I will be posting funny or cute video on Friday’s to brighten your day and get you going for the weekend!  Enjoy!!

If you have had or have a cat, and attempted to put a halter and leash on them, then you will really relate to this video!

Today my husband reminded me that it has been over 5 years since I started this blog.

I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by.

It got me thinking though that there might be some blog posts that I’ve written in the past that people who are pretty new to my site may have missed.

So I decided to put together a quick roundup of a few posts from the past.

These are oldies, but goodies!

Post #1 – Love Is All You Need

This is a great post about how we get started on loving ourselves!

Post #2 – How To Create A Fulfilled Relationship

In this post I talk about healthy balanced communication.  A great way to shift any relationship in your life.

Post #3 – Looking To Lose Those Limiting Beliefs?

Here I talk about limiting beliefs and a great modality to make changes on a sub-conscience level.  Time to shift!

Post #4 – The Invitation By Oriah

I just love this poem…so why not add it to the list!

Post #5 – Meditation Made Easy

No more excuses about not meditating!  Read this post and get started today!

I hope that you enjoy these posts as much as I enjoyed writing them!  Happy Thursday!

You may be surprised to hear what the one thing I make sure I do everyday is.  Some people would think that it may be meditation, self Reiki sessions or even making sure that I am getting all my veggies every day.  Nope!  That’s not it!

I make sure that I have a good laugh.  Everyday.  I find something funny to watch or read about everyday that is going to make me really have a good belly laugh.  I love it!

I love to laugh.  One of the first things in the morning, along with my coffee, is to sit and find something to make me laugh.  I will search Facebook, YouTube or other sites to find things that are funny.  Ellen or Jimmy Fallon are usually sure bets to get some good laughter happening for me!

I find that it really helps me to set the day off right.  If I am feeling a little tired or sluggish it really helps to bring up my energy.  I firmly believe it when “they” say that laughter is the best medicine.

Laughter is very healing.  I believe that it allows us to break up dense energy and lets movement start to happen.  It raises our vibration and makes us feel good.  And that is the whole point of things, right?  To Feel Good Now!

If you are having trouble getting into a state of gratitude, start with finding something funny to watch or listen to or read.  It will help you uplift your energy and get you on the road to joy!

Below is the video I watched this morning to give me a good laugh! Enjoy!

There are many myths about psychics out there.  I am going to share with you the 3 most common myths I run into.

Myth #1 – Psychics can read your mind all the time!

Ok, for the most part this is myth.  Most psychics can’t read your mind all the time.  I’ve had my share of skeptics ask me what number they are thinking of, what your address is, or my personal favorite…what are the lottery numbers.  Now, when I say that this is a myth for the most part, there are times where I do get sentences or full thoughts word for word what people are thinking.  This doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen.

There are also people known to have the ability to be telepathic.  This is the ability to communicate with someone mentally.  It isn’t very often that I come across someone who has these abilities, but they are out there.  I have run into a few children who have the potential for this, but are usually not using the gift to their full potential.

The most common form of “mind reading” so to speak would be through reading someones energy.  Feeling the energy that comes from someone and then translating those feelings into thoughts.

 Myth #2 – Psychics can tell you your future

The future is not static.  The future can change.  It changes depending on the decisions you make.  I do believe that we are on certain paths that can lead to events along those paths.  Those events can for the most part be changed.

For example,  if you are in a relationship that is having problems, you can shift this energy.  You can work on the relationship if you want to.  The answer isn’t always black and white.  I receive details around the relationship and I can give information based on what is going on in the moment and how that will work on the path that you are headed on.  I can tell if the energy of certain paths feel heavy or light.  You have a choice to make changes, if you want to.

Don’t get me wrong.  I do see circumstances that happen in the future for people.  The point I am trying to make is that when you become aware of this information, that in itself, as well as any decisions you make from that information can change that actual future.

Myth #3 – Psychics don’t or shouldn’t need to ask questions

This one drives me a little bonkers sometimes. 😉

Sometimes reading energy can be challenging.  We get feelings, thoughts, spirits, pictures and sometimes this happens all at once!  When I am sitting down with a client there are many things happening and sometimes I need to ask for clarity on energy that is coming through.  Usually when the information comes in and I ask the client about it, they can relate to the information I am presenting.  Not always though.  Sometimes we have to dig a little in order to make sense of the energy that is presenting itself, and then it makes sense.

We are interpreting the energy and messages coming in.  We are translating the information we are seeing.  If we don’t ask questions to ensure we are reading the energy properly then we could potentially give incorrect information.  This is how I see it.

It’s important to also mention the flow of energy.  A lot of the time my clients are nervous when they come to see me.  I can usually work though this energy.  There are rare times when the nervousness and anxiety is so high that it blocks the information coming in.  It blocks the flow of energy.  It’s important to allow for this flow so that the energy/information can be accessed.  Asking a question or getting the client to ask a question can often open up that flow.

Sometimes when spirit comes in, the only way I can communicate with them is if we ask questions to them.  I will get my client to ask a question to the spirit and then I will hear an answer from the spirit.  The information that comes through doesn’t always just appear from the spirit.  In most cases it does, but not always.

So, the next time you have a reading, please keep this information in mind.  By knowing this information it allows for you be a better receiver which makes for a better reading.  My intention for every reading is to give the best information for you and your highest good.  Find someone that best resonates with you, that has great testimonials or is referred by someone.  When you have this information above and have that trust in the person you are seeing, you are opening yourself up to allow for a great experience.

It was five years ago this past weekend that my life changed for the better.  I wouldn’t have known it at the time, but looking back of course I can see how that moment was pivotal in changing my path.

I was involved in a car accident that was challenging to say the least.  It was actually one of two accidents in a 3 month period.  You see, the Universe was sending me messages for quite some time but I just wasn’t listening.  I knew that I had to make changes in my career, but I allowed myself to make excuses not to change.

So the Universe sent me a message in the form of a car accident that forced me to have to stop working for a period of time.  Unfortunately, I didn’t listen to what I knew I had to do, and I went back to work.  So the universe sent me the message a second time in the form of another car accident, to make things quite clear to me that I needed to make changes.  I guess I can be stubborn. 😉

I was in a job I hated, especially on a Monday.  I was unhappy, almost depressed.  Paul and I had been struggling with infertility for a few years.  Money was really tight…couldn’t pay the bills tight.  Life as I knew it then was very challenging.  So to add the stress of 2 car accidents to what was already a stressful life felt just impossible to overcome.

I knew I HAD to change.  I couldn’t live my life like that anymore.  After the 2nd accident and the circumstances surrounding it, I decided that it was time to make changes.  I had no idea really what this meant but I had made the decision that I was WILLING to make changes in my life.

That’s all we have to do as a first step to change when we are feeling stuck.  We must be willing to make changes.  Once we decide that we are willing to change, the steps start to follow.  We will start to see the steps come forth.  My next step was to quit my job and move to Moncton to train in what I LOVE to do, for 10 months.  I have to admit, it was an extreme move.  In most case for others the turn of events will not be like that, but for me, this is what worked.

I decided to take that leap of faith and move forward.  I didn’t know where the money was going to come from to pay the bills.  I didn’t know where I was going to live while I was there.  I didn’t know a single person that lived in Moncton when I left here to go there.  I couldn’t see the outcome of what was meant to be.

Was I scared when I quit my job and decided to move?  Sure!  I didn’t know if I would be coming back here.  I didn’t know what the fate of my relationship with Paul would be.  But I knew in my heart of hearts, that this was the right move for me.

I just knew what the next step would be.  Once I took that step, then the next step would follow.  And the next.  And the next…until here we are in 2015.  Five years later.

I am now living the life I want to live.  I am happy, fulfilled and I love life.  I love Mondays and every other day of the week.  I can pay my bills now.  I am a completely different person than I was in 2010.  My life is enriched in so many ways.  I am truly blessed.

Yes, it took time to get to where I am.  I have to say though, the time flew by.  I look back and I think to myself…wow, it’s already been 5 years!  It wasn’t an easy path, but it was definitely rewarding.  It’s important to have patience when you are on your journey.  Be kind to yourself.  When making changes for the better, choose things that YOU love to do.  If you are in a job you hate, make some changes!  Go to school part time, look for another job, or find fulfillment in a hobby.  Start a part time business.  It could be anything…just choose something that you love!

It’s so important to love what you do in life, in all aspects.  When we love what we do, we feel better.  Our energy is better.  The flow of life is better.  Creating what we want is easier.

If you are in a space where you feel like a change is needed, and you have decided that you are willing to make changes, ask yourself what is that one first step that I can take to make things better?

A few years ago I had an interesting experience.

It was the middle of the night and I got up to go to the washroom.  When I got to the end of the hallway, out of the corner of my eye I noticed something standing in my office space.  So I stopped and looked and noticed something really weird.  Let me just say that at this point in my journey I didn’t really know a lot about goddesses or archangels.

So I stood at the opening to my office and looked at this weird entity that I had NO idea who or what it was.  What I saw was some creature with a human body and a cat head.  I just stood there for a moment wondering if I should freak out a little or try and talk to “it”.  I got my wits about me and tried to talk to it.  I said “who the hell are you?”  All I heard was the word protection.  I noticed that I wasn’t scared or creeped out like I have been with some other spirits.  It felt very safe in the room before I heard the work protection…so it made sense to me.

I then asked again, “who are you?”  This time all I heard was the word Bast.  I had no clue what this meant.  So I just said “whatever” and I walked to the washroom.  Hahah!  By the time I was heading back to the bedroom, Bast was gone.  So I just thought, “well that was weird…”  I went to sleep and thought nothing of it really for the next few days.

I was visiting a friend a few days later who has a vast knowledge of spirits and all kinds of things.  So I asked her if she had every heard of a spirit that was human body with a cat head.  I told her I heard the name Bast.  She was quite surprised when I told her about my encounter and then proceeded to tell me that Bast or Bastet is an Egyptian Goddess and she is a protector of many things but especially of women and children and serves as a matron of magicians and healers.

I thought this was pretty cool.

I recently bought two books that I think are very awesome and I am excited to have in my arsenal of knowledge!  They are the Encyclopedia of Spirits and The Encyclopedia of Mystics, Saints and Sages by Judika Illes.  They are quite extensive in information.  There are hundreds of pages of different names and write ups.

I have seen Bast from time to time since that first encounter.  I also call on her when I feel like I need a bit of extra protection.  I am really looking forward to encountering new spirits and learning about them in these books!

It can be challenging to make changes for the better in our lives sometimes.  Especially when these changes involve people that we love or care about.

When we start down a path of self healing or self discovery we often start to learn about boundaries and how to create healthy boundaries.  We are really creating new patterns here, or new dances so to speak.

Not everyone in our lives will want to participate in our new dances.  More often than not, the people that have the hardest time with our changes are the ones that are hurting the most.

When we start to empower ourselves and make better choices and start to speak our truths to others, we can find that sometimes the ones we care about the most can have the strongest reactions.  This is because we are changing and deciding not to participate in the pattern (or dance) that has been going on for years.

If you are in a relationship that isn’t serving the new you, then sometimes we have to let those relationships go.  If you are surrounded by people that constantly put you down directly or indirectly, and you have spoken your truth to them, but they decide to continue with the same pattern then it may be time to look at detaching from that relationship.

Our relationships, whether it is friends, close relatives, parents, or in-laws, are to be positive.  We want to feel good around the people that we surround ourselves with.  We want to choose people that will listen and empower us rather than condemn and strip us down.

Yes, this includes our close family.  It doesn’t matter if this is your parent or sibling continually treating you like garbage.  Unwilling to hear your feelings or bashing you when you try to communicate with them.  We have the hardest time with this.

We feel like we HAVE to keep these destructive relationships in our lives out of obligation.  “But this is my parent…I can’t let go of my parent…”  I hear this often.  When this person, WHOEVER it is, is abusive and unwilling to change then tell me…why would we want them in our lives?  Why would we want to subject ourselves to that type of energy?  Why would we sacrifice our well-being just because we feel we HAVE to?

No.  This is not right.

We deserve the best in our lives.  We deserve to be surrounded by people that support us and be our cheerleaders.  To care and comfort us in time of need.  To help guide and uplift us to be the best that we can be.

I’m not saying that everything is going to be perfect.  There may be conflict and challenges that arise within these positive relationships.  The difference though, is in the communication that happens when conflict arises.

It’s to be constructive not destructive.  Both parties are willing to listen and share how things make them feel.  Both parties are willing to make changes and respect the boundaries that are being put forth.

I saw this Meme the other day that said something to the effect of ” people that leave you didn’t really love you because they wanted you to change…so stay the same because they never really loved you…”.  It slightly irritated me because the energy behind it was perpetuating victim-hood and was covered in guilt energy.

What if the exact thing that your loved ones really need is for you to leave their lives so that they can create their own new patterns?  Maybe by allowing them to treat us badly we are possibly enabling them to participate in the dance?  Something to think about.

On the flip side…

If you are continually acting like an asshole and continually hurting the people in your life, then there is going to be a chance that those people are going to walk away from the relationship with you.  If you aren’t listening to what the people in your life are saying to you and are combative and unwilling to look at the responsibility that you hold in your part of the dance, then people may leave the dance.

We deserve the best in our lives.  The best in everything, especially with whom we choose to share these bests.

Choose wisely. 🙂

This is an awesome video.  There is talk about removing resistance to the things we want, and letting go of time frames of what we think our healing journey should take.  There is also talk about letting go of what other people think of us.  This is my favorite part I think.

So many of us worry about what other people are thinking about us, or lives, the decisions we make and if they are good or not.  Abraham really makes it clear as to why it is important to let go of this.  I really used to care a LOT about what other people thought.  I second guessed myself many many times.  I don’t anymore.  Every decision I make is perfect for me and the moment I am in.  People are going to have opinions of me, good or bad.  No problem.

Letting go of the influence of others in my life was one of the greatest gifts I gave myself.  I wish that you will give this gift to yourself as well.

Today is the birthday of someone very special in my life.  We’ve known each other for most of my life.  We met when I was just a little girl, maybe 3 or 4. 

She is very caring, thoughtful, smart loving and such a great mom.  I often think that if I had kids, I would hope to be as good of a mom as she is to her kids.  She has an amazing sense of humour and we laugh so often together.  There are many memories together, all will be cherished. 

I look forward to many many more years of laughter and tears with her.  All my love to you Lara.  I hope you are having a wonderful birthday!  xox 

PS…hope you like the pic I chose…cuz I stole it from your Facebook…hhaha!   I thought it was perfect because you are a BIG LIGHT in my world.
