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?”

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”
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”
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”

It’s Their Birthday!

I looked at him and burst into tears, trying to joke about how I didn’t want to talk about it. (Of course we did…) TomorrowContinue reading “It’s Their Birthday!”
Motherhood Transitions
My son’s graduation photos were delivered and it’s another reminder that in a couple of short months, my youngest will graduate from high school. I’m the proud mother of 3 other high school graduates, and 2 have already graduated from post-secondary programs. This year, I went back to school to study hypnotherapy. As my programContinue reading “Motherhood Transitions”
Full Circle
The other day my son told me that his favourite part of the day was coming downstairs to the kitchen in the morning and seeing me there, washing dishes or sipping my tea. He described how happy it made him to know that I’d be there and he could talk to me about his sleep,Continue reading “Full Circle”
