You are the creator of your Universe. Yes, you! So knowing what you desire in life is very important. Because when you know what you desire - you can give that desire your undivided attention. And...what you focus on grows. For example, when you water and tend to your garden it thrives beautifully. Similarly, when you nurture your desires, they become alive - they become your reality.
Ask yourself the question, 'What do I desire in life?' Is it Self Love, Inner Peace, to reduce stress and live life fully? Whatever it is, there is no time like the present. So, what can you do today to make this desire more of your reality?

One thing that we come back to on a daily basis is our deepest heart's desire. We have found this to be key - to know what we desire and why we are doing what we are doing. Because sometimes, you can have those days when life makes no sense at all, and you ask yourself "What is important to me?" "Why am I doing what I am doing?" But if you know in your heart without a doubt what you desire, and you feel it 100%, you can easily get 'back on track'. You have direction.

The most effective tool that we have had to help us experience our deepest hearts desire has been meditation. Meditation allows you to clear old stress from the nervous system, connect with your inner strength and feel anchored no matter what is happening in life. And more importantly, the benefits of meditation are cumulative as opposed to them fading away.

On Saturday Kevin and I, and our four-legged friend Romeo, decided to get away from the city and venture out for the day. We were ready for a day of just chilling out. And what an amazing day we had - from start to finish!
The drive in the country was spectacular. The sun was shining. The beautiful, open sky was endless and expansive - no boundaries; no beginning and no end - just like the Peace and Silence within.
Our first destination was Sunnivue Organic Farm in Ailsa Craig. What a wonderful atmosphere - we bought beautiful fresh produce, some happy sunflowers for the garden, and enjoyed interesting conversations while we savoured the taste of freshly baked bread and a cup of tea. Then off we went...cruising down a country road. To find out more visit the Sunnivue Farm website.
Our next stop was the Pinery Provincial Park. We had our first visit of the year to the beach. A dog-friendly beach, of course, where Romeo encountered many other friends. The three of us took a stroll on the beach. It was better than a day at the spa; the soft sand massaged my toes; the fresh air enlivened my skin and the sun's energy brought my cells alive. Water is my favourite element. It was so soothing to hear the waves rolling in and out - it felt like they were saying 'hello, you're back!' My toes were delighted to take their first dip in the lake. Romeo, however, wasn't so sure. He approached the 'big' waves, all of six inches, with caution and curiosity. It was hilarious to watch, especially because Romeo likes to uphold his image of being such a macho guy. At one point, I looked over at Kevin and said, 'We are so incredibly blessed.' He agreed. In that moment, I longed for nothing. I was full of peace and gratitude.
After a full day, we headed back to 'home sweet home' and filled our bellies with delicious food. As I went to bed, I felt so content. What a perfect day. It was simple, relaxing and fun!
It's the simple things in life that can fill our hearts up with joy, laughter and love. And taking time to do the things that nurture us is so important. So remember the K.I.S.S. principle.... Keep It Simple Silly!
