Happy New Year and Best wishes for 2025!
2024 had a few challenges for me with many exciting times to follow.
After months of planning, Johannes Reindl came to Bracebridge for 10 days. Johannes faciltated wonderful workshops sharing his experience, strengths and hopes as Grand Master and Lineage Bearer.
In October the Labyrinth at Annie Williams Park was built. Right now it is under 3 ft of snow and in the spring the grass seed will germinate and it will be ready to walk in June for a Grand Opening. I have been working on this project for 4 years and it has happened and I am thrilled!
At the beginning of November I developed a very serious illness - a rare viral pneumonia and life went from bad to worse. I spent the remainder of the year in the hospital. The Doctors and Nurses that looked after me were amazing and were able to keep me alive. At this point I remember very little of the past 2 months - only what family and doctor and nurses have told me.
During this time I have had so many Spiritual Groups and Individuals sending their
Love and Support
Prayers
and Beautiful Reiki
A huge thank you for all the Distance and Hands On Reiki that has been sent my way.
Without question you have brought me back to life!!
Ten days ago I came home and although a little slower than my liking I am recovering. This Monday I start physical therapy and will be ready to walk the Labryinth in the spring.
And last but not least thank you to all my family and friends who have supported me through this time. You are incredible!
Love and Big Reiki Hugs
Be Reiki Do Reiki …
A couple of weeks ago Karen Armstrong reminded me of a quote that Anita Levin loves to say:
Be Reiki Do Reiki
So what does it mean to me? First - Practice, Practice and Practice. Using and living the Precepts. And then sharing my passion for Reiki. That’s important to me.
What does Be Reiki Do Reiki mean to you?

Bringing Joy to Your Thoughts …
Your choices of action may be limited—but your choices of thought are not.
Watching my grandchildren find absolute joy playing with hulla hoops this summer brought a huge smile to my face. What fun they were having!
Took my mind back to when I was a kid out on our driveway with my sisters playing with our hulla hoops. Geat memories and such joy.
Allow yourself to enjoy a happy thought and feel the joy!
New Beginnings and/or Restoring Order
September brings new beginnings and or sometimes a restore to order.
A step in a new direction, no matter how small, will build momentum for new beginnings.
For me September often brings a need to restore order and perhaps new beginnings. Either, always brings with it a feeling of hope and energy. Uplifting!
What does September bring to you?
Letting Go …
Do you have a questions or problem that is rattling around inside you?
Often my focus goes to the question or the problem and not the solution or answer. This summer has taught me to let go and feel the anticipation of the solution and the answer. They will come so much more easily and with such clarity. This process is so much more satisfying!
Give letting go a try …
Johannes Reindl - Bracebridge …
It’s been just over a month since Johannes went home to Austria.
I learned so much; about Reiki, about Johannes, about myself and about the process of being. What an experience!
For those that were here to help - thank you. You are incredible.
For those that came to participate - thank you. Without your participation the workshops wouldn’t have been a great success.
And of course - thank you Johannes Reindl for sharing yourself with us!

Reiki Calms every fibre in my body …
This spring I became overwhelmed with what I am working on and how it is unfolding and of course adding people, places and things to the mix.
Panic attacks and anxiety have been a big part of my life and I actually thought they were in my past. Well earlier in May I had one that came on when life was getting to big for me.
Thankfully I have Reiki to pull my mind and body out of panic and come to a calm rational place.
And yes - Reiki calms every fibre in my body!
Becoming a Friend with Social Media …
Yesterday I met with Robyn Henke, my social media Guru, and discussed my dilema. I love my website and want to send out the same energy to Instagram and Facebook. So how?
Her answer: “It’s just a channel to have a conversation with someone new.”
Okay I can do that.
Today I am going to start here with my old friends and talk about
Why I love Reiki….
Calms every fibre in my body
Gives me patience in dealing with others
Helps me to see problems clearly
Helps me to solves those same problems
Allows me to let upsets slip away
Guides me in knowing when to own my stuff
Also guides me to let others have their stuff
Gives me unconditional Love so I can pass it along
Guides me to Love others and not always have to like them
Its’ a hug that doesn’t let go
Allows me to have faith in the path I am walking
Gives me energy to live in my life today with great Joy
That is just a few thoughts and over time more to come.
Enliven Wellness Fair
Today is Enliven Wellness Fair at Bracebridge Legion. I have participated in this event for the past 6 years and always have a wonderful day.
If you, a friend or family member have been touched by Cancer come check it out! Lots of support and rescources for you.
Come by and say hi and receive a Big Reiki Hug.
Reiki and Disabilities …
Earlier this month this little rabbit turned 44 and is doing so well. New medication has enhanced his life and ours.
At the end of March I restuctured the Reiki First degree course and taught him the basics of Reiki. Amazing what Self-Reiki can do to a person.
All in all teaching him was an incredible experience.
Imagine what learning Reiki can do for you!
