Enjoy this Monday and celebrate Family Day by taking time to call distant family members and to connect with those who are far. Share a meal, pick up the phone and reconnect with your extended family. All too often we are caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is nice when a holiday occurs to celebrate this time off with a delicious meal and dramatic conversation. Use this day to practice some meditation to calm your mind. Often we need a break to change our focus.

As I am writing this blog from my office I am looking out at one gorgeous day. The heat has been intense today but all the more reason to seek out a friend with a pool! The bee balm is finally starting to come into bloom and it is making a spectacular show this year. This plant looked a bit dire earlier in the season but has taken off with the warm spell we have been under. A little reiki in the garden also helps too. As we near the end of July, many are enjoying vacations and spending time...

Celebrate family this week! This is time to spend extra time especially as Father's Day just passed. Make some time for a bbq or reach out to relatives you haven't seen in awhile. Share a lunch or a day of shopping. Practice a mindful meditation in a park or by the lake together. Sit on a bench and just relax. Finding time in our daily moments for connecting with family is important in our busy lives. Book a reiki session for a family member to help them cope with daily stressors. Most of all...

Signs of spring are all around. A simple robin and a nest are a sure sign of new beginnings. This is a time of renewal and growth. The best part of spring is watching your garden awaken from the dormancy of winter. It is always so fascinating to see what has made it through the winter months. The gratitude is immense when I see herbs especially Sage which have survived this tough winter. Take some time to enjoy this season. Practice a walking meditation and be mindful of all the beauty in...

November is a great time to connect with your family. Enjoying a birthday celebration with family is a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The preparation of the meal allows one to be present in the moment and practice mindfulness. It is important to take time out prior to the holiday season to be mindful, practice meditation and enjoy a reiki treatment.

This is a great time to explore nearby nature areas. The colours of the foliage are lovely. Practice a walking meditation and just enjoy being outdoors. Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude. As we spend time with family, one has a chance to appreciate the gifts everyone brings into our life. Life is filled with many blessings and now is the time to celebrate them. Learning reiki is a way to share your skills with others in a positive environment. I have found this year my apple/pear/date galette...
