Something to say!
I have so much to say. And so much seems to be caught. I can feel my throat. Tight. Stuck. It makes me feel the need to cry. This needs to escape. Holding it in makes me feel sick. I have something to say about a “documentary” I recently watched. I have something to say…

It’s ok to be seen!
I’m actually not sure where to start this post, but I know I need to write it! I attended the first weekend course of my journey to become a coach (a professional coach? a life coach? a Co-Active coach? a life-enriching coach? a balance coach?). I definitely didn’t know what to expect, but I went…

Recipe: Loaded Miso Soup
Growing up, I never understood how my mum could possibly eat miso! I have now learned the errors of my ways. Even then, it took me until recently to endeavour to make my own miso soup. Here is my quick, loaded, miso soup. Add/subtract as you like! Note: this can also be assembled in a…

Chakra Massage
While in Nicaragua, I was taught a meditation technique called a Chakra Massage. I’ve always had a challenge with meditation – sometimes I can drop in, but most of the time I, like many, feel like I’m not “doing it right”. Which is so not true!

I have a few versions, depending on what sauces I have on hand, and what flavours I’m feeling that night. Base1/2 block Organic Firm Tofu – cubed1/2 Onion – julienned (optional)2ish handfuls Kale Slaw…

Managing Expectations
Expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. Expectations can be dangerous. They are unlikely to be un-voiced, and likely involve another human and incomplete communication. We have expectations for ourselves, for our lives, for those in our lives, for interactions, and the list goes on. These expectations are beliefs…

Recipe: Mini Breakfast Quiche
So, I won at breakfast this morning! Honesty here, I may have been slightly side-tracked while I was practicing yoga this morning…but, in my defence, I was dreaming up this amazingly delicious breakfast! I’m pretty sure these would also work frozen and re-heated for week-day breakfasts!* 4 Eggs – I get my eggs from a…

Public Speaking
I had a strange experience on Sunday evening. I went to an event and the audience was asked to participate by sharing what we hoped to get out of the evening. The group seemed pretty quiet, but a few brave people shared. The facilitator of the event wanted a little more. The energy of the…
