Apple Mimosas and Time with Friends

Because nourishing friendships is nourishment, too.

Yesterday, I had the joy of gathering with girlfriends for a Fall luncheon, a date we intentionally carved out, despite our full calendars. Like many women, we are busy and pulled in many directions, but we reminded ourselves of an important truth:

Time with girlfriends to catch up, laugh, share updates, and enjoy good food and drink is as meaningful to our wellness as any appointment or health routine.

These moments fill us up in ways vitamins and routines cannot. Connection, presence, and joy are part of living well and living fully.

Heather's Apple Mimosas were a hit. Sweet, festive, and just the right touch of sparkle. She also made a non-alcoholic version for me, a thoughtful reminder that friends look out for each other.

So gather the women who lift you up, mix up something delicious, and savour the gift of togetherness.

Slowing Down to Tune In

A gentle Yin practice reminding us to slow down and reconnect with self-awareness.

Yesterday, I hosted a Yin practice to help us slow down, go inward, and reconnect with our self-awareness. With a little help from Tavis, our golden guide, we were reminded what true relaxation looks like.

In our fast-paced world, it is easy to lose touch with how we feel, how we show up for others, and how our actions and energy shape the spaces we share.

Self-awareness is not just reflection; it is connection. It allows us to respond rather than react, to lead with empathy, and to bring more balance to our homes, workplaces, and communities.

Is it time to slow down and check in with yourself, your family, or your?

Rise: Inspiring Hope and Defying Limits

"What if the most challenging chapter of your life became the most powerful story you ever tell?" – Betty Jean Aucoin

I have been absent from my blog since October 2024, and now I want to share why. Many visitors to my site have been diagnosed with cancer, and I realized that the crucial lessons for living an optimally healthy life are rooted in my earlier posts. Additionally, I know that many of my followers prefer having a physical book that they can highlight, take notes in, and access easily.

With that in mind, I decided to write "Rise: Living Life Over Cancer," which is published by FriesenPress, a Canadian employee-owned publishing company.

I invite you to visit my site to learn more about my book, "Rise: Living Life Over Cancer." I am thrilled to fulfill my ultimate goal of inspiring hope in readers across Canada and beyond. Please consider picking up a copy for yourself or for someone you know who could use inspiration to push through limits and cultivate resilience.
