People travel from around the world to visit the incredible gardens in Victoria. We're visiting Butchart Gardens again today. I thought you might enjoy this video from July 2025. Where is the most beautiful place you've ever visited?

It was such a treat to meet Ryan for coffee. We have so much in common ... Skool, Peace, Sacred Writing, Eneagram and numerology. And then I took the long way back.

Open an old note, page, or recording you have kept. Read or listen without grading it. Mark one part that still interests you. Ask why you kept it. There may be a useful sentence, a question, or a memory worth exploring. You can keep that part without committing to the whole old project. “The part I still want to explore is…”

Sometimes we're so focused on improving what we've written that we overlook the wisdom we've already expressed. In this short video, I guide Ryan Clark through a moment of grounding and reflection, inviting him to connect with his heart and recognize his writing as an expression of his higher self. One question I invite him to explore is: “Is what I've written the highest version for my soul journey?” Before deciding what needs to change, we can give ourselves space to recognize what has already come through. What have you discovered about yourself through the act of writing?

Today is Thanksgiving Sunday, and it’s my Dad’s heavenly birthday. Six years ago, on October 11, 2020, I wrote a reflection about my relationship with him. At the time, I was recognizing how much of my life I’d spent seeking his love, approval, and acceptance, and how my own inner work had helped me see our relationship differently. My Dad married my Mom and adopted my sister Margot and me when I was three. Because of him, I also have my brother Greg. There are so many layers to a life together, and not all of them are easy to understand while we’re living them. One thing I’ve come to appreciate is that love doesn’t always arrive in the form we expect or wish for. Sometimes it takes years, distance, loss, and a willingness to examine our own stories before we recognize what a relationship has taught us. Today I’m driving to Vancouver to celebrate Thanksgiving and another family birthday. My cousin’s wife shares this date with Dad. On Tuesday, my Aunt and I will travel to Vancouver Island to visit my brother and his beautiful partner. There is something lovely about spending four hours driving and remembering traveling these high mountain passes with my parents. And feeling grateful for the people who are no longer physically here, like my parents and my sister, while celebrating the people who are. What if gratitude isn’t about being thankful only for the moments we cherish? What if it is also about recognizing how the complicated ones have shaped our capacity to love, understand, and appreciate the lives we’ve been given. Happy heavenly birthday, Dad. Thank you for loving me in your way, and for being part of the woman I’ve become. As you think about the people who have shaped your life, whose love have you come to understand differently over time? Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends. 💜 Trust what’s yours, Pamela
