Happy New Year!

2012 is all about new beginnings, new chapters and personal transformations.  If you have been thinking of change and growth in your life, this is the perfect year to do it!  It’s time for you to find purpose and connect to who you are and why you are here.  For some of you, the road might not be apparent or easy to find.  Remember that it isn’t about how to get there or where the road is, but more about just putting one foot in front of the other and just starting to walk.  The direction you take will most likely surprise you!

I’ve been thinking over the past couple of days about the energy that we are moving into this year and it is very exciting!  There will be a lot of movement happening all over the world.  I started to wonder about what I could do to help people get onto their path a bit easier.  To give you a bit of a jump-start if you are looking for change and purpose.  I came up with something that I’ve started implementing with some family and friends and I thought I would share the idea with you.

To New Beginnings!

What I would like to offer to anyone that is interested in changing their lives, finding more purpose, happiness, love and gratitude, is a series based healing/intuitive package. These sessions with be completely tailored to you as an individual and will be as unique to you as you are to the world!  They are really all about helping you find what you need to get you to move forward in the New Year.

You will start by committing to 8 sessions, one per week, at 30 minutes in length. I want to help people move forward and take that first step, so I have really kept the cost to you very affordable.  Per session, the cost will be $20 and your total commitment over the 8 weeks is $160.

It’s a great time to start to make changes in your life; an exciting time for transformation and growth.

I can help you get there.

Best wishes for a prosperous 2012! I wish you all love, happiness and health in this New Year!

A lot of us want to create more positive energy in our lives and be surrounded by more positive people. So why is it that negatives things still happen, even with those things happening over and over? Why is it that the people around you seem to be negative and bring you down? Why can’t you create that positive lifestyle you want and deserve?

There are many different reasons why you could still be reaching for that positivity that’s missing. One of the biggest reasons is usually based on your belief system. A lot of people feel that they don’t deserve to be happy or have fulfilling relationships. This is usually based on a belief of not feeling good enough and having low self esteem. This is just one example of many beliefs that can keep you from positivity. Looking at your belief system is definitely one of the first places to start changes.

Something else to consider, and this is usually related to the relationships in your life, is that you are addicted to the drama surrounding people that are negative. This happens more often than people realize. It’s very easy to become distracted by other people’s problems and be pulled into the negativity that is associated with drama. Learn to let go of the drama. Start having conversations with people about the good things that happen rather than the bad. Or start letting go of the people that bring negativity into your life.

Also look at how you look at situations that crop up in your life. Why do you see the situation as being negative? Why not look at the positive aspects of what has happened to you? Figure out why it was good for you to get into that car accident, or why you were fired from your job. Stop looking at the negative reasons surrounding those situations. There is good in every single situation that you create within your life. And yes, YOU DO create everything that happens to you.

Start looking inward rather than outward. Create more positive situations. Become more aware of your thoughts and replace the negative ones with positive ones. Start living your life with passion and choosing things and people that bring you closer to what you want. If you want to change your belief system, (which affects your thoughts greatly) then start looking for ways to do that. One amazing way to do that is through a process called Psych-K.  It’s a process that allows for re-programming limiting beliefs that is very effective.

It’s time to start making changes in your life to bring you closer to who you truly are and what you deserve.

Do you have a relationship in your life that drags you down?  You feel drained or negative after being around or speaking to this person.  Or this person speaks of all the bad in their life, but doesn’t take the action required to make their life better.  You know who I’m speaking of.  Whether it be with a significant other, friend or family member, many of us have these relationships with people that we seem to keep a hold of.  But why?

Obligation, guilt, fear of change, not feeling worthy of better relationships, and other reasons.  Let’s talk about a few of these reasons.

Guilt.  We feel guilty either for standing up for ourselves and telling whomever, enough is enough.  We feel guilty because we don’t want to hurt their feelings, not taking into consideration our personal well being and having constant negativity thrown at us.  It’s funny how we put them first, over us, isn’t it?  But why do we do that?

Not feeling worthy.  We don’t feel that we deserve better.  We are used to putting others first and ourselves second…third…last even.  Self-love and putting ourselves first is what we can practice more.  By allowing yourself to be first, and choosing not to have that type of energy around you, you are practicing self-love and feeling worthy of having a better life filled with more fulfilling relationships.

Obligation is probably one of the biggest reasons why we hold onto these relationships with people that don’t serve our higher good.  We feel obligation towards that person, whether it be for a societal reason, or because they are family, or a long time friend.  So what?  It’s time to let go of that obligation!  Obligation is just another form of worrying about what other people think about you!  It doesn’t matter what they think.  What’s important is what YOU think about YOU.  What if it’s your closest family member, you ask?  Like a sibling or parent or child?  What if it is?  Doesn’t matter.  You need to ask your self what you want out of life.  Does this relationship that you are holding onto, yeah, the one filled with constant negativity, abuse, anger, guilt, or frustration, serve you?  Do you want to be caught up in that drama?

No?

Then stop fearing change.

I’ll tell you one thing.  When you let go of people in your life that no longer serve your higher good, you make room for people in your life that DO serve your higher good.  Now, doesn’t that sound like more fun?  It does to me!  Having people in your life that support your passions, that are truly happy for you in everything you do in life.  A relationship based on freedom rather than one based on conditions.  Doesn’t that feel lighter to you?

I’m not saying that everything is going to be rosey posey and you will never have conflict within your relationships ever again.  The difference is that you will be able to resolve conflict in a respectable manner with open communication, rather than communication within a relationship based on fear, guilt and obligation.  There is a difference.

So, tell me, how are you going to embrace change and move towards a future with happier, more fulfilling relationships?

As much as my time out here in the Maritimes has been about learning new tools for my readings, it has been as equally important for me to reconnect to who I am.

I think for a lot of us, as we get older and mature into adults, we can lose the true sense of who we are.  We get busy with everyday life…raising families, trying to advance in the workplace, and conforming to the expectations from society that we put upon ourselves.

Most of this is great, don’t get me wrong.  However, what I am able to see with a lot of people is the loss of connection to who they are and the connection to their inner child.

I have a great example.

January here has been a great month for lots and lots of snow!  A couple of days ago, a friend and I decided to go outside and build a huge snow fort in her backyard.  We spent a couple of hours digging out all the snow and had a great time!  I think the last time I built a snow fort was when I was around 11 or 12 years old.  Over the past couple days it is all we have talked about, just like you would as if you were a kid.  We’ve been planning what to do next, how to improve it and planning when we would work on it.  I really felt connected to my inner child at the time.

What interested me the most with the building of our most awesome snow fort, was the reactions we would get from people that we told what we’ve been up to.  Many people were shocked and questioned why we would do that.  Some people thought it was a cool idea and secretly wanted to go and build their own fort.  Then there were the few that were actually going to go and get started on their own awesome snow fort.

So, what is stopping you from going out to build your own fort?  Or try something fun from your childhood?  I think for most people, it’s the worry they have of what other people might think of them.  Of how they would be perceived by their peers.  Some people have simply just forgotten how to connect to who they were as a kid.  Here’s a little secret, the more you try to connect to your inner child, the easier it gets!  The more you connect, the more fun you have in life!  It’s a great side effect of being a kid again!

I have a few pictures of us working on our snow fort, which is not completed yet.  We have currently decided to renovate our fort and are in the planning process of making it bigger and better!

Enjoy!

Wow, it’s hard to believe that January 2011 is already near it’s end!

I’ve been enjoying my time here in Moncton during the winter months.  We had a fairly rough storm yesterday that brought lots of snow and some strong winds.  Looking out the window today you see a much different story!  It’s a beautiful sunny, but cold Saturday afternoon.

Many people have told me that I wouldn’t last here through the winter when they hear I am from British Columbia and have never seen a winter out here.  Although the winter is only half done here, I am really having a good time!

My husband Paul came out to visit for a couple of weeks and had a really nice time.  The weather at that time wasn’t the greatest as we had a few strong storms and weren’t able to travel very much.  I was able to take him over to Prince Edward Island and around a bit of the surrounding area of Moncton.  We did a bit of winter hiking on some of the great trails they have here, which is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time!  I introduced him to some of the great people I have met out here and he was welcomed in true Maritime style. 

I’ve posted a few pictures below of his visit as well as some winter pictures!

Enjoy!

I was thinking the other day about how my relationship with my husband has progressed over the years and I thought of something that I would share that might help some of you out.

We have been together for almost 14 years now, and have had lots of ups and downs.  Some really good arguments and lots of great laughs.  What I was thinking about was how our communication has evolved over the years and it wasn’t until just recently that I started changing things up a bit when it came to conflict and how I handled it.

Paul and I can both be very stubborn people.  For those of you that follow astrology, I am a Taurus and he is a Scorpio.  This makes for a very interesting dynamic when it comes to how we communicate and resolve our differences.    Things can get very heated!  We both don’t like to give in or compromise either…or even admit wrong doing.

So, what made me decide to change things up?  Well, I was speaking to one of my very wise mentors, Tamara about how frustrated I was becoming with certain things in our relationship and she gave me some really good advice.
