Inside The Polished Apple

Celebration is our Theme for December~ Thanks to Dr Rob for these words to help us celebrate! (also published in our Elan monthly newsletter)  Celebrate your life. This task is relatively easy when things are going your way. When challenges come up it becomes more difficult. Think back to the times in the past when you had challenges: How much did you learn and grow during those times? Times of adversity make us stronger, it's easy to reflect and see the blessing that our journey has brought us. Learning how to bring that into present time consciousness takes practice. The better you develop this skill the more quickly you grow and the easier it is to celebrate life every day, knowing that today is a building block for your future. So celebrate the amazing people in your life and the blessings that come your way. Cultivate the practice of seeing the gifts in the people who trigger you, the mistakes you make and bumps in the road. They are your greatest teachers. I celebrate Donal

It is not a coincidence that I happened to "forget" to post about the Behaviour week of our 21 Day Challenge. When I go behaviour, it seems that all else goes out the window and it is a week of just doing and feeling like my head has been chopped off.  Behaviour Week means that we Just Do. Take the Action. Jump. Don't make the list (unless the action of writing it down) or if you use some crazy mind map. Don't make a plan. Don't think about how you feel of why you do it.  Appropriately, I also planned a lot for myself for the week of Behaviour-there were things during the week, but it ended with 3 events back to back to back. I spoke to a Parent Council meeting at a local school on Seasons of Parenting; I put together a Brain Body Potential Program for a local Healthy Family Fridays AND our office co-hosted a Women's Networking event on the last day. That is what behaviour means to me.  It does mean that with respect to my personal challenge of being a M

Words on Celebration to mark our Theme in December (also published in our monthly newsletter)  A pause, a celebration. Our school just celebrated the start of advent. A quiet evening where we are invited to go inward and walk a beautiful evergreen spiral to light our candle from the central light. A time to slow down as the holiday approaches, reflect on what we have in our life, finding light in the darkness and preparing ourselves for these longest nights of the year. Our family raced into the weekend, raced through it, and then carved some time to make it to advent celebration. My daughter raced through the spiral. Partly nerves, and also a reflection of our general speed in life. Uh oh! Life has been busy and very full for us. We celebrate that we have such full lives and that we have many opportunities lately with work, family, school and community. And now it's also time for a pause. We've created events this month at Elan to help you create space for celebration, suc
