Flashback
“A memory, a situation, a song, an encounter, a dream, a return to a familiar place prompts a flashback to a cascade of feelings. Are they feel-good or not so very happy? Do they pull you back into something or someone that you thought was long forgotten, removed and dissolved? Not so! Like a ghost, they’re back to haunt – perhaps tantalize you. You have to admit despite the tugging and even the pleasure, you’re not the same person you were. There’s no going back. You are here to move forward, to grow, expand, evolve and elevate. Your...

“Is it your imagination or are you experiencing more animals coming up to you than before? Are they looking at you longer as they peer from behind a tree? Are they swooping in closer and lower than you remember? Are there more of them than you typically see on a walk in the neighbourhood or hike in the woods? No, you’re not imagining things, the animals are approaching us. They are observing you and figuring out whether you are ready in kindness and spirit to make contact with them: to communicate with them through sight, hearing, sound and...
read moreCannot See for the Signs
“” Sign, sign – Everywhere a sign -Blockin’ out the scenery – Breakin’ my mind – Do this, don’t do that – Can’t you read the sign?” These lyrics come from the song released in 1970 by Five Man Electrical Band. They’re just as relevant today as then: road signs, directions, traffic lights, warnings, pedestrian crossings, billboards, speed cameras…add orange pile-ons and construction barriers to the mix and you’ve got a signage jungle that is visually overwhelming and barely navigable. It’s no...
read moreKita’s Gentle Message: Let Your Spirit Spill Over
“You have experienced this: one person begins to laugh and soon everyone nearby is laughing, chuckling away while not always aware of what the joke is in the first place. Laughter is contagious. It doesn’t matter how loud, boisterous, funny or cute it is; its sounds tickle others into submission – happy submission. Your spirit is like that, too. No matter how subtly, spontaneously, pointedly or shyly you exude your genuine essence, it catches others’ attention – sometimes unconsciously which is what makes Spirit – your Spirit so...
read moreTransition Time
“Are you in-between? In between jobs, a relationship, midway through a renovation, deciding where to vacation, what to wear to the party, having dessert or not, trying a new restaurant or sticking with the tried-and-true one? Maybe it’s not finishing a book – a first for you; are you scared about calling off the wedding when you know s/he’s not the one? People, situations – your life – seemed to be such a sure thing before. Three, five years ago, these questions never came up, did they? Now they overcrowd your mind… Solution? Drop down into...
read moreSpiraling
“Not to worry – you’re not spiraling out of control, but you are spiraling. Straight upwards taking in new sights and sounds as they reveal themselves to you. You are also extending outwards sideways as you ascend. It seems this circular motion is causing you to revisit people and situations – Déjà vu – you could call it that. Certainly, spiraling where you are moving both vertically and horizontally simultaneously can bring about a dizzying effect. Do you feel that way at times? Completely normal. You’re stretching yourself to understand and...
read moreTime to Get Physical
“Some of you may remember Olivia Newton John’s “Let’s Get Physical”, a homage to working out in the 80s – with leotards, leg warmers, head bands in popsicle colours part of the scenery. No worries here: this gym uniform is not required; however, the physical part may just save your sanity – your sense of balance as new light energies, unstable global events and weather continue to bombard our world. The latter is part of humanity’s shift into a new, healthier way of being on this planet. Managing such a monumental transition necessitates...
read moreShuffling Things Around
“Oops…the schedule has changed…whether person, place or thing, shuffling things around is the name of the game these days. The long-held appointment is postponed yet again. An awaited visit from a dear friend on hold due to illness. Unexpected thunderstorms nix the golf game. Fifteen chairs are needed; ten are available. Can someone pick up some? The list was followed to a “T”; unfortunately, batteries were left off the roster. Go back? Make do? Borrow? Replace? Forget about it? Are these small incidents teaching us patience, creativity,...
read moreShould You Give It Away?
“Sometimes it’s hard to find the balance between pleasing yourself and pleasing others. Having been taught that sacrifice, frugality and self-denial are cornerstones of the good person – of a good, disciplined life – one can easily conclude that self-indulgence, extravagance and celebrating abundance are therefore the black sheep of human behaviour. How sad that you need to give something away to “feel good” about yourself when, in fact, you feel miserable. Though you’re told repeatedly that life is a struggle – it has to be this way for you...
read moreIs It Not a Miracle?
“Is it not a miracle that an appointment is cancelled when you don’t feel like going; when you find a quarter on the floor to make up the change you need for coffee; when a car pulls out just as you are looking for a parking spot; that a person happens to open the door when your arms are full; that the museum is free on the day you visit; that the clouds clear for your afternoon picnic; that you spot a safety pin to fix the hem of your dress; that you have washed the pants you want to wear tonight; that your kids call to tell you how much...
