👁TO SEE & BE SEEN👁

I has the privilege of joining an Indigenous Full Moon Ceremony last night. As a blessing was sung over the water in our cups, we turned to the 4 directions and connected to the 4 elements - Mother Earth underneath our feet, Father Sky & the wind rustling through the trees, the river water flowing beside us and the fire dancing in the middle of the circle.

I've been a part of many circles over this past year from attending a meditation retreat at a Buddhist Monastery to all the retreats & workshops I've offered; from my 200-hour cohort to Sacred Voice training via Zoom, connecting us from all parts of the globe.

As each person in the circle shared about what they wanted to let go of last night, tears rolled down my cheeks. It was raw & vulnerable to share openly while the rest of the circle witnessed the pain.

I looked down at my lap to see that the drum I was invited to bring had an eye staring back at me. To be honest, I keep encountering eyes all over the place lately. A pickup passed my car the other day and what was the picture in its back window but 2 huge eyes looking back at me!

As a kid, I used to wake up with my eyes glued shut with puss. Though not to the same extent, this started happening about 2 months ago. I've been reflecting on what I'm not seeing or what I don't want to look at.

Yesterday's circle reminded me that, at the end of the day, we all want to be seen, just as we are. And the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to see ourselves for who we truly are. 🙏

We celebrated Hunter's birthday yesterday closer to home with a walk on the Morden Wood Chip Trail (so thankful for the shade of the trees on a crazy hot & humid day!) and puppucinos at our favorite !

HUNTER IS 6! 🎉

Sometimes it's hard to live in your big sister's shadow but Hunter has taught me just as much as Izzy though in an entirely different way. Hunter lives life large and says exactly what she needs to when she needs to and then she goes to bed in peace!

She is the energy gauge and if I watch her carefully, she tells me exactly what's happening in a room and who the good eggs are! If you have ever received a belly rub request from her, you know that she holds you in HIGH standing!

Hunter is my warrior girl! Her energy is unlimited and she never ceases to inspire me. And today we celebrate her beautiful spirit & fire!

Again, sharing these beautiful pictures by .photographer from last summer at the Morden Wood Chip Trail. We're heading there again today for a walk in the trees!

Today marks 1 year since the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training journey began with an information Zoom call with & . And what a journey it was!

There is a 10 year anniversary just down the road as well. On June 22, 2016, I decided to step away from the 200-hour YTT I was currently taking. I was 70% finished with 3 training weekends remaining.

I used the money that I saved on those final 3 weekends plus the insurance buyout on my car thanks to a hailstorm to purchase my first props, design a logo, website & business cards and get pictures taken so I could launch become-yoga that October.

And though part of me really wanted to finish the 200-hour YTT, I continued to offer classes with the other certification I had and try to build my business. Despite a slow start, Rob's death and COVID, become-yoga carried on.

When I met Barrie in January of 2020 on her Evolving Your Yoga book tour, I'm sure somewhere in the back of my mind I wished for the opportunity to study under her leadership. Her book changed my life and is a significant cairn on my grief journey as it marked the months just before & after Rob's death.

I was enjoying a free series Barrie was offering last May and when I looked back in my journal, I had written about how great it would be to take the 200-hour YTT she was starting to advertise. But how would that work from Montreal?

I reserved my spot for the information session to let the Divine know that I was interested. As Barrie & Anne were talking, I quickly realized that I had not really thought about the time commitment, especially around teaching my own classes, going to markets and offering Reiki (plus my dogs and all of life's regular tasks to boot!). They suggested coming to Montreal for both 5 day stretches (August & January) and our final weekend together. I could Zoom in on weekend trainings and we would all Zoom in for Tuesday meetings. Somehow, all the plans I had already made for the rest of 2025 did not conflict and the rest of the story is history!

To say that I am proud of myself & what I accomplished these past 9 months is an understatement! Some dreams just take a little longer to arrive 🙏

Today officially marks the end of the Spring 2026 Term and the 2025-2026 Yoga year...I have no idea how I got here!?!

Getting through this year teaching a full week of yoga classes with the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training on top of that (not to mention markets & Reiki!) is an amazing feat in and of itself. But I mean, how was this become-yoga's 10th year?!?

Though we will officially celebrate her 10th anniversary in October, we have gathered together class after class over the course of this past year to make her decade celebration possible! If you had told me that I would be sitting in my home studio, with Izzy & Hunter beside me, 10 years ago when I waited week after week after week before that first client arrived, I would never have believed you.

Every class this year I have opened this journal (picture #2) to read MY WORDS. I had never really shared my heart - at least not to this extent - until my 200-hour teacher encouraged me to share my own words. Not knowing how they would be received, I shared sacred space, life lessons & my truth...my inner workings & thoughts.

Barrie invited us to bring a picture or object sacred to us, representing the Divine, to our final closing ceremony. Along with this journal, I brought the Mala I made in celebration of completing the 200-hour YYT that I had walked away from a decade ago and a feather that I found on campus during our first week together in Montreal last August, making its home in my binder since then.

I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for EACH & EVERY SINGLE CLIENT I've had along the way, some practicing with me throughout all of these past 10 years! As I close the door on yet another year, I do so with great humility & gratitude for being able to do something that I love so much with such an amazing community of people!

And I can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for become-yoga! Namaste 🙏

Sacred Remembrance needed her own spot on my feed so here's more of the song versus yesterday's post (head to Instagram for the entire song). I am so thankful for this beautiful offering of Sacred Ceremony 🙏

My heart is full and there's no better way for me to describe what the Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat was like than to share an email I received this morning from someone who attended (used with permission):

"From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you again for creating the retreat and welcoming us all into your space The experience was like none other I had experienced. The vulnerability, emotions in a judgment free space was exactly what I needed to give me many insights and self seeking activities. I know now how important it is to keep doing these and stepping outside my comfort zone and allowing to be vulnerable in a safe space.

"I know that you did a lot to prepare for the event, all the little details didn’t go unnoticed and they were very much appreciated 💞.

"I hope to attend another in the future to open minds up and allowing spirit to be in our lives.

"Yoga was something that I’ve never really gotten into it not realizing how important it is to move our emotions through breath and movement. I will need to look into options to do this.

"The timing of the retreat aligned with me and I am so glad that I took that uncomfortable step of trying something new and outside my comfort zone. Your space is warm and welcoming.

"And finally, what a wave of emotions after leaving, will take some unpacking over next few days on the sessions.

"Thanks again and have yourself a great day,

"Namaste"

PS - be sure to catch the song on the last picture!

1. Izzy is a sun seeker and she started her birthday by soaking it in yesterday while I attended yoga online with my teacher .

2. After lunch we were off for my final visit with Andrea at as she's expecting twins this summer! It's so amazing to know that my nervous system has settled when the 2 of them just relax as Andrea works...it's very cool!

3. Our main stop of the birthday celebration was and it was a lovely day to walk and enjoy the forest! It's our first visit of 2026 and hopefully we'll be back soon!

4. I'm so thankful that I can bring my girls into ! Izzy especially loves crystals so I know she loves hanging out there!

5 & 6: The day ended with puppucinos from at the Forks.

IZZY IS 8! 🎉

She is my earth and has the most beautiful heart that I know! I've learned what unconditional love is because of Izzy. She came into my life at the very time I needed her and I don't think I would have survived my grief without her by my side.

I missed celebrating Izzy's birthday together with her last year as I was in Estevan so I wanted to do some special things this year which I'll post about tomorrow.

In the meantime, I realized that I hadn't shared all these beautiful pictures by .photographer from last summer at the Morden Wood Chip Trail. Izzy is so photogenic!
