The spiritual path is not one of attainment, but of return.

The morning sunrise at Parksville, BC on March 29, 2022. Later on this same day, I boarded a plane for Calgary to assist my family. When I decided to book this trip, I vowed to bring only love and light to the situation. However, on the morning of my departure (while walking on this boardwalk), I realized that for true healing to occur I would need to do more than just bring light and love - I would need to return to love and light. I would need to return to my center.
Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.
- Buddha
Dear Wise Women,
Welcome back!
So much has transpired since we last gathered! Spring has officially arrived and, with it, the emergence of more light and new growth. Yet amidst the blossoms and birdsong, we continue to witness destruction, division and suffering.
The call to stand in the middle appears to be getting louder. The need for each of us to stand in the light and hold the opposites appears to be increasing.
Can we experience despair and choose hope? Can we feel fear and choose love? Can we see darkness and bring light? Can we return to the essence of who we truly are? I believe we can.
Although you appear in earthly form
Your essence is pure Consciousness.
You are the fearless guardian
of Divine Light.
So come, return to the root of the root
of your own soul.
- Rumi
Over and over again, no matter how far off we have veered, we can always choose to return to the stillness within that contains infinite healing power. In every moment and with every opportunity, we can always return to our center.
And, so when I returned home and I came face to face with both familiar and new challenges, I remained steadfast on my commitment to return, over and over again, to my center…to access the Source of love that I came from and that I will return to.
And from here, I was able to extend a new level of love to my family, and I was able to hold darkness in a way that I have never held before…and the healing I witnessed can only be described as magic!
As one of our our beloved wise women said so eloquently,
“When darkness is shared and held in a loving environment with the intention to heal, I really believe it can't help but dissolve and return to the light. LOVE, it seems, is the ultimate solvent.”

The evening sunset on a country road between Indus and Strathmore, AB on March 29, 2022.
While driving with my dad from his house to my mom’s house, I asked him to pull over so that I could capture a photo of this magnificent sunset. The magic of having my day begin with an orange glow on the coast and end with an orange glow on the prairies most certainly was not lost on me.
The light, it seems, was determined to show me the way!
You have to give yourself permission to take up the space you need in this life.
To say no even when it’s easier to say yes. And to say yes when it’s more comfortable to say no.
To not doubt yourself and the way your body communicates what is best for you.
To trust that sometimes the timing feels like swimming upstream, or letting others down, or breaking a belief that’s held you protectively for years for something bigger that’s calling you.
To love who you love in ways that feel soothing and safe or wild and intoxicating, for your soul is always guiding you to growth through your willingness to experience.
To feel at ease with knowing when it’s time to talk and let the words spill forth from your honest heart.
And when it’s time to listen and let your presence be a well of nourishment and wisdom for the confessions of those who seek your sanctuary.
And to allow when its time to nestle into the silence and find peace in the stillness that lives there.
You’re unfolding into a galaxy of treasures that have laid quietly sleeping within you, waiting for this season of awakened activation.
This day is laced with precious moments to observe your worthiness. It will mirror back miracles of your being if you let it show you the way.
May you cross the bridge that releases you from your past to discover the wholeness and peace of your present.
May you release the confusion to welcome clarity of mind and purpose of soul.
May you hold your heart gently and your vision thoughtfully.
May you transcend your own limitations and set yourself free from the illusions that hold you back.
May you liberate yourself from the projection of others so you may find your true voice.
May you learn soulfully and be educated mindfully by energies that progress you lovingly.
May you trust in yourself as you evolve, expand and awaken to more.
