“You’ve probably been hearing this statement repeated often by thought leaders, holistic teachers and modern-day mystics: “What is in one, is in the whole.”  Essentially, the elements that make up you make up everyone else and vice-versa. You are me and I am you; there is no separation. It’s a simple statement but intellectually challenging because the mind sees two not one.  In this case, this has to be taken to the soul level where (as you...

“I was at three separate events today – presenting at a trade fair for retirees, visiting a dance audition of one of my clients, and participating in a “Walk for Veterans” put on by an organization supporting Canadian soldiers. Each so different in context and intention but all sustained by caring and committed people.  These “pockets of love” are everywhere you are if you choose to “see” them.

You are energy and you emit it – empowering or dis-empowering yourself depending on the dynamic you have co-created.  Feeling your vibes is real not some new-age notion of selfish...

Sometimes we don’t know what is really going on with our buddies and something compels us to connect. Call it a divine request or a gut feeling, acting on our instinct is good especially when it comes to those who are in our lives.  As you know, they’re in your orbit for a reason,...
