How Do You Show Up In The Small Moments Of Your Life?

How Do You Show Up In The Small Moments Of Your Life?

Mother Theresa said, "We can do no great things, just small things with great love." I love this quote as it is a reminder to be intentional about how we show up in our life day to day, minute by minute. While the significant things we do for others are always appreciated, it is most often the small, seemingly insignificant things we offer that have the biggest impact. When […]

Testimonial

Several months ago before my journey with Marg began, it was feeling very limited about where my life was headed, specifically career wise. I had put myself in a box thinking that there was only one direction I could go and I wasn't good enough to try anything else. Marg has helped me realize that my strengths, abilities and skills are far greater than I was allowing them to […]

Taming Your Worry Gremlin

Taming Your Worry Gremlin

I am up early this morning and aware of the "worry" on my mind. Rather than drift peacefully back to sleep which is what I would choose, I can feel myself pondering the topics ruminating in my thoughts. Did our new grandson finally poop after one full week of not going despite being breastfed? How did our young grandson and daughter in law sleep after having their flu vaccine […]

Waiting – Sometimes Easy and Sometimes Very Difficult!

Waiting – Sometimes Easy and Sometimes Very Difficult!

Today I am in the space of waiting - waiting to welcome a precious new grandchild into the world. Patience isn't my best virtue so this "waiting" has led me on a curious exploration of this topic. As I reflect on other places of waiting in my life, I can see that sometimes the experience was easy and sometimes hopelessly difficult. In some situations I was able to do my […]

Live Your Potential

Live Your Potential

Are you living your full potential? Are you supporting your kids to do the same? Do you have a dream or a vision that you are actively pursuing? Are you taking the steps you need to maneuver around the obstacles that are getting in your way so you thrive in your life rather than exist? Are you supporting your kids to do the same? As we watched our son cross […]

Nourishing Healthy Hope

Nourishing Healthy Hope

HOPE is absolutely my favourite word and favourite topic! Where do we find it when we are lost? How can we nourish it in times of adversity? How do we support others to find it? Wendy Schlessel Harpham is a physician, a cancer patient and a healthy survivor of her disease. She has written multiple books related to her cancer journey and has some very inspiring things to say […]

Nurturing Buoyancy As A Caregiver

Nurturing Buoyancy As A Caregiver

We all know what we "should" do when we find ourselves overwhelmed and overtired in a role where we are asked to care for someone else. Whether we are an overworked mother or a husband caring for a wife with Parkinson's disease, the challenges are similar. Our friends and family happily remind us that we need to care for ourselves and ask for help but we often feel irritated […]

Video Honouring Caregivers

Video Honouring Caregivers

Caregivers are the silent voice in many families. They often work until they are exhausted to offer the very best they can to the ones they love. Research shows that the incidence of illness is over 50% greater in people who give up a significant amount of their time and energy to care for someone else. While lovingly caring for those who can't care for themselves is a wonderful gift, […]

Loving Kindness For Ourselves

Loving Kindness For Ourselves

Today is my very first posting on my new blog! It is also the beginning of a more unified vision for my business that more closely reflects what I do and what I want to do. A marketing book I read asked the question, "What are you selling" and, after much reflection, I decided what I wanted to sell was HOPE. Not the kind of HOPE that makes us […]

Adversity: Living With What Is While Hoping For More

Adversity: Living With What Is While Hoping For More

It is now August 5, 2009 and it has been 6 months since I made my first posting on my new blog. The reason for this time lapse has been my own health. Despite all my diet knowledge and my commitment to a healthy lifestyle, an ecoli infection I had over 20 years ago came back with vengeance to make my life challenging. The auto immune disease that resulted […]
