Joy 😁
This is what joy looks like.
Last night @marlonikkila and I had a tea party...virtually.
She lives on the west coast of the US and I live on the east coast of Canada.
It was magical 🦄
Last week Marlo posted on FB that she wanted to connect with people for tea...regardless of where they are. This is what I love about Marlo...well one of the things i 💖 she is so open.
I was lucky to get one of the coveted tea party dates!
I met Marlo many many years ago at a Professional Organizing Conference in Boston (?) Or was it Toronto.
We became fast friends. In the last decade we have visited each other in person too.
I am blessed to have friends to laugh with, cry with to grow with and to have virtual tea dates . 👫👭

Magic
There is something magical about being in the woods with snow gently falling.
Only the sounds of nature to be heard.
Squirrels
Chickadees
Water moving gently
Crunching of snow underfoot

Connect Soulfully to yourself.
This is what we set out to do January 2019 when we launched #soulsisterconversations #podcast 🎙
I wasn't clear what that meant. I mean I know what it means, I have read it 100 different ways in so many books.
Until today it was a nice mission a pleasant thought.
Today...
I felt it in my soul. 🙏
@danamlloyd and I recorded episodes 50, 51 and 52 today and I felt it with every fiber of my being. 🧘‍♀️
I felt connected to everything....to the subjects, to my co-host Dana and OMG the guests.
So to everyone who has been a part of this amazing , sometimes challenging and fun experience of podcasting.
I thank you xo elaine

"If you change the way you look at things the things you look at change." (Wayne Dyer quote)
A few years ago this stunningly beautiful sight would have made me angry and frustrated and sad. I really did not like winter and it pissed me off in so many different ways.
Seriously!!!
So what happened?
I made peace with my reality, I live in Canada, we have four seasons and our winters are snowy and cold.
So with some help from @eckharttolle @byron.katie Sean from @riverandtrail and this thing called #hygge I changed my mindset, my relationship with winter changed for the good.
So now I see ALL the beauty of this season. Did you know that there are over 50 terms to describe snow ❄❄ How cool 😏 is that.

Responding naturally to the flow of life.🙏
Human design is speaking my language.📖
Having moved through my #secondact and nailing down my highest point of contribution....being a Mom👩‍👦‍👦 and raising three amazing humans...it is now time for me to shift my focus. 😀
As I move into the #thirdact of life I have been searching for where my highest point of contribution lies and this interesting "user manual" for life shows up.🕯✴
Back in August @marlonikkila brought it to my attention and it just wasn't the right time and then recently @iamdhavita mentioned it. This time I was paying attention and it grabbed me...with both hands.
It appears that I am a Manifesting Generator, this sounds about right. What is most interesting is how you can use this tool to help define your contribution and how to be of service through this contribution.
I am loving how when I am well rested, well fed, and feeling the love within me and around me I can pay attention!

Ok Igrammers as a newby I have questions!
Are you aware of Human Design?
What is your type?
Favourite resources????
Please share what you got 💖

"When you are tuned in the synchronicities line up"
Dana mentioned several months ago that it would be great to have a conversation about sex and intimacy on our #soulsisterconversations #podcast ... being a master manifester it was only a matter of time.
@danalloyd_leadership and I met @DrGaylefriend this fall at the @elizabeth_gilbert_writer @soultribelive event in Halifax.
This is a lively and informative conversation and I appreciate Dr Gayle's knowledge on Sex, Intimacy and Spirituality.

To study...
"the activity of examining a subject in detail in order to discover new information."
This is not the kind of study that I did in school.
School for me was a game...do the least amount of work to have more time to play. I did not study, I memorized and it helped that I have photographic memory. It was all about the game.
To study has a whole new meaning for me now.
I get jazzed when I discover a new idea and there is nothing I love more than getting to share ideas, to ruminate over ideas and see how these ideas change my world view.
When it comes to study I went from I have to, to, I want to, and now I get to study.
This is what I am currently interested in and studying this year.
Would love to connect with like minded curious readers.

it's time elaine.
This was the message I heard this morning deep in my soul. ✴
I wish I could share all the signs of grace from the past three months...right now in this moment. 🙏
It is pure magic, or as my friend @elizabeth_gilbert_writer says #bigmagic.
It feels like a dream to me and I am just beginning to feel the magnitude of what I call the #thirdact download.
A friend said it was like I went up in the #akashic records and pulled out this big book. I agree with her. 📖
From my heart to yours the words are on their way. 💖

"Becoming an Essentialist means making cutting, condensing, and correcting a natural part of our daily routine - making editing a natural cadence in our lives." From the book #essentialism by @gregorymckeown 📖
As I am rereading this life changing book I am feeling the need to edit what I call my office stuff. 📦
I have moved the stuff more times than I can count in the last 20 years... as we change how we use the spaces in our home I get a new office space.
Kids needed a playroom, I move my office. Bedroom changes, I move my office. 🏠
For the past year I have been working out of one of the bedrooms however when the offspring are home I lose my space.
I actually like working at our kitchen table.
So here I move again...but this time before I commit to keeping any of the office stuff it needs to serve a purpose for my work (coaching, writing and producing) and if I haven't used it in the past 6 months it is going.
Wish me luck...I feel some sentimental attachments are going to have to be cut!

The nest was full and now it is empty 😀😂 .... I am happy and sad.
We are back to our regular scheduled program!!!!
I have to admit I was feeling anxious with everyone coming home to our much smaller space. 🏠
Since the #rightsizing adventure we now have 3 bedrooms and 5 people, so that meant sharing sleeping spaces.
We are down 1200 square feet to be exact. This also means we went from three family seating areas to one!!!
With some post holiday conversations we were all pleasantly surprised about how peaceful and enjoyable this three weeks of being together went.👨‍👦‍👦👩‍👧
How the hell did we pull it off?
Meditation...yep meditation was the reason.🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️
I started a daily practice on November 1st and every day for 20 minutes I am silent. Eyes closed, hands in prayer position, silent.
So for 3 weeks, I was calm, I did not freak out by the state of the bedrooms(they looked and smelled like dorm rooms) and the constantly messy kitchen(glasses by the sink and crumbs all over the counters) and people coming and going at all hours.
I maintained my own inner peace...with the exception of my small teary moment New Years day...I am attributing this to being overtired from a late New Years eve. 🕛
I am in awe of how this daily practice is changing me and how it impacts those around me. 🙏🧘‍♀️
💖💖 even more interesting is the card I pulled today. See my story, I love these signs of grace.

making life easy....what a concept!!!
This is the first book for 2020 and it is amazing. 📖
I am a big @drchristianenorthrup fan and I consider her a mentor.
She has helped me through some of the biggies in life....most recently the transition through menopause.
This book resonated with me and how I have been living my life. From astrology to tarot, nature and most importantly finding my soul family. ♉✴
To Gather in the woods near a special tree on the winter solstice with an amazing group of people who I felt so at home with...It was magical!!!!🌳
Drumming and singing and dancing in a ceremony. "That which you are seeking is also seeking you". I have been playing on the edges of this way of being for so long and am grateful to Christiane for the inspiration to help me to fully embrace who I am and what brings me joy.
If you are dancing on the fringe of a life you are wanting I would love to connect. 💖🙋‍♀️ elaine

I get to podcast...what a concept.
Shifting from "I have to"
to
"I want to"
to
"I GET to"
has been liberating for me in so many ways.
It brings awareness to how I spend my time and energy and what I bring to the activities I engage in.
It is a level of gratitude for life that feels new and fresh and foreign...and I like it!
Enjoy the first Soul Sister Conversations - The Podcast episode of 2020.
The link for the podcast is in the BIO.
Again...I am thrilled that I get to podcast with my friend and mentor Dana!

Life is a blank canvas! 🖌
It was so much fun with @jillshannon3 here for the holidays.🎄
She is always up for a project when she is in the hood. 👭
It has been over a year since we started the process to #rightsize our home and I am now getting down to the last few boxes of stuff(yeah) and I needed her help.📦
I wanted to have all of our random family pictures in one place and this hallway wall was the best place to do that....and the only place.
With half the living space we had, there are only so many walls for pictures.
Wow...just wow!!!! 💖💖
Jill said it is more than just hanging pictures, we need to tell a story. The story of our family.👫👩‍👦‍👦
We gathered what we had, searched through boxes of pictures to fill in spots and made a trip to the second hand store for some frames.
I am so happy with our story wall and we have space to spare as the story of our family expands. ❤❤
Every time I pass by it I think of the people I love and it fills me with joy.

Friday morning vibe ❤🙏
The house is quiet...the offspring are still in bed, I appreciate this time of day.
The time in between a good sleep and the commotion of a full house.
It's been a good holiday with everyone home and maneuvering our smaller space has gone surprisingly well.
We have one main common area now instead of three and it has brought us closer together in so many ways.
More movie watching together, more conversations, more cuddles on the couch.
Never underestimate the value of less.

So Much Fun
I enjoy hanging with my friends, and as I lean more into my #thirdact I feel the importance of my soul sisters, my tribe, my coven even more in my life. ❤👭
Be-ing creative is energizing and I really enjoyed flipping through magazines to find pictures and words that resonated with me.🖍
My 2020 word is #intuition and here is the vision board I created while hanging with this awesome human being @christelseeberger who provided the yummy treats and the #hygge 🕯

Did you pick a 2020 word???? It was a great day of planning and scheming and having big picture conversations.
Happy New Year, New Decade and cheers to all the magic!!!

When a soul sister gifts you with some lemony lemon loaf you must eat it before the offspring get to it.
So today I am starting my day with gratitude for the many gifts I have received this year....the most recent being this delicacy I will be devouring as soon as I am finished this post.
Sometime you just have to eat the cake!
Thanks @danalloyd_leadership for the gift of your time to make this ❤ delicious treat.

My favourite kind of winter evening. A Christmas movie, living room to myself. The glow of candles, tree lights and the faux fireplace.
It is the ultimate in #Hygge #cozy #cozyhome

I am loving the energy of this Gemini Full Moon...it's the last full moon of this decade.
What!!!
Have you wrapped your head around the fact that we are entering a new decade?
It feels like yesterday we were ramping up for Y2K...where did the last 20 years go.
Today I am mind mapping my 2020 word of the year and using the energy of this full moon to add some extra sparkle to the map.
Is the full moon a thing for you , if so what ceremonies or rituals do you do to celebrate.
