2018 is about transformation (of thoughts, energy and behaviour) for me. 2018 is about self-love.

With Bowie in tow, the stakes are elevated. I can't make any decision without considering the consequences and how it will affect her.

a good day to be BORN http://www.livethesaltylife.com/blog/agooddaytobeborn

Yeah, I had a baby! Sorry I kept y'all hanging. Before I had said-baby, I had grandiose dreams of all the things I was going to accomplish, all the projects I was going to start, business plans I was going to write, online courses I would take. In my head, it was going to be the most prod

And so, in a twist of fate and a deviation from the original plan, I sit
writing this blog post from a sunny cafe in Squamish as I'm back in Canada
for the foreseeable future. You read that right. Yes, I'm back in Canada,
back in Squamish. And as it turns out, I'm not alone...

The struggle is real. For me, freaking out meant reevaluating things and starting over.

Documentary producer Tara Henley's 39-year-old life is pretty different from what she had imagined when she was younger. Single with no partner, she gets real about living a life that doesn’t live up to her dreams ... yet.

Part of what made my experience at Maderas Village so great, was the people
that flock to it. I met some really great folk, both that stayed there and
lived there. I looked forward to sitting down to family-style dinners at
the long table and engaging in hours of discussion. For whatever reason, I
took on a healer role there. It made me wonder if that should be my path.
Here I was dressing wounds, doling out painkillers, counselling, advising
on physical therapy plans, and then playing shaman. Haha. Here comes that
funny story I've been waiting to tell you about...

As you continue to expand and evolve,
you are gifted with new space to create in.
Do not jump in to fill it with mediocrity
or allow yourself to shrink back
into what's comfortable + easy.
Only hold space for what gives you goosebumps,
for what lights up the divine magic from within.
Scream a soulful YES to nothing less than
vibrant. effing. aliveness.

May the only baggage you carry into 2016 be love (and maybe some
sunscreen).

Use these final hours of 2015 or the early hours of 2016, to reflect and
recharge, whatever that means for you. Be it quiet time alone, sitting in
a car, on a plane, in a hammock, on a beach, on your yoga mat, around the
dinner table or even sipping fancy cocktails in the corner of a swanky bar,
set intentions vs resolutions. You seriously get back from the Universe
what you give, so make sure you focus on the good stuff. Make love a
priority in your New Year's intentions, especially with yourself, and I
promise you will see it come back to you.

I wrote most of this post, iPad in lap, on a bus north bound from Dominical to Manuel Antonio. I should have been heading in the opposite direction down to Pavones (better known as the second longest left in the world), but at the last minute made the decision not to go. Initially I was trying to ho…

In November 2015, I sold my house in Canada, quit my corporate job,
liquidated my belongings, said goodbye to my friends and family and set off
on a solo journey to find a place to settle in Central America to open a
little surf/yoga lodge. I've been on the road now for over a month. Since
I've been gone, I've updated every other social media account with my
status, with the exception of one, my LinkedIn account.

Dominical was our meeting point to depart on our all-inclusive girls
adventure to the Osa Peninsula and Chirripo Mountain, Costa Rica. Chasing
Waterfalls promised waves, waterfalls and nature, but I experienced SO much
more and it's hard to put into words, so I've included loads of photos in
this post! Megan set out an itinerary that allowed us to truly experience
the magic and 'pura vida' that is Costa Rica.

I think you go through the same mental game anytime you are on a path to
healing. You are changed when you come out the other side. It makes you
want to give back.

The day that I decided to get into "planning/work" mode, the rain stopped
and the sun burned through the clouds. The rain felt like an omen. It made
me pay attention and forced me to make a commitment to myself to "get to
work".

While I should be of mindful of what I'm spending my money (and time) on, I
also need to relax and not let it rule me, as reminded in another quote
from The Alchemist. "We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our
life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we
understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written
by the same hand". I just need to keep on the path to my destiny. No big
deal. Ha.

I sit here in Costa Rica, a beginner again, but I know I am not alone. I
have the love and support of those at home. And home is only a click away.

The only one you can control is you, so choose to only put love out into
the world. It is said that the dove is a symbol of love and peace. So, be a
dove.

That mid-yoga thought reminded me how I’ve ignored that stickiness in the
past. When I’ve pushed through things in my life, where I should have
taken notice instead: relationships, decisions, health, etc.
