I find a lot of people miss making it on their own to-do-list. People these days seem to be so busy, they fail to take care of some of their own basic needs. We live in a culture of business. Our days filled to the brim.

I admit, I have fallen into that trap. When we moved back from Mexico, I watched myself get pulled back in. I started trying to keep up with everyone. I found myself joining clubs and scheduling my time chock-a-block full. I was racing here and there, trying to be on time and ready for it all.

Phew! I don’t know what snapped me out of it. Maybe living in Mexico instilled in me something I could not forget. I had tasted what it was like to slow down and enjoy life.

After a few years of being back in Canada, and feeling exhausted and burnt out, I remembered: there is another way.

Part of my remembering had to do with a book called the Artists Way. Reading this book provided me the questions I needed to get back on track. To...

I resisted it.

We do. I think we all try to dim our light. We all have this tendency to play small.
Until we decide to get our of our own way.

I think collectively we are being called to use our voices. To allow ourselves to express what we are feeling. For so long we have let ourselves be overridden. We have allowed ourselves to be shut down. Shut in.

It is time to shine.

We are being called to rise.

There is no longer any good reason to hide.
We have to come out of our comfort zones and explore our full potential.

We have to stop allowing authorities to install doubt and fear in our beautiful minds.
We have to clear some space for joy, play and fun.
We have to return to trust.
To truth.
And to life and living.

These financial systems, our education,...
