Stress is a part of our everyday lives that our bodies are incredibly capable of handling in small doses.

In extreme stressful situations, our nervous systems go into Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn modes to divert our energy for survival. It’s a beautiful way our brain is designed to keep us alive, but it can cause us to act differently than we normally would.

If you see someone acting unusual, take a moment to check in with them to see if they are ok.

Stress doesn’t just come from extreme events like wildfires and other natural disasters. Some people are living with chronic levels of stress due to family, financial, health or other challenges.

Taking a moment to show care and concern, instead of judgement and criticism, allows for feelings of connection and safety. Feeling safe helps to regulate our nervous systems, which can help us get back to functioning normally again.

Fort Mcmurray wildfire update:

Thank you to everyone who reached out with care, concern, offers of help, and prayers for rain! Your kindness was so appreciated during a stressful week. ♥️🙏🫶

Over the last few days we got tons of rain which allowed fire crews to get the fire under control and have the evacuation orders lifted so we could all go back home 🏡 🎉

A big thanks to all of the hardworking men and women who worked tirelessly to get the blaze under control. It takes a special kind of soul to run into an emergency situation when everyone else is running out. ♥️

One of the best motivational speeches I've heard in a while!

"I don’t know where you’re at in your life or what you’re going through, but I want to tell you to keep going.
I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.
I want to tell you it’s going to be ok.
I want to tell you that the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason....
Because what’s in front of you is so much more important than what’s behind you."

Leave it to country music to always tell it like it is! Thanks Jelly Roll ❤

And that's a mic drop folks....

Jelly Roll accepts the award for New Artist of the Year live at 'The 57th Annual CMA Awards' WED NOV 8 on ABC and Streaming Next Day on Hulu.

When designing a wildly successful life, contribution sometimes gets left out of the strategic plan.

Contribution is how we connect to one another, give back, and leave a legacy. Even the smallest contribution can cause a ripple effect that will live on long after we are gone.

As our "external success" grows and we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor such as possessions, titles, and status, we may find ourselves longing for something a little more meaningful.

I have been blessed to live in one of the most "giving" communities in Canada. One way Wood Buffalo makes it easy to give back is through https://www.woodbuffalovolunteers.ca/ , a website that is like a job bank for volunteer opportunities. The website allows you to find the right volunteer opportunity for your skills and passions.

https://www.woodbuffalovolunteers.ca/ is hosted by FuseSocial and sponsored by NorthStar Ford Group Canada. Check it out today!

Thank you to all the incredible volunteers who joined us at Coffee Connect! Your valuable input and insights are the driving force behind our mission to enhance volunteerism in our community.

My fast is complete!

No matter what your goal is, remember to always start where you are at.

Comparing yourself to others is usually a big waste of time.

No one else is meant for the exact same journey in life that you are!! Spend your time carving your own path! ♥️

What do your health goals "look" like?

It's impossible to find something if you don't know what you are looking for.

Nelson Mandela said, "Action without vision is only passing time. Vision without action is merely daydreaming. But vision with action can change the world."

Can you see the thing that you want? Can you close your eyes and picture it? Could you describe it to me in detail if I asked?

One of the most powerful practices in getting anything that you want is to be able to see it in your mind as if it already exists.

Your brain can't tell the difference between a lived experience and an imagined one. So imagining what you are going to feel like once you have achieved your dream opens up channels in your brain that will make you believe you can have it. This in turn will open up channels to allow you to find ways to go out and get it.

Practice visualizing your dream. Close your eyes. Picture in as much detail as you can what your life will look like in this area, what it will feel like, what will be the same, what will be different. Examine every aspect, enjoy every feeling as if you already have it in your life. Don't worry about how you are going to achieve it at this point, that comes later in the process.

For now, simply bring it into your life through the process of visualization and enjoy how it feels. The strategy comes a little later...stay tuned!

Ever feel like "getting healthy" is BORING and a whole lot of HARD WORK? Ever feel like you "SHOULD" do it but don't really "WANT" to?

The reason most people feel this way is because they are not setting their sights on their REAL goals.

Good health on its own IS BORING! What is EXCITING is what you are going to use all your new found health for!

Is it to have more energy to play with your kids or grandkids? Is it to be able to walk or run in nature? Climb a mountain? Start a business? Go back to school? Find the love of your life? Make more money? Give back to your community?

Whatever your big goals are in life, your health is simply the vehicle that will allow you to get there.

So dig a little deeper into what your WHY is for your health and I bet you'll find everything a whole lot easier and more exciting! 💕💕💕

Vaccines are an extremely controversial topic these days. Just the mention of the word can cause fear and sensitivity for many people, regardless of which side of the debate they are on. I am sharing this video series on my page, not because I am for or against vaccines. I share because I believe that when it comes to our health, we should be able to ask as many questions as we need to make informed decisions about our bodies. No one should ever be criticized for seeking knowledge and truth, no matter what the topic. I hope you enjoy and continue to question, learn and listen to your inner guidance to determine what is true for you!

The risks of vaccines are very real, and parents are allowed to question their safety. This documentary discusses the science and history behind the vaccine ...

You may be shocked at how much better you feel after some deep breathing.

Remember to push your belly waaaaaay out while doing this. If it looks like a big balloon 🎈, you are doing it right! 👍♥️
