Carry Peace

By Jovanna | Published: October 4, 2013

Take a few moments to nurture yourself. Rest your back against a tree. Feel the earth underneath you. Look up and take in the blue sky. Listen to the birds. Find peace and carry it with you.

Pausing Forward

By Jovanna | Published: September 13, 2013

I awoke Monday morning feeling distraught. I honestly can’t remember why. It could have been the shock I sometimes feel leaving the fun of a weekend behind as I move into the work of the week. Or perhaps my emotions were triggered by a dream. Whatever the reason, I was not happy. Rather than trying […]

“Speaking Your Peace”

By Jovanna | Published: August 30, 2013

As the cool morning air gently enters the window where I’m writing I notice two robins flitting in the bushes and two butterflies dancing in the tall grass. Occasionally, I see someone walking along the path that winds through the small cemetery across the laneway from the house where I am visiting. There is a […]

Looking for Happiness

By Jovanna | Published: August 23, 2013

Do you ever have times when you’re in the middle of an emotional melt down and your negative self-talk is running rampant? You’re saying things to yourself like “You’re so stupid!”, “I can’t believe you did that again!”, “You will never learn!” or “What a looser!”.

By Jovanna | Published: July 12, 2013

Several years ago when my former husband and I separated and divorced, along with the grieving, I also had a deeply held desire for another love relationship. Although I was in no way ready to go out looking for that special someone, I did want to nurture my desire. I have a practice that has […]

Summer Wrote this Blog Post

By Jovanna | Published: July 5, 2013

This week I sat down in a chair on my deck to write my blog post. I was contemplating what wisdom I had to impart when I was gently nudged by a gust of warm summery air. I looked up to see two morning doves flitting here and there, one resting just long enough to […]

Lingering in Summer

By Jovanna | Published: June 28, 2013

This week I dived into summer. It was one of the first hot Ontario days and it was dripping with humidity. When my son suggested that we go to our favourite swimming hole, without hesitation, I stopped what I was doing, changed into my swimsuit, grabbed my bottle of water and my towel and jumped […]

Summer Solstice Walk

By Jovanna | Published: June 21, 2013

Today is the first day of summer. I am so happy to be here! Living in Ontario where we experience dramatic changes in the seasons, it feels like it’s such a long journey each year returning to summer, my favourite season. This morning I took my camera with me when I went on an early […]

Practicing Catch

By Jovanna | Published: June 14, 2013

How has the practice “Catch Yourself in the Act” that I introduced last week been going? Have you started to transform the disappointment of forgetting and the self-criticism that accompanies it into the lighthearted excitement of remembering? There is ease in accepting the invitation of a small step. This week I’d like to offer another […]

Catch Yourself in the Act

By Jovanna | Published: June 7, 2013

There are many things we do in our day-to-day lives that have a negative undertone. It’s surprisingly easy to “catch yourself in the act” and turn those negative undertones into positive overtones. I guarantee the result will have a surprisingly big impact on your life. How often have you left something important at home? You’re […]
