Do you know what your Tarot Year card is (if not, take a look here)? For me, 2015 is a Wheel of Fortune Year. What do you think of when you hear that phrase…Wheel of Fortune? A game of chance? Spin the wheel? Ups and downs? Does it feel exciting and full of potential, or scary […]
The other day my sister sent me a link to an article called, “7 German Words We Should be Using in English”. She highlighted one word in particular, one that beautifully expressed a not so beautiful tendency that we both have (although I think more so ME than her). That word is “Kopfkino”. Literally, this […]
What is your hobby? When I taught English in Japan, one of the most common questions I was asked by students, Japanese friends, anyone who was brave enough to practice their fledgling English skills was “What is your hobby?”. The first time I heard this question, it sounded funny to me. I mean, we just […]

The other day, I was doing the homework for my Crystal Awakenings 102 class. This involved working with a particular crystal for one week, meditating with it, carrying it with me everywhere, and noting how it speaks to me.

I have a shamefully, or should I say, shamelessly, abundant collection of Tarot card decks. I have bought old classics, new releases, rare and out of print, and there are still so many that I would like to bring into my life. I plan to create my own someday! Even so, I usually only READ […]
A walk in the cold fires up my powers of observation… I went for a walk in the cold, cold weather today…believe me, this is not something that comes naturally to me (the cold, not the walking part). But, as I have mentioned before, when you work at home it’s really important to get yourself […]
I have to admit that I’m a little blue today. In Toronto, where I live, the current temperature is minus 30 degrees. Believe me, I’m sick of hearing myself complain about the weather here (as are my more hardy friends and family members). I always think it’s a mean trick, I mean, it’s the beginning […]
2014: The Year of the Entrepreneur? Hermit? Both? This past year has been exciting, anxiety-inspiring, busy, quiet, rewarding, nerve-wracking…this was my year of launching into the world of the entrepreneur. I have taken flying leaps outside of my comfort zone, gained confidence and skill, doubted myself, learned to trust myself again, and now as we […]
Last night I renewed my love affair with Toronto.

For last night I […]
