Friends kayaking Summer 2025

Did You Remember to Have Fun This Summer?

A gentle reminder to savour the sunny days, and say yes to joy while it lasts Since the end of last week, something shifted. I felt a little distant from my thoughts, which felt unusual… but in a good way. And instead of trying to pull them back, I just let it be. Saturday, I had a blast at a friend’s birthday. Then Wednesday came with a choice: work on my business like usual, or go kayaking with my friend Kaia. I hesitated. Part of me felt I should write something for this week. But it’s late summer, and we didn’t get the best one this year. So I asked my partner to help me decide… even though I already knew what he’d say: “Of course go...

What If Brené Brown Isn’t Right for Everyone?

Exploring why some of us don’t feel shame or guilt. And what we feel instead. I write a lot about fear. But not about guilt. Not about shame. Not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t feel them. I feel fear instead. And weirdly enough, a part of me wishes I could feel guilt or shame. Because that would mean there’s enough safety to feel reflective emotions like that. But when your system is wired for survival, fear is the default. There’s no space for “Am I a good person?”, only “Am I safe right now?” I’m writing this because knowledge is gold. And I want others who are like me to have a lightbulb moment, like I did. The day I felt guilt for the first time,...

Awareness of your news consumption Welcome to the second article in the 6-part series on “The Toll of the News on Our Mental Health.” If you missed the first article, you can find it here. Today, we dive into the foundational step of any change process: awareness. We’ll explore how becoming aware of our news consumption and its impact on our mental health is crucial for long-term habit change. While “awareness” might seem like a mundane topic, I assure you, it is perhaps the most critical step you can take. Without awareness, change is impossible. If you’re not conscious of your news consumption habits and the effects they have on your mental health, altering these patterns will be challenging. The journey towards change is beautifully illustrated in the poem...

Yesterday, I tried to get some help from ChatGPT, but it wasn’t working. The page wouldn’t load or react at all. I was using Safari, so I decided to switch to Chrome to see if I’d have better luck. And then ChatGPT greeted me with this message: "ChatGPT is at capacity right now As you read this message, please take a moment to pause and breathe. Notice the sensations in your body and the rythm of your breath...

Good luck, bad luck, who knows? Chinese proverb

Here is another share of a proverb I love, a Chinese proverb called "Good luck, bad luck, who knows"! This Chinese proverb encourages a mindset of non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of life's ever-changing circumstances. By embracing the inherent uncertainty of outcomes, we cultivate a sense of equanimity and resilience in the face of adversity or fortune. Rather than labeling events as inherently "good" or "bad," mindfulness invites us to approach each experience with curiosity and openness, recognizing that the true nature of a situation may reveal itself over time. In essence, this proverb invites us to release our attachment to rigid judgments and instead cultivate a mindset of compassionate acceptance, allowing for greater peace and harmony in our lives.   Good luck, bad luck, who knows ~ Chinese...

"The Guest House" is a profound and thought-provoking poem by the renowned Persian poet, Rumi. He compares the human experience to a guest house, where each day brings new emotions and experiences akin to different visitors arriving at the house. He urges readers to welcome these visitors—be they joy, sorrow, or pain—with open arms, viewing them as opportunities for growth and transformation. Through its evocative imagery and timeless wisdom, "The Guest House" invites readers to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions and to find meaning and beauty in every moment of life's journey.   The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd...

The Power of Saying “Hi”: Building Connections with Kids and Adults

Have you ever noticed the absence of a simple "hi" in emails or text messages? Maybe you've caught yourself skipping it a few times. It might seem like a small thing, but it can have a big impact on how we connect with others, especially our kids, but also ourselves adults. Recently, as I delve deeper into the world of parenting, I stumbled upon the concept of "collection." It's about taking a moment during transitions with our kids—like when they come home from school or switch activities (tv to dinner...

I used it last night during a workshop I gave to a group of teens and a few adults, we had a good laugh at ourselves! Video version at the bottom, Enjoy! This poem shows how we, as humans, are so slow at learning from our mistakes! Here it is: Autobiography in 5 Chapters by Portia Nelson Chapter 1 I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. Chapter 2 I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I still don't see it....
