What if this was always part of the deal?
What if you were always going to face this challenge right now ? How differently would you approach it? Your kid was always supposed to have 7 cavities in one visit. Your car was always going to break down 4 times and each time they said they fixed it, they were wrong. What if you …
I want to be more confident in my life!
This is what I hear the most. But what does being more confident mean to you ? Does it mean that everybody would think you are confident ? Does it mean you are not afraid of anything ? Does it mean you never feel doubt ? Does it mean that if you were confident everybody …
Meet yourself where you are.
That is my superpower – to meet myself wherever I am. If I am angry then I meet myself in anger. If I am disappointed then I let myself be disappointed. If I am tired, my least favourite place to be as I’m finding out, I meet myself in the “I’m tired”. That is my …

We used to butt heads A LOT! He is just like me in so many ways! I used to get angry at him when he was getting angry at me or at his brothers. “Why can’t he just be happy like his brother?” I used to think. I used to be frustrated just thinking of …
50% shitty and 50%amazing.
My 50/50 this weekend during camping was this: The amazing 50 percent: Beautiful sunsets and landscape of the Dinosaur Provincial Park. Loved watching kids climb. Doug and I really enjoyed exploring the park and watching our kids try to climb everything (well, i was freaked out a bit, but luckily no injuries). Shitty 50%: Freezing …
Yelling is not a problem, yelling is a SYMPTOM.
“I’ve been home with the kids for 4 years. I’m not sure what to do next. I would like to contribute to my family’s income. I also don’t want to go back to the job I had before I had kids. It’s almost like I’m having an identity crisis!”. . If this is you and …
