Mindful-Coaching Connections

Shine bright and be your own unique self. Be proud of who you and and who you have become over the years.

Today feels like the last day of summer in BC, because its the last holiday long weekend until Thanksgiving in October. Tomorrow we officially get back into routine of work for the fall season, prep for the kids to head back to school on Thursday this week for the first time since June and hope for the best with minimal covid exposure for everyone. Soak it all in and enjoy the warm sunshine!

Living my best life in the mountains, lakes, camping and disconnecting from technology for a bit was needed and refreshing. How do you escape and embrace yourself?

Grow Garden Grow! Do you have a green thumb? Any advice for me for next years garden? Whats in your garden? After a full replant mid summer, as my spring garden was planted with fresh seeds and didnt grow, this new batch is finally taking off. I have lots to still learn, as my mom and grandmas had the most amazing gardens growing up as a kid! Im feeling optimistic that next summers garden box will be more lush and flourishing.

Bringing us together through books. You are loved no matter where you are. Far away or close by, this is a beautifully written book. Thank you for your creation to enjoy at bedtime for kids. @farawayfamilies

Sunflower bliss with my bestie. I love the warm summer days in nature. Being present in the moment of gives me clarity and inspiration. Find your happy place and person.

Find strength, courage and peace in your journey, to be the change within yourself, for others to join you.

Special days still happen with love, joy and magic. What are you excited to celebrate?!

What is more powerful and why? Actions or Words? Sometimes we dont always remember what happened or what was said, but we remember how we felt. ... something to think about.

Glacier cold water is refreshing and I feel it is one of the best ways to help reboost your mind, body and soul. I love the water and swimming. It can really take your breath away for how cold it feels when you are in it, yet when you mentally allow yourself to let go and relax, it opens up your heart to give clarity to just BE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT.

Sunflowers and Mountains. The beauty of nature surrounds us all. To breathe in the calm, peace, and pure energy of the earth is recharging. Where do you seek your connection and find comfort in your day?

Mountain sunsets arent like the prairies, but are still breathtaking and beautiful. Alpenglow in the alpine. Places close to home like this for me, is serenity. Find your peace somewhere close to home for you too and enjoy the beauty of it.

Change. Pivot. Adapt. The constant daily cycle this year more than ever. Im a planner and a visual person. I like to mentally prep for my day, week or year ahead and to have an outlook of whats to come. With so much uncertainty surrounding me, I struggle some days to hold it together. I am human. I have emotions and a whole heart filled with love to give and take. Sometimes it feels broken and Im sad. It is the nature of life and I remind myself its going to be okay. If you feel the same, it is OK. We are not alone in this world. Remember you can be vulnerable to open up. Be brave and have courage to ask for help, guidance and support. Be your beautiful self. The sun is shining today and Im going to celebrate me to make the most of my day with kindness, strength and happiness... an outdoor run, work, and then family time.

Take it all in. Breathe. Stretch. Relax. You got this.

Take a moment to write out your to do list. Then prioritize what is most important in your day and week ahead.

Who do you enjoy spending time with? Reach out to that person(s) and let them know you are thinking of them. Send warm virtual hugs.

How do you spend your hot summer days? My girl likes to stay cool floating on a popsicle at our friends outdoor pool. keeping it fun and relaxing.

I did it! 70.3 Whistler Ironman. Completed 2 years ago in 2018 on a 35 degree day hot sunny day. Wow! Anything is possible! I set my goal a year in advance to cross the finish line and I achieved my intention with so much pride and gratitude. Truly thankful for everyone who helped support me in my journey and on the day of to make it extra memorable. What goals have you set out for yourself? Dont wait... make them happen!!

Back in the saddle. Biking is bliss. Whats your fav summer sport / activity? I love it all! Road bike, mountain bike, golf, swimming, paddle boarding, and more. Happy its summer and the sun is shining!

Artwork in our home is a personal choice, and yet that something little, can change the feel of a room. We love the fun, colorful and creative art that @turbobambi_design has brought into our home. A different and unique style to love for kids and adults. Something for everyone to enjoy. Check it out and see if something catches your eye too?!

We do not have to slow down to be mindful, simply to be present for each and every moment is enough.

Mornings are made for making the most of your day, with a paddle board and swim at your local lake with a friend. It might start out with clouds and uncertainty and end with bright sunshine and clarity.

Home grown strawberries are the sweetest, juiciest and most rewarding berry in my garden box. Natural warm sunshine and ongoing rain for growth. So good! Whats your favorite fruit to grow?

Its a feet first, dip in the pool day. Take a moment to do something for you. Self care. Then feel recharged to get back into work mode or whatever it is that you need to do in your day to carry on and feel good about it. Go for it and dont hold back!

Todays message pops off my wall with a post-it note I wrote long ago. Remember who are you? What do you need or want? Be yourself with an open heart while being mindful of others.

When you can fly anywhere, where would you go? The beach? A lake? No where but to just be in the sky away from it all? The views above the ground are breathtaking and truly gives a whole different perspective of what our world looks like. The sky is the limit and Im glad we have our own little plane to seek adventures on our own. Grateful and blessed.

Bring on the summer heat! Im ready to soak it all up! The west coast has been wet and cold. Time to turn it up and enjoy some lake swimming. Seek adventure whenever possible and make it happen.

Putting the pieces together of so many memories in a church that is no longer there. This stained glass window has so much meaning and history to it for our family, from being baptized to weddings to end of life celebration. Im grateful to enjoy the colors and beauty of it now in my home daily. Do you have something at home that you cherish and has a story?

Biking is beautiful. Fresh air and nature. Reconnecting with old trails is rejuvenating. Feels good to be back in the saddle. Have you been wanting to get back to an activity you used to do and loved?! Now is the time!! Dont wait. Make it happen.

Todays farmers market fresh picks. I love knowing that Im buying local, helping farmers and fueling my body with healthy choices. Do you buy local? Summer time is the best time to enjoy a variety of fruits and veggies. I road my bike to and from the market too, as the sun is shining bright and providing beautiful warm energy. Happy Sunday.

The enchanted forest is a magical place to check out. Wow! Cool! To escape to a fairytale land is fun for everyone to experience and reconnect with being a kid again. When was the last time you did something that reminded you of your childhood that was really exciting and make believe? @ The Enchanted Forest

Each day opens up new opportunities and challenges. How you choose to act towards yourself and others matters. Be Kind.

Find your own sunshine and waves. Be bright and happy where ever you are.

Just like paddling out to surf the ocean waves vs watching the waves and wishing you could ride them ... make your dreams come true.

Anyone else feeling this way? "Wild and Free". Being mindful of others for health and safety, yet a getaway to recharge.

This is my vision board during covid times. This is a day unlike any other. Finding comfort amongst the chaos. Dreaming about adventures, travel, reuniting with my family. Have you ever created a vision board? Its fun for anyone to do anytime. Take some magazines, cut out pictures, words and anything that resonates with you. Bucket list items to do. What do you want to achieve in the upcoming year(s)? Create your future and feel inspired about what you want to do.
