Family Christmas Advent Calendar

Family Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 22

"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but look at what they can do when they stick together"

Today’s family activity is building a snowman. Unfortunately the past couple of day it has been raining. Since the weather was warm and raining all the snow we had here in Montreal has melted away.

So since we can’t do our advent activity today, as a family we decided to make it a day of rest. So everyone had the day to them selves to do whatever there heart desires.

My family and I all did separate things. My dad did some errands and relaxed the rest of the day. My mom prepared some onion soup that she will be serving as the first course for Christmas Day, tidied up the house and welcomed some family that came to visit. My sister went out for breakfast in the morning and went to work for the rest of the day. I finished up a few things that still had to be done for Christmas Eve.

Even tho we couldn’t build the snowman like I wanted to sometime Mother Nature has other plans. She’s there to remind us that in life there may be obstacles and hurtles. It is all about how we deal with those obstacles and hurdles that creates are character in life. It’s always best of looking at obstacles and hurdles as a blessing in the sky’s. Mother Nature knows best, as we all know there’s no such thing as coincidences.

Thanks to Mother Nature and the whole world combined.

I would love to hear your story of how you prepare for Christmas.

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love. I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it. Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away. Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...

Predominant Colour Energy

Energy is everywhere and apart of everything. For this post I want to explain how colour can affect your energy balance. Different colours have an association with a specific feeling and behaviours in your life. Focusing on specific colour can indicate if you are balanced to who you truly are or want to be. This is a simple technique to use to make you you are on the right path for your personal spiritual journey to enlightenment. If you would like to know what colour your energy is, listen to my meditation on colour energy to see what your predominant colour is. Colour can give you different feelings and emotions when you look at them. A way to control your energy is by wearing a specific colour for the emotion you want to portray. For example if you would like to feel loved and cherished, when your getting dressed you should reach for the colour....... If you want a claiming home environment surround yourself with the colour blue. Most of us don't...
