International Peace Sunday
What does peace mean to you? What would be your vision of peace for the world? And if that vision seems too out of reach at the moment, try breaking it down. Take a moment to consider if you could do one thing today to make someone else feel better, what would you do? If you have a child in your life, ask them this question, and let their wisdom surprise you!
Fall Gratitude
Fall Gratitude
October is one of my favourite months! In my time of healing I have been enjoying a nightly walk, watching the season slowly transition. I love the colours, I love the easy temperatures: the sunny days and crisp nights. Not to mention, there’s two of my favourite holidays in the same month: Thanksgiving and Halloween!
So Many Feelings!
So Many Feelings!
This is the season when we often hold many opposing feelings at the same time: excitement about a new year, but also anxiety about the next challenges; joy to reconnect with school friends, but also sadness to leave summer connections behind; pride about new milestones, but also worry about new responsibilities. You’re not alone in this whirlwind of feelings.
