First of all, I offer a big thank you to Jodi for inviting me to post on her blog today. Jodi wandered into my life by sending me a Facebook message asking about creativity and yoga, passions that we share. Since then, she has inspired me to get my Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching™ certification, to participate in her fabulous Spirited Reiki… Read more →
We moved in our new house almost 5 weeks ago and we are just loving it! We’ve already re-painted the 2 kids bedrooms (bright blue and pink be gone!) and Jim is putting new flooring and paint in the basement so that I have a nice, bright studio/office and the kids have a rec room beside me. Our living room… Read more →
It’s May Day! It’s also a brand new month and there is so much goodness happening in May… Here’s what’s happening in my world: 1. My Spirited Reiki Level I students are about to embark on their 30 Days of Self-Healing and if this journey is anything like the magic that is already happening in the FB group, we are all going… Read more →
I would like to introduce you to my Muse ‘Jolt’. I created her for my final assignment for the Renegade Muse Group Leader training. I’ve been calling on her alot lately as our move has been so much work and I am definitely not taking the best care of myself. Isn’t she great? Jolt: Muse of Recharging, Stretching And Blending… Read more →
It’s a Surreptitious Adventure of Sacred Solitude and you’re going to want to have one! I am studying the Muse Lull this week. She is the Muse of Pause, Diversion and Gratitude. She is the one you call on when you are having a creative dry spell or feel blocked. You can also call on her when you feel you are… Read more →
I have said it already, but I have to say it again…the women that I have connected with over the last year of training is nothing short of amazing. I just had to share this e-course that a fellow Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach, Lisa Dieken, has put together for all of us Wild Women! I am currently working my way through… Read more →
I hope you enjoy my newest guided imagery! Click the picture to download your own printable pdf of ‘The Woman in the Forest’ that I wrote. “When you’re ready, begin to envision a forest. Be careful as the ground beneath you shakes with delight and giant trees grow right before your eyes. They continue to rise up all… Read more →
I am about to tell you all something that may surprise you, spook you or get you excited. I have been, for years, enamoured with all things related to my inner Goddess, intuition, energy, angels, guides, tarot, crystals, the moon and the elements. When I first began to explore all of these things (plus a few more) many years ago… Read more →
If you’re wondering where I’ve been, and my ego hopes you have been, I’ve been nursing a dental infection that has had me in and out of 2 hospitals, countless hours spent in emerg and now, on an IV drip at home for 2 more weeks. I am feeling much better now and thought it was time to check in…. Read more →
I have been a tad absent lately. I’ve been studying my tail off in anticipation of my final oral exam for my Creativity Coaching certification. It was yesterday. It was 2 hours. It was gentle and it made me sweat at times. I PASSED! I’m officially one of Jill Badonsky’s Certified Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaches! I am busy right now basking… Read more →
In Praise of Crazy Schemes by Kim Switzer Moderation. A regular schedule. Balance. These are nice things. I have nothing against them, really I don’t, but I’m going to recommend something a little crazy to you—throw them out the window! Okay, not forever. But for a while. For just a short period of time, just to see what happens. To… Read more →
As part of my aRt share-a-PalooZa I promised to introduce you to a few of the women that I connected with this year and tell you a bit about them and how they inspired me. I am starting with the most wonderful Jill Badonsky of Kaizen/Muse fame. She is the lady who, when a burnt out daycare provider (me), sent her… Read more →
I am down to the last official week of classes! I can’t believe it’s been 4 months already. I have now confirmed my first outside client-the lucky recipient is a wonderful lady that I met in one of the many forums that I hang out in. We clicked right away-months ago-and she was the first person I wanted to coach… Read more →
Just imagine: that all the dishes were done… that the whole house was vaccuumed… that you’d just sent out 4 new orders… that the kids were finally napping… that you’d just landed a brand new client… that you finally made that long overdue appointment… that you’d just found the most perfect Christmas gift… that you’d just sent your hubby a… Read more →
Well, I am giving this one of a kind pendant away, but, I do have a favour to ask in return. I made this ‘Create’ pendant especially for this post-it is not/was never listed in my shop . It is a 1″ glass piece with an inspiring ‘create’ message. I’ve added complimentary white, pink and black wire-wrapped beads. They all hang… Read more →
‘It’s your own life, so why not set your own rules? You can do good things for yourself while helping other people at the same time.’ Chris Guillebeau – The Art of Non-Conformity A few hours ago I tweeted, ‘I wish I’d known 10+ years ago that I was a Renaissance Soul. Would’ve eased a ton of guilt.’ I could’ve… Read more →
“I can’t wait to see what I say and do today” The Awe-Manac I’ve woke up with this thought in my mind many times. What about you? Do you ever wonder why we say and do certain things? Habit, routine, it needs to be done, our inner voice, real and imagined expectations, our emotions and so on…wouldn’t it be fun… Read more →
