Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Sitting in the fullness that is my life.

 Great mawning!!




This morning I am sitting in the fullness that is .... my life.

The tasks that even yesterday seemed so pressing and that I just couldn't get ahead of, now seems so purposeful and connective.

The pile of laundry that didn't get attended to yesterday is now the perfect opportunity to get dressed in the clothes I need to be wearing for today.

The proposal that my son presented to me yesterday is no longer a space of frustration in not knowing how to make it work, but an opportunity that is rife with learning and potential.

I got the gift of spending time with a dear friend yesterday. We really haven't seen each other in YEARS, let alone had the opportunity to talk face to face for quite some time.

She readily introduced me to many people with tidbits from the past. Moments that "I" knew I cherished spending with her, but what an honour to hear how she held those moments dear as well.

I realized how much we were a part of each other's daily world. LOL she worked at the little coffee stop on campus where I fueled my education with spanakopita like NOBODY'S business!!

There was a point in the evening, where I shared about a pinnacle incident that we were BOTH present for, and she didn't remember any of it... not a WINK! I started in on another, realizing that at least I had pictures of proof for that one LOL.

And in returning home from our short visit, I realized... there is not a MOMENT of my life now, that I am not grateful that I have been through. At least after realizing that the build up of daily interactions built for us a friendship.

Yes, only a few days and even weeks ago, I was wanting a time machine to go back and "apply" myself differently in certain moments, but now...


I realize the Wealth of the daily walk and Presence with an AMAZING life companion that I had fully committed to over 20 years ago. 

"Looking back" and realizing there was not a day missed in INTENTIONALLY touching base with my Divine companion.... there now is nothing ...and everything before me that I know will involve being present with this Presence.

Now of course I say that and then in that, I feel the weight of holding a judgment to myself and humanity for falling short, but still... I choose to lead with a good heart filled with gratitude and intention that aligns with my simple statement and grand vision... A life lived in and with and through the essence and presence of God.

The lightness and "knowing" I am feeling myself in, WHILE even the events of today are not fully known. I am certain of the beauty of the unfolding of it all in this day called Today. And all I "have to" do is to allow myself to witness and feel the moments that I am in.

"Now" faith.

What moments in your life can you reflect on and "in" that give YOU a sense of "fullness" in life?


Here's to the start of a great week ahead ❤️

We are called to show up as the answer. The power of our gifts

 Good mawning!


This was taken 6 years ago at what felt like the point at which everything came to a crashing point. After experiencing a beautiful year of flow and adventure and being asked to show up in so many wonderful spaces... sharing our voices and our presence, we found ourselves in the hospital supporting our son who was in critical condition.

After just navigating a similar decision point and making the choice I wanted to 6 years ago, and seeing the grace of Wisdom and the hand of Divine presence at work in the lives around me, I know that I was called at THAT time to use MY Fullness and serve greatly at moment such as this...

That moment 6 years ago was brought before me again in this last week. Not as intense, but still in the guise of "disruption".

Do you experience disruption in your life? Have you ever been vibing and flowing in a direction and then "ALL OF A SUDDEN" something "shows" up and takes you "off-track"?

YOU had everything planned and now, it's not going the way you want it to?

As these photos came up for me in my memories, I was reminded of Esther. (LOL, I can't with the timing of this post and Purim coming up...)

She was "called" to use the "gift" that she was given to make a stand for the lives around her. Those of her people and family.

She was in the PERFECT position and timing in her life to make use of that gift to serve and 'save' MANY.

Maybe you know you have a great gift that SHOULD be shared but you are sittin' on it... you are letting "things" get in the way of you choosing to use it.

I will tell you, after these last 6 years and being confirmed of this gift again, I'm going to get up and use it in this softer space of choice than if someone's life depends on it... because in truth, someone's life IS waiting for you to share the answer to their prayer and problem.

I'm really glad I took these pictures in this way. The moments that followed were very hard, strong, courageous, and necessary to save a life. <3

Opening the gate of abundance.

 Good mawning!!


Opening the gate of abundance.

Can you imagine...EVERYthing that you have wanted and desire and haven't "quite" received fully yet, is waiting for you behind a huge gate.

Now of course, since you can imagine this gate, then YOUR gate can look however you want it to look.

Sometimes for me, it has been a tall iron gate, and other times is has been clad with gold.

I like the gate where I can see all the things through the gate and as it swings open, I feel the surge of anticipation similar to a kid rushing in to open presents on their birthday or Christmas morning.

Well, what if... sometimes it's not the things and experiences that you desire and ream of that coming pouring through the gate as you push it open. Sometimes what is revealed to you through inspiration and additional gifts that you will bear and share is what awaits you behind the gates.

Are you willing to receive MORE OF yourself as you step up to and open the gate of abundance in your life?

This is my question for me today and I would LOVE if you joined me in the exploration for yourself. What does your gate look like and what of yourself would you be willing to receive more of?

When we are graced to wake up REALLY NEW!

 Newness!



Just under a week ago "newness" landed in my life.

LOL sounds strange, but sometimes a new day that we are graced to wake up in is REALLY NEW!

I noticed that I woke at a different time (later) and with different energy. No drum roll or laundry list of ideas and thoughts... no carry over from the day (or lifetime it seems) before.
My eyesight was also different (not better, but I have been exercising it and it's better now).

With all that I noticed that was different, I also noticed habits that I love were not there as automatic anymore. And THAT was a big one for me.

I realized how much my good habits meant to me and impacted the way I flowed through my days.

So I figured, if I am starting in a NEW space, how would I like to shape this newness and the habits I apply to it?

I pulled out my mental rolodex of good habits and started slotting them in. I have no resistance to them, so why not. I am also not experiencing the level of "resistance" I was over a week ago to things like working out 😂😂😂 and shifting my diet, so now I decided to layer those in at next level application.

My quiet times are simpler and my study time now has more of an experimentation component to it.

I'm jumping in with the super simple I already "know" and adding in layers of upgrades.

In this newness, I realize that I do this as my default now.

How can I play MORE when I feel I have the "space" to do so?

In my down moments, when seasons change, when injury happens...I pack a "bag" of my favourite habits and adjust accordingly.

WOW! Am I excited about all this!💕😍😍

What newness is in your life right now? How are you feeling about it? Feel free to share 😊
