We are on holidays this week and we have managed to get a new kitchen floor down, drive to Toronto to drop our teen at the airport so she could go back to Timmins for her BF’s Sweet 16, buy the paint for my soon-to-be studio and make some plans for the Fall. It is another beautiful day here so… Read more →
Last Saturday we trekked back to Niagara Falls for a family day trip to Marineland. We had lots of fun despite the almost 40 degree, very sunny day! I got a ton of shots and the kids have some brand new memories. Here are some of my faves from the day: What are you doing this summer for your holidays?… Read more →
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 →
London has so many neat places to visit. I came across The Circle – Women’s Centre for Spirituality, Activism and the Earth in one of my online searches the other nite and knew that I had to visit the Labyrinth that a group of women had built. The information in italics is right from their site. It is a magical… Read more →
On Saturday the 16th I took part in Whitney Ferre’s 24 Hour Creativity Challenge. Well, I did for 12 hours anyway. I really wanted to do the full 24 hours but being my first crack at it – I wanted to make sure that I could take part and still take care of family business around it. I started at… Read more →
I have been devouring Soul Whispers II by Denise Linn. It is a compilation of stories written by graduates of her 28 Day Soul Coaching Program and it is such a great read. As someone who has been on a journey (holistically speaking) for almost 13 years now, I can totally relate to the stories that are being shared. Stories… Read more →
Repeat after me: ‘Deep, profound serenity is expanding my life!’ Do what matters and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness. Clear internal and external clutter. ~excerpted from Soul Whispers II Have a joy-filled weekend! You deserve it.
On June 16th Creatively Fit is challenging us to be creative for 24 hours straight! This can be anything you’d like, in any creative medium. This will be my first time taking part. I’m a little nervous – mostly due to the 24 hour part! With 4 kids, sleep is a necessity, but, I think I can do it. I’ve… Read more →
She Stood Solid (prints available here) I’m Stephanie Guimond, artist, visionary and avid left-brainer. I believe that through the power of stillness, possibility and action we can create the life we want to live. After studying entrepreneurship and the concept of multiple income streams for several years I finally decided to take the leap and leave my government job of… Read more →
My last art assignment for the ‘Meet Your Artist Within’program was to create a ‘Torn Paper Face’ collage. It is another exercise to strengthen your connection to your right brain. Boy, did it do that! I let my imagination take over while I ripped out images that caught my eye. When I was all done gluing it together one… Read more →
How cute are these? These toads have surfaced a few times during the digging for our pool and I finally got out with my camera and captured them!
I am in the 3rd week of my training with Whitney Ferre and the Creatively Fit Coaching Certification. Our training includes personally working our way through her programs in order to be able to teach them having had firsthand experience. There are videos to watch, audios to listen, art projects to complete and more self-reflection that you can imagine. There… Read more →
Drum roll please! I have a new website! Well, I’m calling it a sister site as it is still all me, my offerings and it’s tightly linked to this site. Since the creation of Spirited Reiki I (and the soon-to-be released Spirited Reiki II), my Spirited Women’s Circle (coming June 1st) and my Oracle Card Readings, I felt that my… Read more →
We spent Saturday in Niagara Falls. We woke up that morning and the weather was beautiful so we decided to head out on a little day trip. We’re only about 1 1/2 hours away so I barely had time to finish my coffee and we were there! I took 100+ pictures between my Canon 7D and my iPhone – the… Read more →
This is my gorgeous ‘new to me’ Lavender plant. I bought it last week while at the Farmer’s Market, yes, again, for $10. I felt a bit let down while I paid for it as I’ve tried to grow my own from seeds but my toddlers keep sticking their fingers in the pot and it just isn’t taking. I will… Read more →
Last nite I snuck into Chapters to get a bird reference book. I also veered by the photography section only to see that ‘Instant Love’ by Susannah Conway, Jennifer Altman and Amanda Gilligan was finally on the shelves! I have an extensive vintage, toy, digital and Polaroid collection of cameras. They are, besides my kids, my pride and joy. I’ve… Read more →
Eeeek! I couldn’t wait to share this with you. This nest came with the house. I’ve photographed it numerous times and tonight I hit the motherload! I noticed some fuzzy little heads poking out of the nest while heading inside after our evening stroll. I grabbed my 75-300 mm and here’s what came next: Mama Bird keeping a very watchful… Read more →
