Bridge your Heart and Mind

I’m thrilled to share that my recent workshop was a tremendous success! Though it was a small group, the quality of connections and shared insights was truly remarkable. Participants engaged in self-explorative discussions, and we collectively explored our perspectives on life. We recognized that what we see may not always reflect our truth, and that there are often deeper realities we may find challenging to confront.

Throughout the workshop, we emphasized the power of mindfulness through affirmations and journaling, creating an environment where transformation can truly happen. By stepping out of our comfort zones, we can unlock our potential and take risks that lead us to our authentic selves. Following our hearts allows us to discover our passion and purpose in life.

We also utilized vision boards as a powerful tool to help participants visualize their goals and stay aligned with their aspirations. This creative process serves as a personal guideline and a medium for their hearts to communicate their desires, guiding each individual towards a future full of possibility.

As each participant walked away, I felt the energy and confidence they gained from our time together. My wish is for this newfound empowerment to continue growing, encouraging them to embrace their truths, even when the journey is challenging. Remember, stepping out of your comfort zone and listening to your heart are key to personal growth!

I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead such inspiring sessions, and I look forward to witnessing how their journeys unfold as they bridge between their heart and mind! Remember to focus on Wealth, Success, Joy, Happiness, Health, Strength… now work it in the subconscious mind!

Here are a few examples of dreams and aspirations -as they stepped into their own personal portal of manifestation.

WomanKind

Today is International Women’s Day and I want to express that We are powerful beyond means, we have everything we need, our strength, bravery, resilience, brilliance, wisdom, courage, compassion, love and kindness. Together that’s a formula so powerful that makes the world a better place beyond imaginable. We have that power, all of We!

When I say ‘WE’, I embrace all individuals who identify as women in any capacity, honoring the diverse experiences and identities that reflect womankind historically, currently and beyond 🌎 in the context of international women’s day today but not limited to all of mankind.

We are our own hero. We are the CEO of our lives. We have the right to make our own decisions. We are strong and focussed and the creative intelligent power we hold manifest perfectly as the universe. We celebrate Womankind power today and everyday!

And as we raise our hands together towards the stars and we express out loud, verbally a unified expression POWE!! 💪 we ultimately, collectively elevate ourselves to a higher power.

Happy International Womenkind Day!PoWe!!

Got any Spare Love?

Raising funds is not easy and we really want to support all the families that have asked for help, and we truly hope they shall receive and rightfully so. We want to Give.

I don’t want to say no to any of them and at the same time I have made promises to just a few. There are more families than there are funds.

There are new families this year, the grandfathered ones from over the last many years- 20 years in fact, the length of time I’ve been in this position of community outreach.

I’m waiting for more resources to come our way….more funds to support our families during the holiday season. I wait with anticipation

The holidays is not easy for many many families… I believe it’s the hardest time of the year and I don’t think they hear those jingles ringing when they’re worried about giving presents for their loved ones or how they can provide a traditional holiday dinner.

This time of year has many demands and expectations and if we could just bring a little comfort, a little peace of mind, it will make a huge difference, more than we really really know.

When we help, when we extend our hearts it not only provides a sense of belonging but an opportunity for them to receive and to turn around to give because after all isn’t that what it’s all about- a circle of love?

Everyone deserves to receive and everyone deep down wants to give as well, it’s innate, it’s an expression of humanity and raises our karmic vibration too.

We need to grow more love, we need to see it, feel it, give it and sustain it. This is how I believe we nurture community.

How to raise more funds so we can create a ripple effect of love for those that need it most. All they need is to be seen.

I sit here looking out the window wondering what more can I do…this is my attempt. Do you have any spare love?

Twenty Twenty Two, Here I Am!

2022, I plan to continue living a resilient life, acting on acts of kindness and a daily gentle reminder of all the reasons to be grateful. I will be aware of my presence, follow my heart and listen to what my heart desires with healthy boundaries. I will do my best to be my best and continue to make room in my day to day consciousness to do better in all aspects.

If I can accomplish the slightest in all those areas then I’m doing okay. Oh yes, and to remember to be gentle to myself and if I stray away from my goals, my vision for myself? … well…I will get back on track and persue the plan to manifest the day to day purposeful life as best I can.

I will remember, my very existence is the precious deal! Fortune to be given the ticket to walk this earth! I will continue to make the best of it! I value change and the opportunity to make change and know it’s inevitable and that’s okay because Twenty Twenty Two, here I am!

Eva you got this!

With love

Among us Women-Entre Nous Femmes

The History

Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society was founded in 1984 by three women who wanted to make life better for themselves and for other single mothers and their children.

The founders believed that providing safe and affordable housing was the first step in creating positive futures for families. ENF is one of the first housing development organizations created and led by women in Canada and has a proud tradition of naming our buildings after the grandmothers of our founders.

We continue to honor our legacy of inclusiveness, hope, determination, and social justice as passed down from the grandmothers through the creation of affordable, diverse and healthy communities for families, single parents and seniors in the lower mainland.

26 years I’ve lived here. I raised two daughters and raise my granddaughter here. This is me, this is where I live, and here is where my memories and the history of my family lives. My soul is rooted here. How can you take that away from me? How do I tell my kids and my grandkids that I will be moving and I don’t know where I’m going and I have to move all the archives of my life from the walls, the pencil marks of their growth chart, the life I built here in and all its treasures secured in all the nooks and crannies of my home with precious family memoirs firmly attached to the spirit of my beautiful home. Even the tree growing outside my balcony is a part of me and the heritage of this building. In addition, the love for my neighbours, always there for me, I’m always there for them. We take care of each other, we help each other and we want to grow old with each other. This community within Alma Blackwell is one of a kind and it resonates such beautiful energy where we are all doing our very best to live and raise our children and better ourselves for a brighter future. Here is where I live. We live here!

Step out the comfort zone and watch the magic happen and learn!

Mom just wondered “what mistakes didn’t I make? After all we all learn from our mistakes. We certainly learn from the ones we did make …well what about the ones we didn’t make…? So we just don’t know what we don’t know! Maybe just maybe there was more to know in this lifetime, what have I missed out on?

My Mom, fighting life with Multiple Myeloma and yet continuous to contemplate profound questions. Gives us all something to think about.

Secrets

It’s taken me two years to post this. I kept it in draft all this time ignoring it. I now feel it’s a safe space among us bloggers and readers to post. There is nothing to hide.

I was standing at a bus stop holding my face up to the sun thinking about current relations in my life when suddenly I realized just how many events and experiences in my life have been kept a secret! How many relationships held a secret in one way or another. I was standing there just floored by the sudden thought… the pattern just never occurred to me.

Especially men, my fathers violence towards my mother, my suppressed marriage, my first new relationship after ending a 16 year marriage, and finally my new found love and discovering his addiction to alcohol that regrettably took his life 15 years ago.

Secrets kept are not healthy, when secrets are held within they will begin to simmer, then boil and gradually overflow or explode and thats when it becomes dangerous. There is resentment, grudges and hateful feelings not only to the significant other you are keeping the secret about but to your precious self as well. There will be damage. It’s destructive. You can’t stay boxed in holding on to the secret, because to suppress your feelings and not let your feelings be told only turns negative itself and creates a weakness. One way or another you will be affected. The positive side to this cause and effect is if you catch it in time you can rebel and reveal the truth, reconcile in time before there is too much damage done. You can break away from the solitude, it won’t be easy, their will be challenges but in the long run you will be set free!

Set yourself free!

I’m unlocking one more secret….after all secrets of love is not meant to be hidden only celebrated. I have to make a choice. I’m beginning to feel the freedom.

I am strong, I can do this.

I’m here.

love eva

My Vision For You

It took me longer than expected to find the words to reflect the value of my work. I wanted it to be as authentic as possible with images and phrases snipped out of magazine that resonates my desires and passion for you to reach a place of awakening.

At one point I overwhelmed myself with snips and I chuckled over my enthusiastic intent to say and deliver the many empowering messages. I did discover however that there was more that met my eye as I searched for those messages because the activity itself guided me to a realm that impacted me profoundly. I became fixated on an energy that lifted me like a wave and came to a definite conclusion that my life’s work has just begun.

There is more for me to do and offer and grow from and I just can’t wait to discover it all. I am grateful to the stars for guiding me to a place of anticipation and excitement.

I wish the same for you.

Talking Stick

Raven Eagle Talking Stick carved by George Matllpi

My experience

The nature of the talking stick provides us the opportunity to speak from our hearts and mind. When used in a peace circle it provides the circle to process what is being said and be heard without judgement. It paces our time. When the stick is passed to you, it is only your words being spoken. With intent, your words are received with openness and provide a path to understanding. It’s a tool of communication to solve problems or to gather deeper insights in any situation.

The beauty of the talking stick is the golden moments of thought process we share with reflection, respect and consideration. While the collective sounds of our heartbeat paces our thoughts, we courageously find our voice to share in a peace circle without interruptions. It takes time, presence and mindfulness.

Each time I participated in a circle-surprising encounters of awareness occurs, resulting in a deeper sense of appreciation for humanity. This tradition is so valuable and vital to our ways of communication, if only we can use it more in our systems such as law, government, schools, mediation…did I mention gov’t?

I would like to share my gratitude to Dr. Evelyn Zellerer, founder of Peace of the Circle, for her graceful and impeccable directions and facilitation training on leading a peace circle at my work place, Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House. My experiences were always positive feelings of enlightenment and a sense of common ground.

The photo represents the talking stick given to me as a gift from a friend of mine named Rudy/George Matilpi (First Nations carver Kwakiutl from Alert Bay). It is depicting the Raven and majestic Eagle. I am grateful for his gift and I will use it in our future work with community.

I am honored.

With much love, gratitude, understanding, and friendship.
