Part 3: The finale

Kia Ora! (That’s how we say hello in New Zealand) I have made it to my final destination, my forever home, and it feels soooo good! When I left Canada, I aimed to find my new forever home, the country that felt more aligned with my soul. I trusted that my new forever home would […]

35

Smack dab in the middle of Yoga Teacher Training, I turned 35. ‘Twas a birthday like no other. For one, I don’t think I’ve ever spent my birthday in another country because for the past 31 years, my birthday has been either right before the first day of school or the first day of school. […]

Two weeks

This picture sums up my life recently: Balancing conquering my fears and fun. It has been an AMAZING two weeks in Bali! About a month ago, I was a little anxious about coming to Bali because I had never been, didn’t speak the language, nor was familiar with the culture. Everyone kept telling me how […]

One part

T’is the end of the first part of my journey! I cannot believe that 3 months in France have come and gone! I didn’t intend to blog so little while being here but from the moment I landed I’ve been incredibly busy! Initially, I thought I’d blog once a week. That didn’t work, so I […]

One month

My first 30 days into my new life. What a crazy beautiful month this has been! I’ve settled into my life here as butter settles onto a baguette (I had to). When I moved to France in 2011 for the year, I arrived at my new house, got settled into my room and immediately thought, […]

New beginnings

On the heel of every ending is a new beginning. I’m still processing the month of March. So much change happened for me in March. I’m surprised I don’t have whiplash. March’s most prominent theme was letting go. And in doing so, being open to new beginnings. I officially quit teaching, I sold the house […]

Letting go, part 2

Letting go of someone you love. Last week, I made the most difficult decision of my life. I rehomed Millie. Our journies overlapped for such a brief period, but we both walked away changed Beings. It was meant to be this way. But that didn’t make it hurt any less. My life has changed so […]

New, new, new!

New season, new moon, new me! I have been feeling Spring in the air for the past two weeks. Our mornings in the forest have been full of birds, sunshine and warm-ish weather. It was snowing on the eve of Spring, and my mom teased me, “It looks like Spring is here!” I replied, “It’s […]

The power of No

Welcoming its power and possibilities. Saying no is one of the hardest things for women to speak. Most of us grew up conditioned to believe that to love someone means always saying yes and being willing to do anything for them as if love=I will do anything for you. Not only do we grow up […]

Letting go

What the forest teaches us about letting go When I first “lost” Millie in the forest, I panicked. I turned my back for a second, and then she was gone. I know, I know. These things only take a second. I wish I could say that was the only time, but it wasn’t. There were […]
