Friendship - My friend Leigh...

My friend Leigh's birthday was Monday...and I had a great get together with her last friday.....I have been meaning to blog about her and how special she is in my life..all week...but alas...here it is finally, 

Things I adore about Leigh:

Her quirky sense of humour, her funny sayings...."Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy", 

Her acceptance of all, her non-judgemental presence in the world, 

Her love of animals of all kinds, cats, dogs, bunnies, etc......She will go to great lengths to meet dogs that are being walked in and around the neighbourhood, her ability to listen, and empathize, be wacky and wild, serious and frivolous..her creativity and flare....

 Leigh is a blessing in my life...and I cherish her dearly...and most of all I celebrate her each day 

Thank you Leigh for your love and support..from one Frida freak to another..happy belated birthday...

Here is the Frida piece I created for her ....

International Women's Day - Blessings to all of you!

Yesterday was International Womyn's Day...I hope you had a wonderful day of celebration of self and had a cheer, toast and / or some other merriment with womyn or for womyn in your lives....

I had a great weekend opening "Woman's House" at Wise Daughters...the exhibit will be there until May 1st..so check it out if you are in Toronto sometime soon. It was a great opening, and I thank all my lovely friends and family that took the time to come out and support me on this day in this opening.

Sunday, I hosted my very first Womyn's Day Festival. It was successful for the first year..and it was great to see the womyn who came out and who believed in the cause enough to set up their tables and share what they do for a living and for their passion...thank you for attending this first year and it will get bigger and better with each year I am sure.

Wishing you all blessings...a day late...sorry.

I was so exhausted with a full weekend of activities..sitting at the computer to blog about it had to wait..that is the rest I took on IWD day.

Heart Answers with Direct Proof....

Lately I have been reflecting a lot on listening to my heart's calling, and the answers that come directly from my heart vs. my head.  The whole practice of asking for what you want, practicing and living life as if you have it already and allowing it to be there...To receive.  It is true, the first two are easier to implement for me anyway, however, the last one has always been a challenge for me...but tonight I have direct proof that it does happen.  I have been receiving blessings each day, for a long time, of things I desire, want, or need for success, happiness, joy and living a full creative life...from simple things as a parking spot in the right place, to meeting lovely like minded positive, loving, uplifting people in my life.

Tonight I went to a Guelph Wellington Women in Networking (GWWIN) meeting where we played this inspiring, creative and rewarding game, called the Beehivegame....they have an online Beehivegame to check out too....VERY COOL, VERY EXCITING...

Here at this GWWIN meeting of 30 women, we got a chance to meet each other and also their 200 other potential contacts and leads for any question our heart desired to be asked.....Leads that lead to other leads, other connections and the possibilities are endless...It was truly buzzing in the room, full of excitement and womyn practicing giving fully of themselves and being open to receiving what they were asking for.  I am grateful for the connections that led me to arriving at this meeting, Anne Harauz, of Spirit Filled Healing and Lisa Ivaldi of Forestview Business Services, who had encouraged me to join and attend many times in the past.   Clearly, I was meant to be at this meeting, I won three separate fantastic gifts.  This for me was evidence, direct proof that asking for what you need or want, will result in the receiving of it....it is just a matter of allowing the doors to open and watching them open and then taking that great big leap of faith to jump through....I am gratefully learning to receive.  Thank you!
