Writing, and creating keep me sane, mostly..

Food obsessed, and wine consumed, regularly..

Our household is currently ruled by 3 bad ass fur turds, Finneus Oisin the Irish Wolfhound, two rescues, Princess Ayva, and Asshole Abby. They have officially assumed the roles of our children.

Totally passionate about most things indulgent:

I have been known to exaggerate. . (That was an under exaggeration)

Some Essential Soul Work

Some Essential Soul Work

This retreat was a first of it’s kind for me.

Guided healing, cleansing and sharing, (not so good at this kind of stuff). Emotionally exposing ones self, and getting into some deep rooted soul work, also something i truly suck at.

I laughed, I cried, and I opened up to women I just met. It was terrifying, humbling, and liberating all at the same time.

Marilyn, the facilitator of this healing retreat, created such a loving safe space for us to to all come together and dive into some soul work

She is also the owner and operator of her business Soul Essentials offering healing modalities from Reiki to chakra healing. Here is her link on Facebook

The retreat was held at this stunning 2 storey walk out over looking Echo lake in Qu’Appelle Valley.

Kitchen in our private little cabin

My good friend Rox and I decided to rent a private cabin for our weekend stay. We arrived the day before all the festivities. It was a short drive from the retreat location, and gave us some quiet time away from all the action to regroup and just do our own thing.

Because i’m rarely in front of a camera , here are some cell phone snaps below ~

A little wine, and a sunset dip.
