Living in Your Light

By Jovanna | Published: June 5, 2015

I greet my Get Acquainted phone conversations with anticipation and excitement. When my potential clients fill out a few questions to prepare for our first call, they offer honest answers and let me in on some very personal joys and challenges in their lives. They willingly show themselves to me through their words. Before we’ve […]

The Prayer of Poetry

By Jovanna | Published: May 29, 2015

It’s often the simplest of gestures that help my clients find a new perspective. Choosing to stop and smell a flower, to linger in the beauty of the shadow cast by the sun or looking a moment longer into your loved one’s eyes can make all the difference. The practices we create together to support […]

New Ground

By Jovanna | Published: May 21, 2015

Sometimes change seems almost imperceptible and then… For a New Beginning by John O’Donohue In out-of-the-way places of the heart, Where your thoughts never think to wander, This beginning has been quietly forming, Waiting until you were ready to emerge. For a long time it has watched your desire, Feeling the emptiness growing inside you, […]

Sacrifice for Love

By Jovanna | Published: May 8, 2015

Spending the day with my 2 ½ year old grandson earlier this week was such a joy. I knew we were going to be together all day Monday and I planned ahead and excitedly suspended my usual preoccupations. We went to the park, sat by the lake, ate oranges and animal cookies, walked all around […]

Awakened by Spring

By Jovanna | Published: April 24, 2015

Last weekend I was awakened by spring. I was surprised by some crocus that had pushed themselves through the decaying earth. I communed with the bark of a tree. I sat by the stream on big mossy root. When I realized that I’d made it through the long winter, I enjoyed basking in the feeling […]

Nature Is Awaiting You

By Jovanna | Published: March 13, 2015

Last night, after an intense session at my computer working toward a self-imposed deadline, I let out a big sigh and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. With the pace I’d been keeping all day, I had gone beyond the edge of my energy reserve and I felt exhausted. Instinctively I […]

Here Comes the Sun

By Jovanna | Published: March 6, 2015

This morning, as usual, I was up early for my morning walk. I had my snow pants on. My feet were all snuggled into my warm boots. My hood was pulled up. My face was covered with a scarf. I had gone through this same routine day after day in the last few weeks but […]

Find Freedom in Discontent

By Jovanna | Published: February 6, 2015

Have you been complaining even more than usual lately? Great! Does the life you want seem beyond your reach? Wonderful! Are you saying things to yourself that sound something like, “I’m so tired”, “I don’t want to do that”, “This isn’t what I signed up for”, “I can’t believe I haven’t done that yet” and […]

Awakening the Spark

By Jovanna | Published: December 12, 2014

(from Henri Matisse Jazz) Last night I attended a showing of “Exhibition on Screen: Matisse for Tate Modern and MoMA”. It was awesome! The colours, the shapes, the textures and all that was revealed behind the scenes of this exhibition were mesmerizing. I am deeply moved in the presence of art. Creativity unleashed, awakens a […]

Follow Your Passion

By Jovanna | Published: December 5, 2014

Last night I stepped out of the hustle and bustle of life and into the nourishment of a 6-course dinner with a silent auction. I am grateful for local food deliciously prepared, for old friends and new gathered together, for soft light and soulful music and spontaneity. I bid on a month at my favourite […]
