A Little More About My Journey — And the Place I Call Home
Many of you have come to know me through Time For Self, but there is so much more to my journey than the work I do today.
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to share my personal story in a local magazine—reflecting on the journey that brought my husband Murray and me to Red Deer, the importance of family, the friendships and community connections we've made, and how my own path eventually led me to create Time For Self in 2006.
Looking back, I realize how every chapter of life brings new experiences, lessons and opportunities for growth. I invite you to take a few moments to read my story and get to know a little more about the person behind Time For Self.
Perhaps some of my reflections will remind you of the special people, places and experiences that have shaped your own journey.

What Have You Been Carrying That You’e Ready to Put Down?
Sometimes we don’t realize how much we have carrying until we finally stop.
As the year begins winding down, we may become more aware of just how much we have been carrying. Responsibilities. Worries. Other people’s needs. Decisions. Things that didn’t go quite as planned. And that never-ending list of what still needs to be done.
We become so accustomed to carrying and continuing that we don’t always notice the toll it takes. Our minds become busier, our shoulders tighter, our patience shorter—and at the end of the day, our feet may simply be tired.
When Did You Last Let Yourself Put It All Down?
Not solve it. Not organize it. Not think about what needs to be done tomorrow. Just put it down for a little while.
Taking Time For Self doesn’t always mean doing something more for yourself. Sometimes it means doing less—Stopping. Breathing. Allowing yourself to receive rather than constantly giving.
And perhaps November—before the busyness of December arrives—consider this a particularly good time to do just that.
Your Feet Have Been Carrying You Too
Think of everywhere your feet have taken you this year.
Through busy days, responsibilities, celebrations, difficult moments and ordinary everyday life, they have quietly carried you along.
Yet our feet are often one of the last parts of ourselves we think about caring for.
Reflexology offers an opportunity to finally put your feet up and receive. Through focused pressure on traditional reflex points of the feet, the experience encourages relaxation and gives your whole body an opportunity to slow down.
Perhaps the question this November isn’: “What else do I need to get done?”
Perhaps it is: “What am I ready to put down for a little while?”
