As we round off the year, I like to share tid bits of wisdom that I’ve gained or read. And I think it’s really important that we show up for yourselves. Sometimes we have to be our own hype person, our own hand to high hive or shoulder to cry on. The list below are some of my tried and true methods to showing up for yourself.

I know its this time of year when everyone is gearing up for 2024. Goals/resolutions, vision boards, planning planning planning. Here’s your reminder that along with these activities you should take every opportunity be mindful about your journey…
Practice Gratitude: Having genuine gratitude for what you have now!
Visualize: Imagine your life as if if you have achieved your goals. What you want, where you want to be, down to ever. last. detail.
Adjust your thoughts: Think about what you want everyday and act like you already have it. This trains your mind to see more opportunities to get you closer to what you want.
Transform: everyday, every minute you need to SHOW up as the person who has what you want and has achieved the goal you are going to achieve. This will be the most challenging part, but you have to push through and do it.
Earlier this year, I set a reading goal to read 12 books (at least) in 2023. I’m happy to report I’m right on track!
I recently read The Creation Frequency by Mike Murphy and it was such a great reminder about how we understand and interact with our surroundings (read: the Universe).
My favourite part was how he explained the power of manifestation as it relates to quantum science AND ancient wisdom.
Shout out to Vaughan Public Library for having such a great book in their catalogue! I’ll have to check it out again and update this post because I really want that concise commentary to live on this blog.
I give this book 5/5 ⭐️. If you are looking for a refresher or even an introduction on the topic – this is a great quick read with actionable steps.
Please share any book recommendations in the comments. Or check out the other books I’ve read in 2023 here.
I’ve been on an art kick lately. What does that mean? I’m making art daily. Whether it’s painting, canvas embroidery, digital art on the iPad, ink pen mindful drawing and of course photography! So today I’m sharing my art (++ the time lapse process of making said art) and some quotes that have profound life lessons in them!
It’s always hard, until it’s easy
Create more than you consume
When you figure out how to love yourself, everything changes
The world just reflects your own feelings back at you, reality is neutral
What ever you think, you believe and will shape your reality
The tools for learning are abundant, the desire to learn is scarce
Need to get started, quit talking and start doing
As much as I love running and want to do more of it, use it to challenge myself through stretch goals and discipline – there are some things about running I haven’t shared.
Just a quick fun/sarcastic take on the others side of running!
