I’ve been quiet. I’ll poke my head out soon until then my heart is heavy and trying to heal.

Abbs, Douglas Walker 1942 - 2021

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Walker Abbs, a devoted husband and loving father.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario in 1942, he was a dreamer and wanderlust for adventure. His free spirit led him to travel most of Canada from the east to west coast including the arctic and a motorcycle tour of the United States down to Key West, over to the Grand Canyon, Mexico and then up the west coast with his beloved wife Brenda of 43 years.

Together they built their home to raise their family on an acreage near Strathmore AB.

He will be deeply missed by his wife, son Carver and grandson Brio of Strathmore AB, and daughters, Ashley (Sheldon Essery) and grandson Elijah of Calgary AB, and Carrollynn and her family of North Bay ON.

Predeceased by his mother Mary Ann and father George, whom he lost way too young.

Doug was a master electrician and taught at SAIT instructing both the journeyman electrical program, where he met Brenda, and aircraft technology. He started his own electrical company Brenda Electric which he worked for up until retirement. He loved to build and invent everything from motors, to airplanes and racecars. He enjoyed woodworking and tinkering in the shop using his hands and learning new skills.

Our hearts will forever remember his unconditional love and support to dream big and chase the sparks of inspiration.

We love you and miss you forever and always.

Wow! thank you for the incredible support in helpi

My heart is bursting with gratitude this morning c

The unknown is where the magic lies. This line fro

The unknown is where the magic lies. This line from an oracle that I pulled...okay jumped out twice after each time that I put it back in.

“Oh but I so want to know! Tell me the magic now!” I feel like a little kid having a tantrum.

We are wired for safety. Safe and known will win out more often than uncertain with potential.

So how do we choose to stet to the other side? Where chaos might prevail for a little while but possibility abounds.

It’s not something we can hope and pray about. The decision has to be conscious otherwise we’ll just step out of the lane and retreat back to comfort and certainty.

Within the framework of the 5 Elements and our Alchemy our Core Requirements can act as a guidance system to ensure that we have a level of stability and knowing. Even when there is little to be known at that time.

My Earth when engaged to feel grounded, supported, nourished, is understood and has clarity will help cushion my step and assure me that I’ll be okay.

In 5 Element Alchemy we explore each Element type’s Core Requirements and how to engage them in each area of our life. So that we know when a decision to leap is aligned and we can choose love, magic and possibility confidently. [link in bio to get your copy]

Liv 3 (Great Surge) Considered one of the many gre

Liv 3 (Great Surge) Considered one of the many great tonic points of the body, this point is valuable in treating the Liver Organ itself and aids in the flow of overall Qi (Energy) in the body. When Qi is congested, we tend to not feel so great. This point helps to ease insomnia, stress, disrupted sleep and headaches. If you’ve eaten too much fatty food, drunk too much alcohol or have taken a lot of medications, this point will help their metabolism which is done by the Liver.

Given that the dominant emotion of the Wood Element is anger, this point can help soothe agitation, irritation, frustration and anger to help calm the mind and impart courage and clarity.

Position: this point lies on the top of the foot in a large hollow between the first and second toes, halfway along the metatarsal bone (longest bone in your foot). There will probably be a sensitive spot especially if the liver is very congested in which case the point itself may feel thick and swollen. Use moderate, direct pressure. (Contraindicated in pregnancy unless directed by a qualified practitioner) Its time to go see your acupuncturist 😉

Writing Prompt - Where am I being called to grow?

Writing Prompt - Where am I being called to grow?

The wood Element will both lead with its aspirational vision, setting goals and direction and will also lovingly nudge you along with its soulful strategy.

One step at a time.

Where am I being called to grow?

I’m being called to show up and stand behind my work.

It’s not new, I’ve circled around to this same initiation so many times.

And each time I’ve started and then I ultimately fizzle out, abandoning my heart as soon as I’m met with my insecurities and my very loud inner critic that tells me to “JUST STOP! No one wants to hear from you right now!”

Cutting at one of my deepest wounds because, that girl knows how to dig at it just the right way.

I go quiet, the words dry up and I turn on my heart for stirring something inside that would make me vulnerable AGAIN.

I’ve gone quiet for a long time and as I meet this question Where am I being called to grow?

I realize that showing up and sharing my truth is a direction that will bear fruit and help me meet goals.

But more importantly it’s also the initiation to something bigger. The growth I’m being called to do is reconcile with the hurt and convene with my inner critic so that we may grow together.

One step at a time.
