A beginner’s mindset is when you have the open attitude of a beginner, no matter how much you already know or how expert you already are on a topic. It’s looking at our task at hand (or even the whole world!) through childlike or beginner’s eyes, with a sense of wonder and excitement, and with a fresh new view.

If you haven’t already tried it, give affirmations a chance and reap the benefits they can bring. An affirmation, or a positive short phrase or sentence that we say to ourselves and then repeat throughout the day as needed, is reassuring. It provides reassurance to us that we have some control over our realities and that by repeating the affirmation, we can affect a very real outcome.

Well summer has begun a week ago up here in our neck of the woods …

The festive season is usually such a busy time of year. Now, with the pandemic ongoing and Christmas fast approaching, I thought I’d share with you 5 Ways to Take Exquisite Care of Yourself During the Holiday Season.

As we’re into the fall season in the northern hemisphere, the weather is changing and we don’t want to become sick with colds and flu, which it is easier to do when we are run down and exhausted. Self-care is vitally important in these months to protect our physical, emotional, and spiritual health so that we remain healthy, especially leading up to the winter. Self-care also can play a role in the joy and celebration that can come in honouring each season and help us to re-connect with ourselves and the earth and universe. And then when we are with our loved ones we can be more fully present for them. Read on for five self-care tips for the fall season.

This past week we welcomed the fall equinox and with that, fall has arrived up here in the northern hemisphere. Whether you are welcoming in fall or, in the southern hemisphere, the start of spring, take a moment to pause and reflect on what this particular season means to you.

We all have intuition but some of us don’t use it as often as others do. The more you use your intuition, the stronger it will become, and the easier you will be able to access it as a vital resource that you can rely upon. If you are interested in strengthening your intuition, you can begin by first strengthening your connection with yourself, and with your inner core essence.  And being in alignment with yourself.  Here are four ways to strengthen your intuition.

One of the things that I love to encourage is for us all to connect (re-connect!) with our inner core essence. That part of you that is so easy to forget, ignore and to temporarily occasionally even lose for a time when we are busy adults rushing through our lives. There are many ways to reconnect with your inner core essence, and today I’m writing about one in particular: remembering what you loved as a child.
