This was 2019. I had appeared on stage at Yuk Yuk's Ottawa in 2018 and got good revues..( I was asked to come back)  I had just started my journey to me... I was filled with terror, and of course second guessed myself mercilessly after.  I chose to go with the flow... When you are becoming congruent within, you begin to create the opportunities you have surrepticiously dreamed about since you were a child. This dream come true opportunity can be almost an assault when the Universe calls you out! " Step right Up and perform on stage" the universe/God/Creator whatever your term is for the divine hand that fulfills our true desires. This was the second opportunity for me to do stand up comedy in the last year since I began to step into my fully realized self. 

Not all my episodes can be upbeat. this is a very tough week for many who have already suffered a lot.  Just Keep breathing no matter what ...

A small poem with a big message, I hope it speaks to you too.  keep it in your heart.. and Keep breathing! ♥ ♥ ♥

The holidays can be tough, when you are missing someone, or a few someone's it can make the holidays even tougher.  Use your good memories to help you make it through ♥ My hope for you is to make it through and have many joyful moments to savour.

In this episode I talk about using your good memories to help you stay positive. To help craft your reality, to mold your choices, to decide on your outlook. You can only change you. You and your perception can be molded to choose a more positive outlook. Start with even one good memory and like beads struck together to make a necklace, you can make a virtual string of memory beads, to pull out and savour in times of need. A useful little tool to have in your life toolbox and of course as always.. Keep breathing! Elaine
