Fresh start
I welcomed this new year in hope. I know the world we are living in is seemingly daunting and most people are doing their best to get by. I wanted to promise myself one thing for this new year. In 2021 I will be ringing it in to host a new wellness ideal for myself and to possibly inspire others too. In 2021 I will welcome a new outlook on life and health. I will be starting to pay for my doctor's visits while living here in Canada. Why you might ask? To be frank and endearing; it is to harness my health issues and to find an honest doctor. You see I have struggled with finding a good doctor who is truly honest and will listen to concerns. So I looked into a completely different idea in its own based off of curiosity. I now have an Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in whole-self health. Mind, body and spirit connection to living a fulfilled lifestyle. I have had struggled with health issues in my not so far past that left me with no answers. So I decided to look into using herbal remedies to supplement the body’s natural processes. I will also be exercising more and literally attacking the idea of it in a fun way. I will be using a virtual reality headset to learn how to box and really grab exercise by the horns so to speak. Enough about the physical though. Mentally I will continuously embark on feeding my mind with healthy thoughts and affirmations. I use to feed it poison with hate speech and attack myself on the daily which spiraled into a vicious circle that would only make my mental health dwindle by the hour. To give my mind the medicine that it needs to grow stronger every day and build a health self-talk and lingo. To feed my mind with knowledge and help it grow sharp and rigid like a sword. Now spiritually is where a lot of others may not agree but I feel it is the most needed personally. The spiritual side will be filled with nature hikes and practicing Indigenous Culture & Ceremonies. This beautiful side of my heritage has proven to help me feel whole and fulfilled. Practicing smudge in my own home and sharing this with my children is something that I am proud to now know. I have journeyed from my lands in Nova Scotia to Alberta and have been blessed to meet Elder's and truly beautiful people to help build my knowledge of practice and be able to share with my family back home. Beyond will only tell in time where my journey will take me but I feel like I have finally found my path. My running shoes are on to embrace the journey ahead instead of hide in fear. My hopes and aspirations are flickering bright like a camp fire in the night. I know that my path is filled with rocks that may cause me to trip and even fall but I am motivated to keep pressing on. I envision my beyond in years to come to house successes like promotions at my job or even as great as being able to teach and help in Cultural Ceremonies while on the Sacred Land. To be able to help others embrace this beautiful Culture and find joy and peace in it as I do. My path has always been in the direction to help others and I will bring the well-rounded health and wellness that I practice to the table and teach others whenever the opportunity is granted!

The Art of Healing ❤️
A New Year always brings in fresh motivation and energy. We often see the change in calendar as an opportunity to set new goals for ourselves (or reinstate long forgotten plans from years past..before work, kids, and a worldwide pandemic set in). We tell ourselves that this will be the year. The year we see 365 sunrises and sunsets. The year we achieve our fittest ever beach body and glossy magazine cover skin. We throw away all the sugar from the cupboards, determined we no longer need it in our lives. Gym equipment is purchased and gym memberships soar (prior to COVID-19 January is the busiest month for any gym). We make ourselves endless promises that we hope not to break. Sometimes we convince ourselves that we will succeed, other times that little voice inside our head tells us it's only a matter of time before we go back to our 'old ways'. Some of us have very encouraging friends, some of us have the 'friends' that resent us trying to better ourselves (you know the ones, those who fear that if you give up your shared vice, they will have to also face their overindulgences). Some of us are completely alone, scared to better ourselves because it may harm the few connections that we do have. I know I smoked for 12 years longer than I should have for this very reason.

Perfectly Imperfect
This article states tarot/oracle but I hope that the exercises can be useful for any chosen divination method. People get their decks from many different places, sometimes they are a gift, sometimes they yell at you from the store shelves. All forms are valid, I have no desire to gatekeep how you acquire your divination tools. As Scott Cunningham said: “Do what feels right.”

Apartment 413
January 25, 2021 It is a new year, and I don’t think I have written since the start of 2021. It is only January and look what the year has brought me. I was out pretty much since week 1 due to COVID. Yes, I could have written but I was out emotionally too. Not only was my body overwhelmed with sickness and fighting to recuperate, but my mind was also waging a war against anxiety at the same time. Not to share “TMI-too much info” but I also started my period straight away from coming out of being sick for two weeks, talk about energy depletion. Not only was my body tired but by the end of my isolation so was my mind. So, since I got COVID-19 I didn’t work for the past two weeks and a half and I also didn’t have the mental strength to sit down and type out a blog in completion. What better day to start again than the day I am back to work?

Crushed Cans
The hind of his heavy-duty, well-worn work boots swiftly crushed the can of bud light he so carefully placed on the ground. It sounded like a lays bag being crumbled. From the way in which each corner was decorated with crushed cans, I could tell he got a kick out of both drinking and destroying his stress-reliever. What he didn't get a kick out of was, "kicking carpet". On the job, he was focused and fueled to get the job done, yet his mind always seemed adrift. Focused and adrift. What planted this paradox in his character? I watched him intently, wondering what he was trying to drink away. The shush-crack-pop of a can in his hands caught my attention as he opened yet another bud light. It was calming, the coo of the can.
