Transformation Through Self Honesty “We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.” ― Carlos Castaneda I am continually amazed at how effective not trying has been as a driver for positive change in my life. The alternative, trying, has been my predominant tactic to instill habits that support a vibrant, energized, and balanced lifestyle. Absolutely there were […]
Money Motivation There is an incredibly uplifting energy present at sunrise each day. The first rays of light cresting the horizon bring the forest alive, as creatures of all shapes and sizes sing their morning song. Greeting the Sun each day fills me with vitality and lightness as beams of love warm my face. It’s nice to know that Earth has got my back though – those same […]
Nurure Art Through the gift, I am reborn with new eyes Colours pop as clouds swirl high in the skies An abundance of material, so much to choose! Inspiration ignites the vision, emerging from the muse. A couple of weeks ago I fell in love with a gift. A seed was planted after watching the documentary, “Rivers and Tides”, featuring the creations of Andy Goldsworthy. The moment I started making […]
(Nature Art by Skye) Uniting Work and Play Through the Gift {Left Hemisphere} {Link to Right Hemisphere} . I would like to present an idea that has been developing throughout my experiences over the past few years.

Remembering the Guardians Every opportunity I have received to explore the Red Wood forests of California has left me with a sense of awe, wonder, and humility. The giant, spiraling guardians towering above, touching the sky with their limbs. I learn more in an afternoon playing than I would during a whole day in front of a screen on the internet. Walking around is like being in a momentary […]
A Gift for the Ocean Inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy I looked down at the clumps of stringy ocean plants, speckled rhythmically along the smooth sandy beach. What an abundance of beautiful art all around me, I thought. Suddenly, one particular clump caught my eye – it was a large mound with a curved tail coming off of it, in the shape of a spiral! Inspiration struck and I […]
Marching For Peaceful Resolutions For the past eighteen years, cities across the United States have rallied on October 22nd to show solidarity against police brutality. I am learning that occurrences of police brutality are much more numerous and severe in the United States than they are back home in Canada. A sad truth that is only deepened through the discovery that such violence often leads to death. This […]

Clockwork Life Ticking away the moments That make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours In an off-hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground In your home town Waiting for someone or something To show you the way — “Time” by Pink Floyd — It has been said the key invention that facilitated the Industrial Revolution was not in fact the steam engine. In reality it […]
Living Our Potential I am filled with gratitude and a renewed vitality waking up for my third morning with the Golden Gate bridge and ocean waves out my window. Canadian Thanksgiving, parting with a lover, and the awareness of the U.S. Government shut down and nearing debt default have sparked much reflection as themes of gratitude, love, and fear are reflected back to me. I find myself discovering […]
