This is the time of year we over-schedule, we over-spend, and we over-indulge and then we end up over-whelmed! We want to celebrate, naturally, and catch up with all our old pals, plus family events and work events! How can we say no? It's not easy. Below I have listed a variety of small to… Continue reading Self-Care at Christmas

The Great Purge
I suspect when most people do a purge, it's a seasonal thing, or maybe an annual event. Very practical! I, on the other hand, had a life-time of boxes to go through. I have called this my "great purge" and it's been on-going for about 3-years (and daily). As an artist (painter, writer, music-dabbler, and… Continue reading The Great Purge

An Act of Self-Love
During class recently, it came to me that yoga is such a generous gift we give ourselves: a simple act of self-love. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, or an hour or two a week, it is a place to land. To return to. To return to ourselves. To return to love.… Continue reading An Act of Self-Love
My Radical Self-Care Experience
This year for my birthday, I focused on some radical self-care. I treated myself to a trip out west. I spent a week sleeping on a couch (best sleep I've had in the last four years might I add!), writing on a couch, reading cards on a couch, drinking 8 glasses of water a day… Continue reading My Radical Self-Care Experience
