2018 – I’m Ready For You

For me, that day is today. I’ve taken the past two plus years for all the learning they gave me, I’ve laid the burden down, and now I’m ready to move forward in every beautiful way possible. I’m going into 2018 with a new word and a new purpose. This year I’m opening up to That’s it. Receive. I’m tired and I’m ready to stop the madness. It’s time to receive what God/Life/The Universe is offering. I’m tackling the coming…

Burden Down ~ What I’m Leaving In 2017

Well shit. It’s been one hell of a year. Anyone else? In truth, 2016 was a real doozy too and I could not have been more ready for 2017. And the universe laughed. But now, now I’m really ready for the coming year and I’m determined it’s going to be filled with all the goodness. I can just feel it….but first I need to wrap this year up. In 2016 my word was DISCOVER. And oh my word did I…

I Failed At Being A Dog Owner So I Could Succeed At Life

I don’t take my commitments lightly. And any changes come with serious and lengthy consideration and inner turmoil. It is not in my nature to not see something through but sometimes things change and you have to make a different choice. This summer, after moving into my new place, I followed through with the most difficult of decisions when I took my dog, Axel to be put down. It was a lonely decision met with much backlash, though followed also…

Ten Things You Shouldn’t Say To Your Vegan Spouse

I want a divorce. Unless this is an extreme case of bad timing, you probably shouldn’t threaten divorce with someone just wanting to change their eating habits. If the fact that they are going to be eating a plant based diet is that scary to you, perhaps they aren’t the issue šŸ˜‰ Does this mean you are going to be a hippy tree hugger now? For years vegans were thought of as hemp loving hippies and while that may have…

What Do I Know About Being a Life Coach?

I know it might seem odd to some of you ~ That while my own life is in shambles, I am working towards becoming a life coach. It’s laughable, really. But I’m still doing it. And I still believe I have value to offer, maybe even moreso because of my struggles, and have shown exactly that with those I have worked with already. Not surprisingly, many that I follow in this line of work, have at one time or another…

What is Virtue?

I sat in church a few weeks ago and listened to a lesson on virtue. The teacher was amazing and I found her teaching style upbeat and engaging. It wasn’t her that inspired this post but rather the numerous similar comments from the others in the room – there was a theme in the way we are conditioned to think, and it bothers me. It bothered me then, when I thought to write this and it bothers me now, weeks…

Reactive Anxiety Disorder – My Story

I think my recent facebook post said it best: Anyone who knows me knows that this is what I look like the majority of the time ~ smiling and laughing. I’ve got the laugh lines to prove it. But what nobody really knows is what’s behind it all. The thing is, everybody has a story and I think it’s time to tell you mine. I am naturally wired to be happy. To pick myself up and keep moving, and always…

Sometimes Responsibility Sucks ~ The Axel Story

Five weeks ago andĀ I still can’t really talk about it. Writing on the other hand, THAT I think I can do. Last fall Axel, my male dog (a lab, not a breed known for aggression issues) ate our neighbour’s cat inĀ a sudden and random attack. I saved the cat (never again) from his jaw, twice…but the damage done and the highest amount of vet involvement (which was chosen to get back at me) ran me a bill of $6700. You…

Ryan’s Anchor Day ~ R.A.D.

They say the triangle is the strongest shape because high amounts of forces can be sustained without deformation. I have recently seen in my life, the strength that comes from three. I know if we were talking metaphorically, I would be one of the three points of the triangle but the truth is, I think I’m actually surrounded by it instead. There are three people who have each played a major role in my journey so far. I am indebted…
