...shine anyway! It's not how we show up on a good day, that's easy. It's how we love difficult people and do we stay centred under pressure. If you are blown about by every wind, swayed by circumstances, unsure of who you actually are or struggle to see the big picture...counselling can help with that!

I was so disappointed when this painting didn't turn the way I envisioned it. It was inspired by my spiritual journey, and my artistic response to an assignment. I hung it anyway with a feeling of incompleteness. Over 20 years later, I added the golden flower in response to another assignment. That’s when the satisfaction of giving myself time and space came. I still have a sense that it's not done...and that's good...I've still got some living and growing to do!

Learning to be okay with undone-ness,
accepting reality as it is even when we wish it were different and loving others as they are without pushing for change takes grace and creates room for more. It's an approach to living, an attitude that brings deeper peace.
Counselling can help with that! Connect with me for a complementary session.

We recently moved and all the plants are so happy. New life is sprouting and blooming all over our home!

This is the fruit of change, the willingness to get uncomfortable, effort, completing and cleaning up old business.

We must let go to receive. Counselling and therapy can help with that 🕊️

Hmm two years later again...seems I have a two year growth cycle!
Being aware of our patterns is a huge help. Looking at the timing of events in our past can support the undoing of unwanted cycles while also harnessing the power of the things we want to keep. Counselling and therapy can help you get yourself sorted.
Peace & grace to you ~j

This affirmation rose up two years ago and resurfaced today as another layer was peeled back. The beautiful and sometimes scary work is worth the freedom! What state of being would you like more of?

Thankfully, flexibility is part of the human design. In trauma recovery we focus on this natural ability, to gently soften into expansion by addressing overwhelm. Most clients are genuinely surprised at the abundant resources already in their lives...part of contraction is the forgetting of tools and skills they've already acquired (it was the same for me, I was there for over 20 years).

I adore rainbows! This one was flashing in the breeze the other day as I hung out laundry. So small, easily missed, delicate yet strong, trustworthy and quiet. Beauty is like that. It shows up softly and helps in ways nothing else can.

May beauty bless you today.

I have countless photos of clothes hanging on a line. Something about it speaks peace to me—the sway, the light, the simplicity.

But these clothespins, oh forget it. They spring apart at will, and do not last (don't get me started on the plastic ones). Then I found this rope-twisting method from India—no pins needed at all.

It reminded me how often we cling to what’s familiar, even when it no longer serves us. Spirit is always offering new ways, fresh rhythms, even in the simplest routines.

Sometimes the sacred shows up in laundry—with an invitation to let go, embrace the new and to find beauty in the everyday. If you're wanting more peace, beauty, Spirit in your life connect with me.

Just one breath, then a list, next a step imagine your new outcome, complete a task, check off the list...that done feeling and just like that you're doin it!

Some emotional states are lovely, vibrant and life giving. Anger, fear and guilt can be life giving if the feeling moves us into growing and healthy action. When we experience emotions that deplete, limit or isolate it's wise to look at the root of the feeling (the belief it represents) and decide if we are going to let it grow or pull it. Counselling and therapy can help with that.

I was blessed with many cousins, blood related and chosen family. We grew up in the water, catching cray fish and frogs, building damns, learning to canoe and picking water lilies for our moms, aunties and Oma's. It's good and wise to let our inner children play, to let go of time and to do lists, make creative messes so we can remember how to be young at heart.
