Dear Ones, I think a lot about what women have experienced in our lives and the evolution of our rights. I am grateful to be raised by women who were laborers, carpenters, seamstresses, potters…even plumbers. My mom Caron used to brag that her mother Eden could plumb a whole house and shoe a horse lol. She could also fix most machines, made our clothing and could feed us from her garden. I think a...

The reason you hesitate or Will not say yes to the call? Callings come with a bump Th...

Good morning to you 🌈☀️💧 The spontaneous spoken word of this episode is inspired by a quote from my mother, Caron McCloud!

Dear Ones ~ What is your relationship with time, rest and renewal? I am sharing my practice that I have worked with since my early twenties about chosen and bracketed rest. As well as I work with painting in relationship to this choice. I also share the qualities of FLOW that can be chosen. And how I sometimes move between the computer and the easel - there is goodness to share with you here. If y...

Dear Ones, Every day of our relationship since 2013 Jonathan and I have Cafe’. Cafe conversation is what happens at Tea with the Muse and I learned it from Sue Hoya Sellars.

Dear One,  My mother Caron offered a gift to almost everyone she could. Her level of appreciation for beauty of every kind, let me tell you, was astonishing. And so I was raised by a woman who saw beauty in everything and called it out. We would be walking down the street and her entire face would break out into joy as she saw different people and places and things, and exclaimed “How beautiful yo...

Dear Ones, I know that I am one of the people in your life that ‘rains on your parade’ through asking you to keep questioning the norms. I hope I provide sufficient encouragement and creativity to balance out the times I ask you to pay attention and labour towards justice. I am not apologizing, I am acknowledging. As a community and those of you who are listeners here, I want us to be as awake as...

Dear Ones, This is my wedding to Jonathan in 2014 in the Cathedral of my Ancestors. A most glorious day and I am so grateful that three of my four parents were with us! Having them leave the physical form on the planet and enter the realm of the ancestors, has been such a journey of grief, and acceptance. And also immense gratitude, because they all taught me so much. They shaped me in immeasurabl...
