

Preparing the stew for dinner… Now that I cannot have tomatoes… well let’s just say it’s interesting planning and making meals sometimes. My aunt however found me a great red pepper and eggplant sauce. 2 heaping tablespoons of this in with broth and beef bone broth powder and it is delicious!!! We all love it.

It was SO good! An incredible blend of flavours! Rosemary, Thyme and Basil oils. Oils are not only easy to cook with, they pack a punch! 1 drop goes a long way!!!

After prepping the stew for dinner, I enjoyed a home made guacamole made with ALL fresh and healthy for me foods! That’s our home made Goat Cheese in the big glass container.

Capturing my life as art… enjoying time with a few friends in our garden earlier. Just so peaceful and tranquil… even with alot of bees flying around!

I’ve always been intrigued with the bee, especially how beautifully fluffy it appears to be, also the fact that it’s very gentle, minds it’s own business and does what it needs to do, unless provoked. Humans could learn alot from the bees.

The power of vulnerability and change. Also takes… surrender!

I heard a great quote by Brene Brown while listening to the video (below), “Art can save us…” “The magic of all art is the ability to both capture our pain and deliver it from us at the same time.”

“Every creative knows what its like to stand alone…” wooooow yes!
