Hope can feel fragile in a world that often seems overwhelmed by negativity, uncertainty, and constant noise. In this conversation, we explore the difference between “hoping” from a place of lack and living with a deeper sense of possibility, faith, and resilience.

From spring growth and tiny spruce tips to the stories we consume every day, this episode is a reminder that hope is something we can practice, protect, and strengthen — even in difficult times. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by the state of the world, this conversation may help you reconnect with gratitude, perspective, and the quiet signs of life still moving forward all around us.

Ask A Practitioner 260 - The Seed Knows How To Grow

Sometimes, regardless of how much love we bring to a situation, or how good our intentions may be, the connections or repairs we seek just don’t happen.

We absolutely have an effect on the world around us and the people we engage with. We ARE one another. All is connected. It cannot be any other way. So, it is absolutely imperative that we keep up whatever mindful practices allow us to make peace with our traumas and shadows. This creates the awareness and room for faith and love and hope to be the default operating system we are running from. This DOES foster more Good. It’s just that sometimes we won’t see it show up immediately, or in the way we may have imagined it.

If we “zoom out”, it is obvious that there is so much more going on in Existence than we can see from our limited vantage points. Our role is to plant the Good seeds and keep the faith that each one makes a difference, even if we don’t see it yet. (Like a person who plants a tree they know they will never sit under, but which will provide shade and food for future generations). This is how we sow and nurture a collective experience of Good.

Once the seed is in the ground, though, we have to step back and let it do what it knows how to do. We can water and nurture the garden to the best of our abilities, but no matter how earnest our desires may be, we cannot actually make the seeds grow. Something larger than us is at play there. We must release control and let the growth happen in its own time and way. Or, we will suffer needlessly.

We are so grateful to be able to give generously to places of high value. Friends of Strathcona Park is one of those places!!
I wonder how much you have enjoyed that park?
Do you recognise what treasures are in the park?
Did you know there is a small group of mighty people who have made this special place a place at all?

Ask A Practitioner 259 - The Gift That Keeps On Giving

We are constantly making offers; giving “gifts” — often without even realizing it. We are also, often unwittingly, receiving “gifts” from others. The questions is, how conscious are we being during these exchanges?

What I mean by that is: how consciously do you set your intention for your day, regarding who you are and what energy or grace you will bring into your interactions with the world (regardless of whatever energy you may be met with)? What “gift” of yourself are you offering to the people and the situations you encounter? Additionally, what energy or grace (or lack thereof) are you accepting from others?

If you are being given something that doesn’t delight you, whether in the physical or metaphysical realms, you are not obligated to accept it. You can smile politely and give yourself the gift of, “no thank you”; thus giving others the gift of your truth.

We each get to decide for ourselves what sort of “gift” we are, and what sort of “gifts” we receive. What we decide, whether consciously or unconsciously, determines our lives.

There is a saying that goes something like, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it The Present”. Are you giving good “presence”, or pawning off hand-me-down junk? And what are you choosing to receive?
