A beautiful Jo day searching for green spaces ( in A beautiful Jo day searching for green spaces ( in #madrid), getting my sweat on, spending some quality time with my bike (in way too rugged terrain for it's leisurely mode) and just enjoying the moment... ... Even with all the uncertainty and confusion going on for me right now. If I wait for things to be perfect to find joy, it'll never arrive. So I'm making sure I find it every day, no matter what's going on. Nature makes it extra easy to see. #thanksmothernature #feelinggrateful #siestatime
Hey, long time no see 👋 I haven't posted in her Hey, long time no see 👋 I haven't posted in here in... well, a while. Like for a lot of people, for me, this year required a mega focus on self-care, and sorting out life stuff needed a lot of attention (#thankscovid). So Instagram, Facebook, and all this online world took a back seat. But now, I'm back and ready to restart creating spaces to help you explore mindfulness! Yes, very exciting, I know 🤓Stay tuned for more info! Tomorrow, I'll share details about new courses, events, and activities I'll be organizing starting very soon ✨I hope you are well, and coming out the other side of this tornado of a year stronger, more in-tuned with life, and ready to explore what this moment has for you 💚......#mindfulliving #livingmindfully #mindfulnessmadrid #mindfulmadrid #madridmeditation #mindfulness #meditacionmadrid #yogamadrid #atenciónplenamadrid #liveinthenow #liveinthepresent
Although my first book, The Trip to Your Truth, la Although my first book, The Trip to Your Truth, launched a few weeks ago, the paperback version is (annoyingly) still not ready.Sorry!After working as an editor for over 4 years, I know how important it is to have a look at a physical copy of the book before making it available to the world. And due to Covid, it took waaaaay longer than expected to ship a copy to Canada. And once it got there, there was a problem. Can you see it in the video? Spot it to win! (winners only get bragging rights 🤷🏻)Now that I'm back in Madrid, I'm hoping to get this sorted out soon. But considering how long it took to get an author copy last time, who knows? Stay tuned for more info.Until then, this situation is helping me practice patience, acceptance of what is, and forgiveness (to myself for not planning for such a delay). Well, c'est la vie!E-versions available.

Today, I leave home to head back to my other home. Today, I leave home to head back to my other home. I know, it's confusing because I call them both home, but they both feel like home. Not sure what else to call them 🤷🏻‍♀️This has been one of the most rejuvenating visits home I've had. I needed time for stillness, for reflection, for connection, for self care, and it gave it all to me. I felt uplifted and cared for by my fav people here (kept to a minimum - #thankscovid). But nature played a big role in filling me back up with gooey warmness inside and even leaving space for my sadness, madness, annoyance and all the other inner stuff that I had packed up with me for the visit. For me, that's part of what makes nature a perfect escape for "hard times". It allows space for everything to be felt, and let go! And in Canadian wilderness, the offered space is vast, dense, pristine, and its transformation is so drastic. This helps me normalize my own change. Not only did my green heart get filled back up during this visit, but it grew even bigger 💚💚💚Nature is my north. It's what keeps me oriented, so that I can always get home (this time im talking about the home inside myself). How many places do you call home?#changeisgood #fallvibes #transformationjourney #transformation #impermanence #embracechange #changeitup #thingschange #letitflow #letthingsflow #falltransformation #movethroughlife #inspiredbynature #natureismynorth #natureismyinspiration #naturelover #thingschange #acceptance #acceptwhatis #transformation #changingseasons #changing #newdirections #intransformation #thingsarechanging #choosingmyway #myway #findingmyway #findingmypath #nothingispermanent #natureismynorth
While moving through phases of change sometimes I While moving through phases of changesometimes I'm sad or confusedother times I'm overwhelmed with what's to comeand often I'm happy, excited, and looking forward to the road ahead.Like in "regular phases" of life, all the emotions are around.I'm just experiencing the impermanence of them all at a much quicker rate. Phases of transitions are beautiful, hard, and normal parts of life. The more we can embrace all the elements they include, the less hard it is to go through them.Leaves would never resist turning bright red and falling off the tree 🍁 That's the reality of their journey.

The trip to my truth always includes nature. The The trip to my truth always includes nature.The colours, the sounds, the wind automatically bring me back to the now, remind me how connected we are and how insignificant the BS I'm dramatizing about is. Being in wilderness helps me find acceptance for what is. Another common stopover for me on this trip is solo time, doing hobbies, meditating, or just reflecting (on inner stuff or on life).

Sometimes, off-road is the only way to go... ... Sometimes, off-road is the only way to go... ... in life, in travel, and especially while exploring in a four-wheel drive. As van Gogh said:“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”I like to wander where the wild flowers grow. It's usually muddy, hard to get to, and filled with flies, but the adventure has a tastier flavour.

Today is day #2 of our masterclass Creating Travel Today is day #2 of our masterclass Creating Travel-Less Bliss. If travel is usually the place you go to disconnect from the fast pace of life, find joy, peace, and fulfillment, and really tap into the beauty of life, this pandemic might be hitting you extra hard. And it looks like it might be a while before we can go back to our regular wandering ways. So, there's no sense in waiting until then to find more sustainble, constant sources of bliss.

What will you do today to nourish your body, mind What will you do today to nourish your body, mind and soul? Or is it just one part of you that'll get the focus today. If so, which part? The brain already gets Monday through Friday, does it get Sunday too?In the last few years, I've tried to bring my body and soul connections into my weekdays so that most days have space for all the different parts of me. But Sundays get a special kind of dedication to the deeper, more inner parts of myself. .............#sundayvibes #sundayinspiration #sundayfeels #sundayvibe #sundaymood☀️ #sundaysesh #soulsunday #selfcaresunday #soulday #soulconnection #soulpath #soulawakening #souljourney #soulpower #soulsearching #innerwisdom #innerguidance #innerbeing #innergrowth #innerjourney #innerhealing #innertruth #innerself #innerbliss #innerworld #innerspace #inwardjounrney #travelinwards #exploreinside #innerworld
How do you create bliss when travel isn't an optio How do you create bliss when travel isn't an option? One of my ways is nature, especially a foggy-sunny morning by the river. But some days, those aren't available. So, I need to go inwards. Tell me about your bliss creating activities and strategies. Are they external, like travel and gorgeous blissful mornings, or are they internal?If you'd like to explore this subject more, I'll be hosting a FREE masterclass all about Creating Travel-Less Bliss.
