CH-CH-Changes
While change can be good for the soul, many people resist!
When people resist change, it often means they are already happy in the moment. They ask, “Why change?” They like the age of their kids, they like their time together, and (bonus) the in-laws live two hours away! To sum it up, the balance in their life seems to be working for now, and there is no reason to change!
As we know,…
The ABC’S of Christmas
It was a few years back, just after we’d moved from southern Ontario to Vancouver BC., when my husband Stephen and I looked at each other with total exasperation. The topic of Xmas had been placed on the table. Sigh…
The boys were grown and had moved along. One was in South America doing his own thing with a group of artists and the other had left for Australia to find work. There wasn’t even a…
Music and Vibration to Relax
Is the traffic getting worse; or is it my imagination? Do you experience a time-warp every time you get on the computer? Is there any leftover time to sort mail, do laundry, shop for groceries and gas up the car?
So often, we get stuck in a rut and can’t find our way out!
You are not alone! I’ve talked with many friends, family and clients in different stages of life; they all get ‘stuck’…
Style Your Home
Can You Spot the DIFFERENCE? Of course you can! A replacement dining room fixture can make, or break, the atmosphere!
PIC ONE: The existing lighting fixture had 8 light bulbs, and yet, the lights were not directed anywhere; their glow dispersed everywhere. Extra metal loops and curves distracted attention from neighboring artwork and collectibles.
PIC TWO: This lighting fixture has similar components, yet only 5 light bulbs. These bulbs are ‘protected’ by 60 small,…
On past vacations, we’ve traveled south to find the sun, but we never realized so many interesting things happen ON THE EQUATOR.
I don’t think I have to explain the equator is the ‘belt’ of the globe, the middle of the earth, where the sun rises and sets at the same time ALL YEAR ROUND!
I thought I’d share a few ‘weird and wonderful things’ about life on the equator. Each experience in life, each journey, and each conversation can…
‘Spindle City’ is the nick-name I gave to my new cottage-home.
Yep, a solid, 1982 two-story home with tons of room for my stuff -and spindles on every floor! There are oak spindles everywhere: the porch, two decks, a dock, a two-story staircase, a cat-walk overhead and all around a sunken living room!
What were we thinking?
We were hunting for the ‘right place’ for almost 2 years; what we found was that newer homes had smaller properties. Years ago…
Have you fallen for the ‘ol -‘BUY TWO and SAVE’?
That’s OK, I’m guilty too!
The problem is, what do you do with the extra item(s)?
Marketing and retail competition is cluttering up our homes and lives! LOL! Really!
Q: Can we resist an ‘extra’ bag of nachos? – Just in case the kids bring their friends over.
Q: Can we resist a giant case – cans of tuna fish? What about salsa? And, other foods?
Q: Where do you…
The morning after a move is a bit overwhelming!
A few comments about our move this summer:
Change.
Life is continually changing. Taking control of one’s life to move across the country, a new job and new neighbors takes courage and confidence. These changes can be overwhelming for many, so I’ve heard from many of you. If you jump too early, due to frustration and emotional toil, you will bring all your troubles/burdens along with you.
One piece of…
Ask Kathryn: Today we have a dialogue to answer a question as, more clarify is needed.
Q: Hi Kathryn, I would like to know in my bedroom, my spiritual setup is
in the far right corner (northwest corner facing the east). Is this a
good spot? Belle
A: Hi Bellel! Good to hear from you!
Before I answer your question, I have a few questions!
1 what is the purpose of enhancing a spiritual area in you bedroom?

REAL LIFE CASES; PEDEGO ELECTRIC BIKE SHOP
THE CALL: Ann MacLennan (her real name) called me for a specific reason: She had decided her next chapter in life was to be a Retail Store Owner. Ann procured a Dealership Agreement with PEDEGO Electric Bikes, found a location in Vancouver, did the research for her specialty project and now needed my help to open shop. She had guidelines and a logo from the Head Office; yet unsure of colour schemes,…
