How are you doing?  2020 has been an interesting year, wouldn't you agree?

I did something this year that I thought that I would never do.

I signed up for a group coaching membership.  Yep, I did.  The past few years have been difficult and I have really been struggling with trying to figure it all out.  So I had to try something.  And in my typical fashion I had to do something that was somewhat anonymous.  The group is big enough that you can attend and not be seen, but you get all of the teaching.  And this works perfectly for me, and I have been learning a lot.  I am so thankful that I put aside my preconceived ideals and make this investment in myself.  

What could have been a very difficult year - that continued to spiral downward, has become a year of healing that I am so thankful for.

​Are you taking time to invest in you?  It is really important that you do.  I carried some baggage around for far too long, and I wasn't taking care of my health - I just kind of let everything go.  This is not a good place to live your life.

Making active choices to live intentionally is where we all need to be.

I have made a variety of changes in my life and part of it includes the environment that I live in and how I start my day.  I am going to share a bit of that with you.

I have been following Yoga with Adriene on YouTube for years.  I am not a big fan of public displays of exercise, I like the comfort of my own home.  I start my diffuser with a relaxing scent, play some relaxing music (which for me is jazz), lay down my yoga mat and spend 30 minutes relaxing and stretching.  It is an amazing way to start my day. 

​Now that I am working from home I have more time in the mornings because I no longer have the commute.  Yoga helps clear my mind, stretches out the muscles that ache from the night (which seem to be increasing year by year) and gets me motivated to take on my day!

Yoga for Writers is a favourite of mine.  I like the stretching with a little bit of core.

king the time to invest in my mental wellness has so important.  

I created the My Journey journal years ago and it keeps evolving and become something that is a huge part of my life.  It is my weekly check in with myself and has become a place where I can see my journey unfold and give myself more grace in my journey.

2020 is year that I will always remember and I am thankful that I used this time as a positive experience.  It is so easy to get sucked into a negative environment - and it happens.  But you don't have to stay there.  You get to choose, I really hope that you will join me as we choose to end 2020 well.

I am excited to take you on a journey on how to begin a weekly journal practice.

Journaling is about writing down your thoughts, feelings, memories, goals, and desires. It explores who you are, what you think and how you feel. Your written word allows you to get to know your true self.

The workshop will be held: Friday, November 15th, 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Perfect Balance Yoga, in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Cost for the workshop is $50 which will include a journal.

This will be an intimate gathering, which will limit registrations.

I have been traveling around and teaching journaling workshops - some would describe it more as a party.  However you look at it - it is fun!

It is an afternoon of learn new things about yourself, scripture, fellowship worship and food!  The number 1 response I have received about the "My Journey" journal is that they wished they would have started it years ago. 

No need to run away to a cafe in Paris (unless you really want to), the "My Journey" journal is a great place to start to get who you have been created to be and why you have been created for such a time as this.

I recently traveled to a community to lead a workshop and it was my favorite one so far!  Why?  Because it had teen girls up to Grandma's - to see the generations working together and getting to know each other was a beautiful sight!!!!  Seriously my heart exploded seeing all the open Bibles, pens and pencil crayons creating beautiful and washi tape being unrolled by the yard.  Some were creative, some were not :)  but everyone was getting involved and having a wonderful time.

The group of attendees from the church already decided to meet once a month to continue on the practice of "My Journey" journal and Bible Journaling.  My heart was so filled with joy and the smile on my face lasted the long drive home.

This event was also a great opportunity for a test drive with the teen journal, and the girls really liked it from what I heard from the girls that attended.  Here is a little more information on the teen girl journal:
