Overcoming Adversity – Survival of the Spirit

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:57-04:00January 31st, 2011|Crisis, Loss and Renewal, Guest Blogggers & Interviews|

History has proven time and time again that the resilient nature of the human spirit will ultimately triumph when faced with adversity. Although challenges present themselves in a variety of ways, few of us are untouched by adversity. When we find ourselves in difficult times we must refrain from seeing ourselves as the Captain of a sinking ship but rather at the helm of a vessel that is riding a wave. The waters will be calm again for such is the natural ebb and flow of life.

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00January 23rd, 2011|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

It appears that many of the health benefits of fitness classes for post-partum women like these, including improved cardiovascular fitness, improved muscular strength and endurance, better posture and enhanced flexibility actually only scratch the surface. Psychologists and scientists alike are discovering the healing power of female friendships, including lowering blood pressure, boosting immunity, and promoting healing.

The Gift of Magi

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00December 17th, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

The gift of the Magi, the simplicity and magic of this thing we call life was the teaching from our Christmas story. This season is all about joy, peace and love; learning how to love ourselves so courageously that we finally accept our own self worth, the one with no price tag! We are all priceless.

Prioritizing Healthy Eating

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00December 2nd, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

Developing healthy eating habits early in life can lead to a lifetime of healthy living, so get started today! Involve your children in the menu planning, grocery shopping and food preparation whenever possible. Keep your pantry and refrigerator stocked with affordable choices of fresh, frozen and canned fruit and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grain cereal, pastas and lean meats and alternative protein options. Then slow down and enjoy it all!

It’s Just Us

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00November 30th, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership, Guest Blogggers & Interviews|

While we don’t always look in the right places, wanting to be happy, safe, healthy, and cared for are part of our common nature. Practicing compassion and generosity can be healing and contagious. Listening to each other allows us an opportunity to connect at a basic human level.

Remembrance Day Surprises

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:59-04:00November 12th, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

Remembrance Day held many surprises this year. I am normally very aware of the time, 11/11, holding that minute in a precious space of gratitude, as I acknowledge all who gave in service. Always I am aware of the conflict, honouring war; fighting for peace. In truth I have never understood the operating principles of this planet very well, not until now that is.

Causes of the Heart: A Case Study

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:59-04:00November 5th, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership, Guest Blogggers & Interviews|

More and more people are responding to need where they see it. My first experience with these causes of the heart (which Nicholas Kristof recently coined as DIY Foreign Aid) was through the work of my dear friend, Maria Miller, and her friend, Sasha Bilar, who co-founded Toys for Thailand (T4T). T4T provides support for orphaned, abandoned, and refugee Hill Tribe children in remote villages in Northern Thailand.

Transforming Design

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:59-04:00September 2nd, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership, Guest Blogggers & Interviews|

Artists and designers are creatively using others’ castoffs in this economy to create chic, reusable and recycled works of art, including bridal gowns. Transforming dresses, paintings, furniture, homes, trash, or all manner of items into something new, something creative, something else is similar to our own growth and changes in life—using the raw material of our experiences to make new ones is what we do.

Making Space in Our Lives

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:00-04:00June 28th, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

All the noise we create by structuring our lives to collect things can actually be a way of building a monument of distraction. The rise of the organizing and storage industries—not to mention all the communication pathways and devices used to collect and store messages and information—speak to how distracted and fragmented we’ve become.
