July 19 to 25, 2026 This week started with me hauling water as it usually does. On my way, I noticed a grey van passing me. I thought that the driver looked similar to my brother who lives 2 ½ hours away. I knew it wasn’t him, but I also dismissed the thought based on the idea I had in my mind that my brother drives an orange van. The same day, my mom texted to tell me that this brother was coming down that day to stay with them for a few days. I visited him that evening

July 12 to 18, 2026 I’m not even sure how to start off my recap of the week. I was out for supper Sunday night because I had an urge to leave the house and be somewhere else and it happened to be around mealtime. This doesn’t happen often as I am a true homebody and love being in my space. The supper didn’t end up being as tasty as I would have liked and that maybe sums up this week best. It was lacking in delivery of my expectations and full of weird energy. Maybe it was

July 5 to 11, 2026 Every time I sit down to write about my week, I have a hard time remembering what happened at the start. It’s not that I’m incredibly busy, but that each day feels full of either lessons, activities, or both, while at the same time not feeling particularly stressful. This week did start out with a trip to the city for groceries, which is something I prefer to save for weekdays. I was in a great mood despite the busyness and energy of the city and recei

June 28 to July 4 I had three different lessons this week around exposure, vulnerability, and discernment, each of which are required when attracting new people into my life and my business. They were all online experiences and each one taught me something valuable about myself. The first was a free webinar offered by someone in my field who has had an online successful presence for years. The second was a proposal I’d made, offering a hypnotherapy session in exchange for

June 21 to 27, 2026 This week started with Father’s Day, contained two afternoons and evenings of graduation events, a day of heightened energy and chicken coop building, followed by a few days of rest. I had many emotional ups and downs this week and resulting energy shifts as well. Big feelings at the start of the week had me investigating the source, releasing an old identity, and shifting into a happier and healthier me, which was likely needed in order to survive the r

June 14 to 20, 2026 The week started with a new moon, meaning time for planting new seeds, calling in new ideas and inspiration, and setting new intentions. The chicks and turkeys arrived this week a day earlier than expected. They’ll be indoors for quite a while as they need warmth, containment, and regular monitoring. Additionally, there’s not enough room for them in the coop we currently have and we’ve yet to start building the next one, so they really have no other pla

June 7 to 13, 2026 This week started with contact from a potential client and ended with a completed session, a new connection made, and a happy customer. This showed me that my small action of putting myself out there on a local social media page could result in finding likeminded people who are interested in what I have to offer. I’d been struggling with this belief for quite a while, thinking that no one near me would even know what hypnotherapy was. Now, I’ve got a con

May 31 to June 6, 2026 This week started out with a blue moon, meaning there were two full moons within the same month. The last time this occurred was almost three years ago and we were signing papers on our new home and acreage, which I unofficially named Blue Moon Acres. This was the start of a new and transformational time in my life, and I can’t help but feel like the timing of this blue moon means the ending of that chapter. I spent about two thirds of my time here u

May 24 to 30, 2026 This week, I had a hypnotherapy session with my sister, attended another follow up surgery appointment with my partner, planted more trees, cut some grass, cleaned and reorganized three rooms in our house, helped my parents with some finances, and emptied, repaired and refilled our cistern. Moving through it, it didn’t feel that busy, but looking back I can see the magnitude of it. We had a porcupine visit this week. He or she took a liking to a comfy spo

May 17 to 23, 2026 This week started for me with a low mood. I was struggling with visibility again and finances and feeling the strain of all of it. Knowing that at some point I have to come out of hiding and tell people as well as show them who I am is starting to become a reality and with that reality comes fear. I don’t really care what people think because I know what my path is and it just feels right to me. I’m not looking for their validation. I think I’m worried

May 10 to 16, 2026 This week started with Mother’s day and ended with a new moon. I planted around 160 of my free trees, got a sunburn, figured out the watering system for the garden with my partner, made salsa, and went on a 15 hour road trip to buy a car. The weather still can’t decide what season it is, so every day involved multiple wardrobe changes and adjusting the thermostat in the house. We had sun, wind, rain and snow this week, which is fairly typical for a Saska

May 3 to 9, 2026 This week brought more fish for the pond, more trips to the city, connection with family, and a potential new job. I’ve been feeling like I’m not dedicated enough to my future and making my business a priority. Yet, each time I reach out to offer or try to push something, I’m received with quiet. It’s hard not to view this as failure, but I remind myself that pushing and hustling is the old world way and won’t work for me. In the new world, I want to ebb

April 26 to May 2, 2026 This past week felt busier than many before. We’ve finally had some spring-like weather near the end of the week, which means I’ve been able to get out and do some yard work and garden preparation. I’ve also had appointments in the city, meaning three trips instead of my usual one or none. My trips to the city included picking up my free trees, getting bloodwork done, buying groceries, visiting the dentist, completing a physical, and grabbing necess

April 19 to 25, 2026 I spent this week attempting to shed an old identity while simultaneously stepping into a new one. True, I have been trying to do this for a while now, but I feel like this week I really felt things happening. As I mentioned last week, I volunteered to be a client for a current hypnotherapy class and had a great session. I tackled some fears that I feel are still holding me back from fully stepping into my hypnotherapist identity. The session was am

April 12 to 18, 2026 This week brought a new moon as well as many planets moving into the fiery sign of Aries, the god of war. Aries is known for forward motion, and I guess this is mostly why I’ve been feeling a lot of rage and anger lately. I think it is most likely my inner self trying to light a fire under me and get me moving. I’ve felt like a pendulum this week, and possibly for the past few, swinging far into anger and movement on one end, then sadness and stillness

April 5 to 12, 2026 This week was Easter, a time of new beginnings. I hosted, which isn’t normal for me and did cause a small amount of anxiety, but everything worked out fine. I didn’t see my side of the family, which is also unusual. My parents regularly host some version of every holiday, and I am happy my mom got a break from taking care of everyone. I even forgot to send Happy Easter messages to everyone, but they did too, so no hard feelings. We did connect afterwa

March 29 to April 4, 2026 Looking back at this week, I’m not exactly sure what happened. Days are slipping into weeks that are slipping into months and things feel like they are standing still all at the same time. I know I’ve had some more anger this week and some boundaries revealed as well as more truths. I think the biggest lessons I learned is that just because people might be awake and aware, they aren’t necessarily right for me or safe in the ways I need them to be.

March 22 to 28, 2026 This week was one of mending, healing, shedding, rearranging, examining, exploring, and so much more. It began with deep difficult emotions, holding space and staying grounded, and then speaking my truth. It wasn’t something I planned, and it wasn’t something I knew the outcome of and possibly, I still don’t. There’s a lot going on in the background of my quiet life and I’ll leave it at that, but it truly feels like the caterpillar has turned to goo an

March 15 to 21, 2026 There was so much that happened this week that I can’t even discuss it in this post. I need time to process and integrate and embody it all, but there was a lot of heartbreak and I guess that makes sense after the rise of the rage. My son hit a monumental birthday and is now an adult, so I am grieving the child he once was while celebrating the man he is becoming. On the same day that happened, I accidentally killed my cat who was a symbol of emotional

March 8 to 14, 2026 This week, I’ve felt a lot of rage rising within me. Some of it is old, some of it is relational, some of it is societal, and some of it is new. Rage is a hard thing to talk about and to deal with, especially for women. This world tells men that they are allowed to feel and express rage and anger, but practically nothing else. Women, on the other hand, are expected to be emotional, but this isn’t seen as a strength. This world wants us to be happy, su
