A daily gratitude habit helps us to see what IS working

Yes, we have chaos all around us. And sure – we can focus on what’s hard. We can also shift our awareness to the beautiful gifts and simple moments of positivity that are always present if we just slow down to look. It’s about creating the habit of noticing. We want to model love and mindfulness. For us. For our children. For our communities.

So who am I, and why should you listen to me?

I am a wife, mother, author, co-owner of Cambridge Construction, and lifelong learner who faces daily the juggling act of work, life, school, homework, hockey (and the list goes on).

My mission is to create the possibility of being and sharing love, peace and kindness. By giving you this powerfully simple tool of gratitude… to help us navigate challenges and stress and still thrive and spread kindness.

I believe:

That we are the foundation for creating positive change in our families and our communities …and how can we model love, compassion, resilience, etc unless we’ve learned to cultivate it ourselves.

We must simply change the habitual ways we talk to ourselves and others to free up energy and time.

That regular self-care & renewal is not a luxury but an inherent need we have that’s part of the body’s stress/recovery response.

In finding the lesson or blessing in each challenge… there is always something.

We must mindfully choose to create our habits before our habits create us.

We are all here to discover, honor and share our unique gifts with the world.

The body, brain and behavior are inextricably interwoven and we must honor the body’s role in learning, growth and change.

In continued growth & learning and embracing your whole self vs. unattainable perfection.

That we can’t reach our potential without social support + accountability.

It’s our duty to create and find the support system we need if we don’t  have one….so that we can show up as our best selves and learn to mother/nurture both our children and ourselves.

In learning to accept love and support, not only from others, but from ourselves.
