Ahhhh, September. A wonderful summer is coming to an end and my favourite season is right around the corner. The trees where I live are already beginning to change colour reminding us that Fall is definitely a season of change.
It has been a wonderful summer here in Queenston, Niagara on the Lake. July was hot and somewhat rainy but August could not have been more perfect. Still hot and humid but you could feel the coolness creeping into the air early mornings and into the evening. I enjoyed many visits with friends this summer, a fabulous garden party in my home, continued visits to wineries, bike rides, patio dining, pickle ball and lots and lots of theatre.
As a Docent for the Shaw Festival, I had the privilege of seeing all the plays this season as well as conducting back stage tours and hosting patrons at all theatres. There is always something to do in this town and I am grateful to have found a number of different groups of friends to do things with.
September is always my new year. I don't make resolutions in January but I do make changes in September. More organizing and lifestyle changes. From enjoying all the region has to offer in the way of wines and cheeses, it's now about health and fitness and self care along with building both my coaching and aromatherapy businesses.
I am looking forward to partnering with local businesses to conduct vision board and aromatherapy workshops.
I have enjoyed a summer of outdoor yoga in my neighbourhood and look forward to kicking things up a bit with the cooler weather and heading indoors for more spin, pilates, weight training and swimming.
And who knows, another lovely canine companion may find their way into my home and my heart.

Stay tuned...............

It's been 2 months since I've posted. As all will know by now, I said good bye to my sweet Ella on April 5th. It was a rainy, dreary day and fitting for the occasion. I struggled with the decision and read article after article about the right time to make the horrible decision and one line stood out to me and read "better a week too early than a day too late". Did Ella have more time to give? Of course. Isn't that what animals do, give it their all for our sake? She could certainly handle more walks to the river and rides in the car and wanders in the yard, but at what cost? Was she happy? Was she in pain? Was she in any discomfort? It is my duty as her parent to monitor her and know when she has had enough. Ella lived her life with such wonderful energy and dignity and I chose to let her leave this world with that same dignity.
I have lived without her for over 2 months now and I keep myself busy and put on a happy face and I think I comfort people by not showing my pain but this house is not a home without a dog. My life is not complete without a furry companion to take me for walks, remind me of the beauty of the nature that surrounds me, to let me see how people just smile when they see a sweet pup approaching and company when all is still and quiet.
There will be another dog in my life. It's been said that the best compliment you can pay to the pet that you've lost is to get another, not as a replacement but to show them what a huge void they have left in their life. I'm sure and I hope that Ella has found her "person" up there and I'm sure that Ella would be happy for me to find my companion down here.
There will never be another Ella. I aways say we rescued each other at just the right time and like Dallas, Dixie and Gypsy, these wonderful past pets are still forever loved and never forgotten.

I always love how profound statements find me when I most need them. My sweet Ella is not well and we are taking life one day at a time. I have been in worry mode since she stopped enjoying her meals almost a month ago and then with the diagnosis of liver cancer. But...... I am learning to just let things go, enjoy the days and moments I have with her and allow her to just "be". She is my priority and I am allowing her to dictate how her day plays out. I will cast worry aside and just believe that she is still enjoying life and with this belief comes comfort.

Thought for the day. So simple, yet so profound

03/03/2019

A thought to start your day.

03/01/2019

It is 8 am on March 1st and I love this quote and it truly reflects this day. -15 degree temps with a beautiful vibrant sunrise and a wee bit of warmth.
A new month and so many new opportunities.
7 months now in my sweet house in my adorable village in my wonderful town. Queenston, Niagara-on-the-Lake and I have never been happier or more content.
While the winter or at least February has been quite brutal I have still managed to get out daily either for beautiful nature filled walks with Ella in my neighbourhood or to our lovely main street in old town.
New fitness regimes at a new studio where friends are made quickly through grunts and sweat, continued social activities with new found friends, but also the down time to close things down and cocoon in the comfort of my home at night.
After an audition, believe it or not, I scored the role of Docent with the Shaw Festival which is promising to keep me very busy this coming season and I have the privilege of sitting in on first readings, rehearsals and shows. I have also aligned myself with a wonderful charity called Red Roof Retreat who caters to special needs youth and adults and their families and on an 11.5 acre ranch with a plethora of therapy animals, my coaching and aromatherapy workshops are sure to be a hit.
Beginning in April I will be working in the sweetest Apothecary shop in town selling all natural products and while they are not my own, it will still inspire me to concentrate on the therapy side of Body Soup For The Soul.
My partner in crime, Ella continues to thrive and takes me on the most amazing walks and has become well known in and outside of our village.
So, a new month has arrived with hope. Hope for warmer days, and end to the cold and snow and more adventures and opportunities. Welcome March indeed .

For me, just have to work on getting to bed early.

Ahhhhh December. The final month of the year. It's the time of year to wind down, enjoy the festivities and all the season has to offer before a new year begins. I always love to look back and reflect on how my year unfolded with warm memories and no regrets.
This was a year of change for sure. In a few mere months, I was enveloped in the purging, packing, staging and listing my home of 30 years all while my sweet Ella performed in the Mirvish production of Annie. This dog taught me what it means to rise above challenges and find your aha moments. For 48 shows I would stand side stage holding my breath while waiting for her to "perfect' her role and each and every night I would end up in tears at her attempts, and most times, her ability to nail it. She did me proud. We would return to our home that wasn't our home. Different furniture, decorations and often having to leave on short notice for showings, did not sway her or affect her lovely personality in anyway.
Then, the house sold and we hit the ground running, finishing up packing, putting things in storage and making a few visits to my new house in Niagara on the Lake. This is a town where I was meant to be. From the moment I turned the key and had a few minutes to myself before the movers arrived, I truly felt at home. I did not move here to be sedentary and completely and quickly inserted myself into my neighbourhood and town. I have met the nicest people ever and have developed some very strong friendships. I manage 2 social media sites and am getting well known just for my photos alone. My business's have been on a bit of a hiatus but I hope to change that in the new year and resurrect my coaching practice as well as create some new aromatherapy products and workshops. People are asking for it. I am often told I am brave to have made such a move on my own, but I don't really see it as brave. I am grateful, not lucky to be in a position where I have the ability to make my own decisions and live the life I choose within reason. I don't have to ask anyone for permission and failing just is not an option. I will find the good in any situation.
I miss my friends and I miss my beach but i am settling in nicely and am as busy as I wish to be but also am very content to just chill on my own. Ella and I wander and discover something new everyday.
This is also my birthday month and I hit another milestone birthday. I will celebrate with friends and neighbours in my home and have a real bash in the summer months at a beautiful winery or Inn. I am excited to be travelling again with my lovely daughter for Christmas and this year finds us surrounded by the beauty of Austria. Some fun time in London, Vienna and Salzburg and then home to gear up for the new year. I look forward to new challenges in 2019. Continued good health, more meaningful relationships and finding some fun and exciting work to accompany my self employment. And, I am always open to a wonderful new and special romance. Here's to saying goodbye to a wonderful 2018 and to all the new adventures that 2019 will bring.

08/06/2018

It's a new week of a new month and I am sitting in my new home.
It has been almost a week and I could not love this place more. Leaving my beach home of 30 years, I was worried that I would miss it and possibly regret my decision to move,but that has not been the case.
I love my house and with each unpacked box, it is slowly but surely becoming home. It is bright and open and airy and it has enveloped me and has already made me feel safe and sound. My neighbours have been openly friendly with invitations for get together's to even offering to take care of Ella when needed.
As I plunge myself into local events, I have to say I have not found a nicer population of people. Many are natives and many are newbies like me, but the general consensus is, we are fortunate and grateful to live here.
Ella has settled in after a whirlwind last few months and so much upheaval. I love seeing her so settled. We have discovered the river, some beaches, and she is getting used to our massive backyard.
I am a person who rarely, if ever looks back or regrets anything and while I am going to miss my beach neighbourhood and my neighbours and friends in Toronto, I live each day knowing that I made the right decision and hopefully will inspire others to follow.
In the midst of all the unpacking, I got word that my eldest brother Barry passed away the other night. That brought along a flurry of emotions. Once our parents passed away, my siblings and I seemed to really go our separate ways getting together for selected special events. There are significant age differences and my brother was 20 years older than me. It is sad for me because even though I was 4 when he married and left home, I really liked him and he and I never had any relationship issues.
What his death has done, has opened conversation between myself and my other siblings. I am hoping that perhaps our loss will bring us together to care for one another again.
Next Sunday we will meet in Sarnia to celebrate our brother's life and see where we go from there.
I am grateful that I am a person that thrives on change and dislikes routine.
Let's see what new adventures await and what new memories are created.

Well, it’s been a few months since I’ve posted on this
page. It’s July 1st, Canada Day and I have some time to relax and linger over a coffee so thought I would post. Where has the time gone? Life has certainly been crazy to say the least. My sweet pup Ella was cast in the Mirvish production of Annie and rehearsals and performances began just as I was staging, packing, and listing my house for sale. Life as we knew it was gone. We were living in our house surrounded by other furnishings and strange people entering daily. Our schedules were thrown off with double show days and late night performances resulting in bad eating habits and little sleep. But....we soldiered on, made new friends, had a blast and sold our house. I have been living in this house for 30 years. It has housed myself, 2 husbands(at different times) a daughter and countless pets. I love my cottage house and some of my wonderful neighbours and of course my beloved Beach, but felt it time for a change and a new adventure. I found the perfect house back in March. I fell in love with the street before even seeing the house and once I did, that was it. In my mind I am already there. I have wanted to live in the beautiful Niagara on the Lake for many many years. We used to go there when I was a child, I took Carleigh there as well for the theatre, Steve and I honeymooned there and then celebrated our first anniversary there as well, so I really feel I have roots in my new Village and town. I will miss my community and my access to friends but am excited for all the opportunities my new home will provide. It is such a friendly place with so much to do. And of course there is always the wine 🍷. I consider myself most fortunate to have the ability and the bravery to make such a change and am excited to see how all plays out. There will always be a bed, a bottle of wine and stimulating conversation for anyone who wishes to visit.

Another new month. I am always happy to see March. While not my most favourite months, it's appearance signifies a step closer to spring and rejuvenation. While I don't hate the winter, I'm just usually happy to see it find it's way out. I do appreciate the shorter days and more opportunities to cocoon, but I love the noticeable warmth the March sun brings to the air, the later sunrises and later sunsets. Less cocooning and more outdoor planning. Those who have unfortunately been housebound due to a cold and snowy winter, are now able to get out and about and there is a definite positive vibe in the air. I hope to pack away my salt ruined boots, and heavy coat in favour of lighter wear and look forward to seeing and catching up with friends and neighbours. Have a great month. ~Gail~
