The Simplest Technique I Use For Cord-Cutting

3 months ago2 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

FEELING TRAPPED BY SOMEONE WHO DRAINS YOUR ENERGY? Maybe it’s that ex who still haunts your thoughts, the toxic family member who triggers you with a single text, or the workplace situation that follows you home every night. You know something needs to change, but traditional advice like “just let it go” feels impossible when […]

Transforming Your Financial Reality Through Simple Magickal Methods

3 months ago2 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

Many people are curious about whether simple magickal techniques can actually create real financial change. Here’s what I discovered: there’s a straightforward book […]

First Experience: Witnessing David Whyte

3 months ago2 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

I’ve heard about David Whyte, the poet, and philosopher but, I’m only now ready to listen to him. Interesting when the mind is open to new insights and new teachers. Only when the student is ready, then the teacher appears. He recently came up in my YouTube feed from “Inside the Mind of a Master […]

At The Edge of Mother’s Deathbed

3 months ago2 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

During my long walks, whether commuting to and from work or strolling along Vancouver’s seawall, I often memorized poems and lengthy passages. In October 2024, I chose “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley to be the poem I’d memorize as we were entering into the winter phase. Little did I know it would be the last […]

Dignity & Self-Respect Are Cousins (And Why You Need Both)

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

What if the true turning point in healing is not about loving yourself more, but about respecting yourself more deeply? We often talk about boundaries, confidence, and self-care. But beneath all of these lies a quieter, more foundational quality that sustains everything else: dignity. Dignity is rarely discussed, yet it touches every part of our […]

The Healing Power of Reclaiming Our Story: When Writing Becomes Medicine

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

There exists a profound distinction between writing to someone and writing about an experience with them. The former seeks to bridge a gap that may no longer exist. The latter seeks to heal a wound that very much does. What I discovered in my recent process of putting pen to paper was not communication. It […]

I Received A Strange Email – Here’s my response

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

Message to my readers: The message above is an actual email I received on the morning of Sunday, July 20, 2025. The sender is someone I met her through Bumble BFF (a platform for meeting female friends) while I was in Montreal taking care of my late mother’s home. We had only known each other […]

How We Show Up for Friends & Family

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

I like to think I show up for myself. I like to think I show up for my friends and family, too. But lately, I’ve been asking myself a deeper question: Is that really true? Or has something else been guiding the way I show up – something unconscious, something old? The Blueprint We Inherit […]

When A Friend Says “I Didn’t Feel Like Coming Out Today”

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

  The rain in Montréal was hitting hard that spring day. Not the gentle Vancouver drizzle I’m used to, but a curtain of water that soaked through your coat in seconds. I was sitting in a cute small café in Westmount, watching it streak down the windows, waiting for someone I considered a friend. It […]

The Silent Thief: How Comparison Steals Our Joy

3 months ago3 months ago Shay Of Vancouver0

What do you do when your compliment collides with someone else’s scarcity mindset? That moment revealed something I had not fully understood before. In close relationships, opening my heart to another person does not always connect me solely to their true self. It also brings me face to face with their learned patterns, their constrained […]

In a world that profits from your self-doubt, choosing to love yourself is a radical act of rebellion. Your worth isn’t measured by likes, follows, or the highlight reels of strangers. It’s found in the quiet moments when you honour your truth, embrace your flaws, and celebrate the magnificent complexity of who you are. If you’re already on this journey of self-love, go deeper and watch as your authentic light becomes impossible to dim.
