As good as it gets
I have been back at work for about a month now. My vacation was…..well………perfect. I suppose the sign of a good vacation is coming back and feeling ready to face whatever life presents to me. I had taken the time to re-energize or re-align myself. I felt like I was in touch with me again.… Continue reading As good as it gets
When plans change
When I retunred from Cuba, I was really looking forward to a family trip. Initially, this road trip was supposed to be with my daughter, her boyfriend and my two grandsons. I had reserved a two bedroom cottage, The Beachcomber, at the Old Shipyard Campground, Spencer Island in Nova Scotia. Instead, because my daughter was feeling… Continue reading When plans change
Wherever you go, there you are
I went to Cuba, not to explore the culture, but to take one week of time to myself to sit and relax by the place I love so much – the ocean. The thought of waking, meditating, swimming and just being by the ocean for one week felt like the perfect thing for me to… Continue reading Wherever you go, there you are

I feel thankful to live in this country because there is an abundance of beautiful nature, natural resources, fresh water, and it is generally a peaceful country.

I wanted… Continue reading Balance
Questioning my beliefs
The last few weeks I have not kept the two promises I made to myself this year – to write every week and to train 3 times per week to the best of my ability. Life has been mostly about work, although I have spent the weekends with family. I have nothing to complain about,… Continue reading Questioning my beliefs
The circle of life
It is Mother’s Day weekend. My mother passed away not too long ago, so this weekend is bittersweet. I am remembering my mother, of course, with love. She is in my heart. My first experience with losing a parent. This week, my daughter was informed that her father had passed away unexpectedly and she was… Continue reading The circle of life
PLAYING TO WIN VERSUS PLAYING NOT TO LOSE
The last couple of weeks have been busy, to say the least. Feelings of overwhelm at work , while trying to move on in other areas of my life while remaining as positive as possible and looking to the areas in my life that are easier, has been a bit more difficult than I would… Continue reading PLAYING TO WIN VERSUS PLAYING NOT TO LOSE
Doing what I love
I was thinking about a quote, by Marsha Sinetar, that I had read “Do what you love and the money will follow.” This is because I made it through my week, having done what I am supposed to do, work, work out, take care of myself, spend time with family and write. I feel uninspired… Continue reading Doing what I love
