One of my favourite things to do is sit and read in front of the fire pit. Downside? Finishing the last book of a 5 book series and feeling like I’ve lost a friend! I highly recommend the Cainsville Series!

Release your stress, gain creative freedom and open your mind!

Each session begins with a guided meditation and exercise to open the mind and creative pathways. Then we move on to learn different writing techniques and styles while reflecting on who we are as individuals in this ever-changing world. The value found within creative writing and journalling is infinite and often used as a self-care tool.

This is YOUR experience! Dive deeper into self-discovery, explore new worlds and learn how to use your voice in this unique, one of a kind 4-week experience.

Sessions: Wednesday 9-1030am or Thursday 12-1:30pm.

When writer’s block hits, it highlights the blan

When writer’s block hits, it highlights the blank space between my ears. You know? The space where my brain and infinite worlds exist, well usually exist. When my imagination starts to dwindle, and my creativity wanes, I try not to force the words or be too hard on myself. Okay, so maybe I do give myself a mild scolding and have a meltdown, but over the last few years, I’ve become far better at accepting the block.

Instead, I do things that bring me back to the creative me. Hiking, punching my heavy bag, having a dance party in the living room, screaming at a game show with my wife, losing myself in a book or movie... Basically, I relax and take my mind off the writing at hand and just let the magic come back to me naturally.

And if that fails? I think back to something a writing teacher once told me. It went something along the lines of this: “Writing is like a fart. If you have to force it, it’s likely going to be sh*t!”

(Continuation from previous post)
That feeling of sadness and wonder made her a great inspiration in starting my own business that dives into the past and present, writing the stories of human life and chronicling the vast emotions and experiences we experience.

These stories matter. All our stories matter. We need to share, connect, understand, and bring light to our similarities and push past that which seeks to divide and segregate us. We have all felt pain, wonder, excitement, grief, ecstasy, love... NOW is the time we MUST reach out with our roots, crossing borders and boundaries not to take over and control, but to share and bond. To unite through story telling and heart.

Memories of days past... Lavender bath salts. Th

Memories of days past...
Lavender bath salts. The smell of lavender has always reminded me of my Nana Robb and her perfect, smooth skin. When I was a kid in England, she kept lavender in her dresser drawers to keep everything smelling fresh. I can remember there was one sachet right beside her face cream that I would shake and constantly sniff, never truly understanding what magical power of healing the plant held.

I used to rub my face against hers and feel the soft, smooth surface of her cheeks while smelling the lavender waft from her body. I would slide my hands across her face and stare at her smile, wondering what she was thinking. Living in Canada now, I haven't seen her in more than 15 years, but that smell always brings me back to her and makes my heart break just a little bit each time. I've been told I have her fire, her fierceness and that we are very similar, which I find hard to believe given that she is the sweetest, calmest woman I know. I've heard stories of her standing up for both her family and her worth when threatened.

My Nana Robb wouldn't let anyone tell her she was less than, and she definitely wouldn't let anyone mess with her family. She was...She is a strong black woman, and she is one of my idols. I've never told her that, probably because we've never sat down facing each other as adults and talked, but sometime soon, I'll tell her to her face. There are so many things I want to ask her, stories I NEED to hear. I want to know who I am by learning who she is. I know her struggles will guide me, and her stories of pain and trials will soothe my aching scars. We Robbs aren't known for our declarations of love or public affection, but her cooking and her hands, the kindness I remember seeing in her eyes sent so much adoration and heart that I never need to hear it.

I am at a loss for not knowing her story, for never having sat down to rewalk her path and marvel at the achievements she acquired against all the odds.

“When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear….” ― Gerald G. Jampolsky

We all know how frustrating it can be to block out

We all know how frustrating it can be to block out the world around you and focus on your meditation practice. In my mind these pictures say a lot:

Picture # 1. Ok my door is shut, that means no bothering me as I meditate. No knocking, no loud pounding music, I don’t want to see any of you for the next 20 minutes.

Picture # 2. Did I not just say don’t bother me?! Turn off that music and stop banging on my door! No your hunger does not count as an emergency! Go and find a snack!

Picture #3. Oh for &$@! Sake! Alright, next person to bother me has to clean the bathroom from top to bottom!

😌 the sweet sound of silence!

On crazy work days like this I’m not sure what helps me focus better- meditation or the 10000 cups of tea I drink!
