This hangs over my work space. It’s been there f This hangs over my work space. It’s been there for years after creating it at a teacher’s meeting @pycetobicoke lead by @nataliewebber1 I remember thinking the exercise was childish as she explained it. Once I saw these amazingly gay stickers I got into it.
🌈🚀😂
Friends constantly comment on how productive I am... For years I had the story that nothing was ever enough. I allowed this thinking to either exhaust me OR keep me stuck in distraction and procrastination. The number of times this little craft project has gotten me back on track is beyond count at this point. When I find myself stuck in “I don’t want to do that”, “I don’t have time”, “it’s too hard”(hate that word but it still pops up;) this simple reminder gets me to BEGIN AGAIN with fresh perspective.
✨💖✨
What distractions do YOU need to turn off? What’s “wrong” that you keep focused on instead of acknowledging what’s RIGHT? Where does a “no” or “can’t” keep you stuck from sharing your LIGHT with the world? What are you preaching to the people around you while not taking you own advice? You CAN make a shift to be in integrity with yourself! Like actually tho... lol. GO DO IT NOW! Small steps lead to BIG change. Maybe start by making your OWN Begin Again Power Sheet.
🙏🏽
Thanks Nat. Still inspiring me. Even though it’s been AGES since I saw you in person you’re staring at me from behind my computer every day I look at this “childish” life changing piece of paper. Funny thing is, I’m actually just a big kid. Fascinating I was ever resistant to it in the first place.

My walking buddy is cuter than yours... 😜 Mr. B My walking buddy is cuter than yours... 😜 Mr. B and I are killing this New Years Resolution! 30 minutes a day?! How about nearly 10km!!🏃🏻‍♂️Had a story that I couldn’t walk long distances for years because of my knee injury/surgeries. I lived into that story and while I walked B daily, it was never for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. This “habit” of waking up and walking him before my coffee has got me feeling better than I have in years; I won’t be letting this one go any time soon. AND he’s never been better on a leash in his nearly 6 years on the planet. ☺️ Also, now at 14 days totally sober from my vices. No refined sugar 🍩, weed 💨 or alcohol🍷 so far in 2021 and I couldn’t be happier about it. ✨
I’m a little late to the party here... 😂 I’ I’m a little late to the party here... 😂 I’ve known OF The 5 Love Languages for YEARS, but never actually read (listened to) the book. Totally 🤯 right now; halfway through the second listening. Making SO MUCH sense of how I experience love AND what went so terribly wrong in my 14 year relationship. I’m most definitely a “Words of Affirmation” kind of guy and that was something notably lacking from my previous partners. I’m also aware how many times MY genuine words of affirmation fell on deaf ears that didn’t know how to hear of believe them. When we know better, we do better. Read this book whether you’re in a relationship or not. If you read it years ago, I would say it’s worth a refresher. Life changing to say the least. ✨
Found the full version of this flow buried on my p Found the full version of this flow buried on my phone! Gang plank flow from the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey. Currently recording a voice over and uploading it to YouTube for #tbt tomorrow. Stay tuned. Remember when we could travel... *sigh* Also, this TAN! 😜✨

This Glitter Moose has been around for a couple Ch This Glitter Moose has been around for a couple Christmases and out since early December... I decided this year to keep it out year round (love sparkle, love moose, I’m gayer than Christmas, so why not?🤷🏻‍♂️) Today, for the first time ever, Mr. B decided he needed to keep an eye on it. After a solid 3-5 minutes of B trying to hop up and take him off the TV stand I brought it closer. Glitter Moose and B then had this stare down that lasted nearly 5 more minutes. He wouldn’t take his eyes off of it. Apparently Glitter Moose is a threat now.. What a goofball...
✨🤪🤣
Merry Christmas & Happy (early) Birthday to me!! 🤩 I ordered this at the beginning December... nearly 5 weeks later it arrived. My old MacBook Air literally sounds like it’s about to self destruct every time I edit or upload video. 😳This will be a welcome upgrade. Higher processor and more memory; not to mention the epic case that makes me feel like I’m in the woods. Now just to transfer all the things over to this one. So excited to try this beauty out.
This boy was feeling his walk today! That smile th This boy was feeling his walk today! That smile tho...
🥰
One of my New Years resolutions is to walk Mr. B at least 45 minutes every day. It has ended up being well over an hour spread between 2-3 walks. I’m loving it. So is he. ✨
Dancer & Floor Bow UPGRADE Mini-Workshop uploading Dancer & Floor Bow UPGRADE Mini-Workshop uploading to YouTube. It’ll be up tomorrow. Want to take your poses to the next level? Check it out. I thought these variations were “impossible” for a long time... drop the limiting belief and see what happens. Don’t argue with your back though; it ALWAYS wins the argument. If they don’t feel good, don’t force anything. 😉💪🏼
Self care. How important do you make it in YOUR li Self care. How important do you make it in YOUR life? Working on my heart chakra while getting my sweat on.

Just before the pandemic, I bought myself a one person medical grade infrared sauna. I had wanted one for years to help with inflammation and my overall state of health (there’s lots of evidence to the benefits) but my ex was always a firm “NO” to it. It was my gift to myself after working so hard to get our house ready for sale and increasing its value considerably. I had no idea how much I would appreciate having this through COVID. The heat alone is therapeutic and has kept my sweaty yoga studio withdrawals to a minimum. Didn’t expect to use the colour therapy lights that often but I’ve come to LOVE them as a way to deepen my meditation and focus on certain areas of my body. My heart has been needing some extra attention these last couple weeks. 2021 is all about self care for me.. If I’m not loving and accepting myself FULLY, how could I ever expect to attract love and affection from another? What can YOU do today to take a little bit better care of your body and mind? Great. Go DO IT!
