On the last day of 2025, I did a meditation with my group, about beginning the new year by letting go of the pain and stress of 2025. It worked. During the 30 minute session, I had a vision that the upcoming spring would be watercolour like. Muted, watery, colourful,…

Last night, I had quite an intensive session with my therapist. I wont be sharing the gory details here, but the topics of conversation were: spiritual death, spiritual awakening and its toll on relationships (all of them), ghosts, abuse, and the reframing of my childhood. Right when we were smack…

I have started gifting myself self-care dates. Once upon a time, called artist dates (if you follow The Artist’s Way program by Julia Cameron), you will know what I am talking about. I have re-named them, because they are supposed to be a block of time, that you devote to…

This morning, I had the opportunity to attend the Face of Leadership- Inclusive Leadership Forum, put on by Minerva BC.

My name is Laura. This blog will serve as documentation on a 90 day (and perhaps longer) commitment to new self-care practices. If you find yourself here, you will join me in daily walks by the water, and occasional forest or tree lined street, new to me healthy recipes, some lessons discovered during therapy sessions, reading a few books, watching a few movies, and finding some fun. This journey into self-care will revolve around my core values of curiosity, creativity, inclusion, accountability, and harmony.
Welcome.
