On a chilly morning
I wrap myself in
The heavenly blue sweater
Knitted by her caring
Kind hands
Made with her strong
Loving hands
I wrap myself in her comfort and love
And her warmth
Grateful to be wrapped in my mother’s embrace
On this cold, grey day

I am super excited as I have just joined the world’s largest mindset and intuition experiment!
I just have to tell you about it!
This social experiment asks the question – can mindset and intuition training create a millionaire mindset, and make YOU a millionaire in just one year???
Exciting right? As a participant I get all this:
Here’s the most insane thing, the admin fee for this whole experience is just $25 for the whole year!!!
I knew I had to tell you about it as I didn’t want my peeps to miss this amazing opportunity to be part of something so epic and special.

In full transparency this is my affiliate link and I do get a reward for introducing people to this experiment.
I’ve had an off and on relationship with Yoga since my mid twenties but it’s something I keep returning to.
With my artwork, I seem to always return to painting the goddess.I have begun a new journey with the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and I feel I’m in perfect alignment with my spirit.
Not only am I learning the poses, breath work and anatomy but I’m also studying the philosophy, and the Hindu gods and goddesses which sparks a fire in me..Ever since I was a child, I had a deep interest in ancient civilizations and cultures. One of my early school projects was about the Aztec and Mayan gods. I remember painting the gods with reds, turquoise and gold. And drawing black outlines and repeated patterns of squares and circles.
I also had an intense interest in ancient Egypt. I loved to visit the Egyptian section of the Royal Ontario Museum, especially the mummies. I was bursting with excitement to see the King Tut exhibit at the AGO when it came to town. Egypt was calling me so much that I travelled there in the early 90’s. I stayed in Luxor, explored the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens, saw the Karnak temple, sailed on a felucca down the Nile and rode an Arabian charger through the desert.
My heart was so full.
Since health and wellness are my number one priority at the moment, I did a 5 day sugar free challenge with Kathryn White at Thrive Nutrition and Yoga.
Just becoming aware of sugar content in processed food is a great eye opener. For example those Clifbars I was eating fairly regularly contain 21 grams of sugar! That’s a lot. I’ve continued to eliminate most of the sugar in my diet since my glucose readings are prediabetic (mostly due to my age and genetics). The recipes that Kathryn gave us were amazing and delicious like the Thai Curry and Apple Pie smoothie.
Kathryn is a cancer survivor, mentor to my adult daughter and an all round wonderful human, you will love connecting with her.

WEEKLY REFLECTION PRACTICES WITH DANIELLE LAPORTE
These recent Angel paintings will be exhibited at the Miniature Show & Sale at the St. Thomas-Elgin Public Art Centre, St Thomas, Ontario.
Running from November 14 to December 19, 2020.
I’m creating a series angel paintings. Each one will be different and unique accompanied with a Haiku poem. Angels to honour my mom who rather unexpectedly passed away last year. She loved angels and fairies and would often gift me little statues. Art has immense healing powers, healing the artist as well as the viewer. Each final artwork will be for sale as a fine art print and I will also publish a book at the end.
Expected to be published February 2021.
For those of you who have lost a loved one, for those of you who might feel alone or sad or lost, for those of you in a toxic relationship, for those of you going through a difficult time, my gift to you is an angel.

Every now and then through all the internet noise I will come across something interesting and truly inspiring.
In this video she speaks of the Vedic goddess Akhilandeshvari (pronounced ah-kee-LAN-desh-va-ree) which translates to never not broken.
This goddess is sometimes depicted riding on the back of crocodile and is always broken, always putting the pieces back together just to tear them apart and reshape herself. Beauty in brokenness.
