After not sleeping well for 15 years I am finally falling asleep easily and getting the best sleep I ever remember having! These CDs are amazing and I want everyone to know about them!They are called "Think Right Now!" and THEY WORK...If you're like most people with sleep problems, your mind is simply overloaded with tension and strain bythe time your head hits the pillow.You lie there trying to

Last night, when my "second-wind" kicked in and I got a burst of energy at 8:00pm, I bundled my little angel up in layers and layers and off we went to the Niagara Blvd. It was dark and it was cold but it was refreshing. I pulled her on a sled for about 1/2 hour and for the first time all day, she was quiet! Whew.Walking down by the water is truly one of my favourite things to do. It brings me:

What is my health teaching me about myself today?Some of us have great health and some of us have health issues and some of us have poor health.For about 5 years I've had troublesome symptoms that I didn't understand. Now they've become so prominent that doctors are able to identify the symptoms and "name" the problem. As with many things in nature, the remedy to my health issues will make the

How will I find rest and relaxation in the middle of a busy mom day?I know why it's so hard for me to find rest in the middle of the day. It's because I have this 'absurd' idea that I don't want to serve canned, pre-made food to my family. So a good 25%-45% of my day is spent preparing, cooking, serving, and cleaning up after meals.Combine that with my extreme distaste for the television and the

Today you don't feel like the sun. Maybe yesterday you didn't feel like the sun either. Or maybe you've never felt like the sun. I've been there too. You're not alone in that feeling and I applaud you for recognizing that that is how you feel. I don't feel like you found this blog by accident. I'm glad you are here and I want you to know that I fully believe that right now you have the answer you

At times when I feel the most stress, the most confusion, the most fear, my standard and most reliable solution is meditation. Whether I am seeking an answer to a relationship problem, a financial problem, or a parenting issue, I found answers in meditation.Anyone can learn to meditate. You do not need to be a monk or an experienced Yoga practitioner to find solutions in meditation. I know this,

Recently I came across someone on Facebook whom I haven’t seen in about 5 years and she wrote, “Wow, Rachel, you’re really well educated. You must be making big bucks by now.” And I’m still laughing about that.If I had not have stayed home with my daughter for the past four years and if I would have gotten a teaching job right away, I would have been making an annual salary of more than

Tonight after dinner my daughter and I moved the couch to the side of the living room and we played hockey in the living room/dining room.My husband Kyle said, "We've played so many games with her over the years in this room, and now we're playing hockey!"How does the time go by so fast? I remember sitting in this very room with her when she was 9 months old. I had laid a blanket down and put
