This weekend is our Family Day Weekend with Monday being a holiday for some people.  This is a great weekend to contemplate family and enjoy the time with family.  I feel that for some family may not necessarily mean a time with parents or siblings or other family members but a time with a pet or time spent in the forest.  This weekend is filled with sunshine that we haven't seen for a number of weeks.  To me this weekend smells of Spring time just peeping around the corner.  I heard song birds yesterday morning and saw people running around the Bay in shorts and tshirts.....I decided to tie up my own running shoe laces and go for a run.  The sun was my family yesterday as I ran and felt the warmth on my body and the melted snowwater on the pavement as it slipped inside my runners.  I felt glorious. People were happy ......sun, Family Day weekend, melting snow and not to mention the blue skies.  Life is really great!!!

Have you engaged in conversations that only are based on emotions and who the person is rather than what they do? I am finding it interesting in that the more I listen and feel what people are saying they then reveal more of their heart. If I were to ask them "what do you do?" then the conversation changes and they "act or perform" what they do.  But asking them questions that surrounds their heart and how they feel and what they see in life is the most amazing conversation I feel I experience.  This isn't small talk but "big talk"...per se.  Not sure that is even the two words that would match what I am trying to convey here.  But "big talk" in a very beautiful and emotional way.  I most recently have had conversations with people about their feelings on life and their ideas about food and the environment and their hearts.  When I do this I can feel the real person......try it out!!  It is really fun and then just before they leave ask them what they do? 

How are you ?  How are you feeling and how is your body feeling?  Now is a great time to take care of you and ask yourself how are you?  Many people are being nudged and questioning who they are.  This is a great time now to look at our lives and consider maybe it is time for a change.  Yes this may be scary, yes this may feel unsure or uncertain. But it truly is a great time even to think about it for a bit.  I am noticing more and more people changing and shaking things up a bit or a lot.  People are now feeling brave and time to be and live as we really are.  Just a tiny thought can start the process!!  It doesn't mean we have to drop our jobs or even get a job, or loosen a relationship ... it can be tiny changes.  I know a lot of friends of mine are decluttering .  This may mean selling a house, loosening old patterns even or painting a room or leaving a city.  So how are you ?
