Meditating With Your Kids
As a parent, finding moments of calm is important. Between school drop-offs, work, grad school, activities and everything in between, it is easy to lose sight of the importance of slowing down. But what if I told you that those quiet moments of calm do not have to be just for you? Meditating with your […]
Volunteering for the Soul
Volunteering has always been an anchor in my life, a grounding force that not only connects me to the community but also provides clarity, growth, and peace. It is a way of stepping outside of my own world to truly see others, and in doing so, I often end up seeing myself more clearly. I […]
The Power of Personal Resets
Life can be overwhelming for we a have a lot on our plates; family, work, personal hobbies, and so forth. Over the year I have learned and am still learning, that taking time to reset is not just healthy, it is necessary. Resets help us realign, recharge, and show up as our best version possible. […]
Flowers and Finding Presence
Flowers have a way of grounding me, no matter how life gets. Between raising my children, balancing work roles, important volunteer projects, doctoral school and getting in those date nights with my husband, days and time pass by quickly. But flowers, whether they are in a vase on the kitchen table or growing in a […]
Coffee and Easy Meditations
There is something magical about the first sip of coffee in the morning. For me, it is not just about the caffeine, rather the ritual of the first morning cup. The warmth of the mug in my hands, the rich aroma filling the air, and that moment of stillness before the day begins. It is […]
Cooking for the Soul
Cooking has become more than just a task for me, it is a grounding ritual, a creative outlet, and a path to overall wellness. As I navigate the world of motherhood, doctoral studies, and personal growth, the kitchen has become a sanctuary where I can reconnect with myself. For years, cooking felt overwhelming amidst the […]
Listening First, Connect More
As a parent, it is easy to fall into the habit of correcting our kids all the time. We want to teach them, guide them, and help them make the “right” choices. But over the years, I have learned something that has completely changed the way I approach parenting: listening to our kids is far […]
To A New Year
As we look forward to the new year, recognise how you want the next twelve months to pan out. A new year is your time to change old habits into healthier ways of being. Embrace in self-care and distance yourself from toxic behaviours and toxic energy. Life is too short and goes by too fast, […]
Moments of Gratitude
The act of gratitude goes beyond the “picture perfect” Thanksgiving table and meal, rather it lies in our actions and behaviours. Gratitude is showcased in how we treat our own self and how we treat others. Are you kind by force or kind by habit? Read that twice and think on it. Do you utter […]
Holiday Kindness
As the holiday season approaches, the air becomes a unique blend of joy, nostalgia, and for some, a touch of stress. This time of year, despite the merriment traditionally experienced, some may experience loneliness, anxiety, or emotions unseen by others. Alas, we are human and even a sprinkle of holiday bliss may create delicate moments. […]
