Being a trail blazer (knowingly AND unknowingly!)... Being a trail blazer requires that we create and follow our own paths, led by our hearts and passion for what we value... We just never know when we live our truth who we might become a trail blazer for... making the path for another easier because we were willing to be the first to go where no one has gone before... I had a delightful surprise today when I went hiking in forest trails. I had to make my own tracks yesterday after … [Read more...]

The power of inspiration... I don't know anyone who doesn't love the feeling of being truly inspired... What inspires each of us can be vastly different, yet the feeling is the same... a heightened sense of being filled with Spirit, life-force, well-being, wonder, motivation, creative flow... Really, it's something, like love, that words cannot describe - it's an experience... At this time of the year, between the Winter Solstice on December 21st and the beginning of the New Year, which … [Read more...]

Blissful BEing... At this time of the year especially, it's easy for people to burn out with the festivities... not to mention that lifestyles in general also demand that people do, do, do... and do some more... Taking a "time out" to simply BE... even if it's only 5 minutes, to simply focus on breathing and giving your mind a break, creates a shift in perspective, in energy, in space, allowing for greater awareness and possibilities to come into play... Nature demonstrates the dynamics … [Read more...]

Divinely created masterpieces... While everything created by the Divine is a glorious miracle that fills me with loving wonder and reverence, I discover particular creations at times that seem to burst with artistic joy!... When I first discovered this Green Darner dragonfly (in my former urban backyard of gardens)... I was in absolute awe!... Not only is its size of 4 inches from wing tip to wing tip very impressive, but the colour combinations are so striking and bedazzling! This one … [Read more...]

Spirit speaks through Nature... I'm always so in awe to experience the divinity that permeates all life!... Spirit speaks to us in so many ways... through our hearts, through people, through circumstances... just to name a few... but also through Nature, in such beautiful ways... When we attune to Nature in a way that all our senses become receptive to what it desires to communicate with us, a whole other dimension of life experience opens up to us... and it's truly amazing. I have so … [Read more...]

Unexpected delights of Nature... It always fills me with such great joy to have surprise encounters with wildlife in Nature and beyond... On yesterday's glorious Winter Solstice, after I drummed from my heart with so much love and appreciation to All, I went on a Nature hike and as I returned, I encountered these 2 beautiful woodpeckers that suddenly showed up!... The large one is a Pileated, and the small one is a Downy... I found it so significant that THESE are also drummers - … [Read more...]

The dance of the seasonal cycles... The Winter Solstice arrives at 11:11 am CST in the northern hemisphere in my time zone tomorrow, December 21st! Talk about an incredible portal opening up for the new season!... I will be limiting my time online tomorrow, to be fully present to that significant day. In celebration of the changing seasons I'm sharing a poem I wrote in 2010 for my first book "Mending Mother Earth with Native Plants". May the new season bring you more wonders, beauty and … [Read more...]

Life, such a gift... We're so blessed to experience life in our physical bodies, here on such a magnificent planet, Mother Earth... To experience everything through our multi-dimensional senses, beyond just our physical senses... what a gift we have here on Earth... When I was a child, I spent as much time as I could outdoors in Nature... I loved to explore, observe, experience life with all my senses... When I couldn't go outdoors, I would spend hours just looking at books filled with … [Read more...]

Luna and Gaia's intimate relationship... Every few days and nights around and on a Full Moon, I feel the energy intensely... Here on the celestial body of Mother Earth, we're affected by all other celestial bodies, especially in our solar system. We're not an Earth "bubble" separate from everything else in our glorious universe... We're all so connected and the most obvious example is closest to our home of Gaia... Since the Moon began its orbit around Earth, these two have had an … [Read more...]

A family as vast as the stars in our universe... Within our hearts, most of us desire a world where love, kindness, appreciation, harmony, community and celebration of everyone's individuality (including our own) prevail. I truly believe this can be achieved. If we each lovingly embrace every type of being that exists in our global family, then we will co-create the world that we desire - from our hearts... Our hearts know a language that is universal and when we use it, … [Read more...]
