The other day, I saw a post with regards to building a business that encouraged people to reach out in order not to feel alone. And while I appreciate the sentiment because, hey – who enjoys travelling through life alone? Sometimes we need support and encouragement. And yet how many of us are content to beContinue reading “Are You Comfortable Being Alone with Yourself?”

Parent and Child Perspectives
The other day, I went out with my sons to the farmers’ market. I love outings with my grown children. I enjoy our more adult conversations and love hearing their perspectives and insights. Our discussion ended up on the topic of perspectives of parent and child. As a mom, I’ve seen my kids play manyContinue reading “Parent and Child Perspectives”
Your Children Aren’t You
Parenting for Individuation P1 One thing I learned early on as a mother was to rid myself of the delusion that I was going to save my kids from what I went through as a child. My kids aren’t me. They are born into this life with their own journey to undertake and my jobContinue reading “Your Children Aren’t You”
Life Changes…
We experience many first in our lives from the time we are born. The second time we experience a similar event, it doesn’t feel the same because we have already experienced it and therefore have the wisdom and knowledge that filters our experience. And yet we often ask – when can things go back toContinue reading “Life Changes…”
Mothers and Sons
My oldest son came home the other day from a two week work stint out of province. He’s been working rotation all summer – two weeks on and one week off. Every time he comes home, I swear he becomes more of a man – taller, broader, more articulate and thoughtful, strong of heart. WhenContinue reading “Mothers and Sons”
Reflections on The Oldest Child
This morning I woke up with my shadow reminding me of what I was like about 30 years ago. This happens within our healing process from time to time when we shift out of old belief patterns and habits – a small part of ourselves wants to remind us of who we were and thatContinue reading “Reflections on The Oldest Child”
Who Am I Now?
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve taken a lot of time to relax this summer and discover who I am without being a mom to my kids. While I will always be their mother, my role is turning to one more of mentor and friend. Rather than guiding them in all of theirContinue reading “Who Am I Now?”
Cooking with Mama!
4-ingredient Blueberry Dessert Last week, I felt like dessert but didn’t want something too sugary or processed. I’m all about eating foods with less ingredients so I took a look in my fridge and found just what I needed: blueberries, plain Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and maple syrup. I don’t have measurements because you canContinue reading “Cooking with Mama!”
Parenting for Individuation
Part 1 Last weekend, I attended the Of Earth and Fire Women’s Festival where I facilitated a workshop on Parenting for Individuation. I feel it’s an important topic to discuss because a lot of parents aren’t comfortable with, never mind knowing how to, have their children individuate from them. From the time our children areContinue reading “Parenting for Individuation”
In Love with an Idea
The other day, I met a friend for coffee. We were talking about life, our families, and that both of our youngest had graduated. We are both moving into new phases of our lives, and as conversations go, we got into some serious discussions on things. She asked me a question which I haven’t beenContinue reading “In Love with an Idea”
