Help Yourself and Others Attract Amazing Lives

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:35:01 +0000

A lot of stuff comes across my desk, but this one really piqued my interest… it’s an amazing opportunity if you’ve ever wanted to help others, or just really master the ability to create the life you want. Imagine being able to take an online course that certified you in an area you love… helped [...]

An Open Letter to 2011

Heather Vale Goss — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 07:13:08 +0000

Dear 2011, Often we go through life looking for easy routes to happiness. And at the end of the day (or year), when people talk about what they’re grateful for, it’s the “good” times they focus on. In a reversal, and in honor of my good friends Yin and Yang, I’d like to thank you, [...]

If Today Was Your Last Day

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:33:25 +0000

I just read about an influential writer and producer named Joe Bodolai who helped create Canadian comedy TV. He was instrumental in the creation of The Comedy Network, shows like Kids in the Hall and Comics, and co-wrote the original Wayne’s World movie with Mike Myers. He also wrote for SNL. Our paths crossed with [...]

The Spirit of St. Nick

I’ve been thinking a lot about Santa Claus lately. With a 3-year-old, it’s hard to escape that at Christmas time! And what I’ve realized more and more is, Santa isn’t about an old man with a beard, any more than God is (in my opinion and belief). God (or the Universe, the Creator, or whatever [...]

Luck o’ the ‘levens: 11-11-11

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 23:42:09 +0000

Whether you write it as 11.11.11, 11-11-11, or 11/11/11, today is seen as a lucky day… and much more. “11.11.11 is special because there is no other date that consists of all the same number. The day comes around once every 100 years, meaning (this) is the only time many people will be alive to [...]

Dancing with the Cars

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:03:47 +0000

This afternoon, while driving along the main drag in town, I saw a hilarious sight; let’s call it a battle of the fast food mascots. Three out of four corners were occupied by dancing food — a dancing Pita Pit pita on one corner, a dancing Quizno’s drink on another, and a dancing Yogurt Hut [...]

One Day When Facades Are OK

Heather Vale Goss — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:07:13 +0000

Halloween is the one day of the year when it’s OK to pretend to be somebody else. But these days, with the popularity of social media fueling the trend, it seems like more and more people would love to put up a facade on a day-to-day basis. Hey, I’ve been guilty of it too, to [...]

Yin and Yang are Everywhere

Heather Vale Goss — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:06:53 +0000

Last week my computer died (again)… or, well, it got pretty sick. The culprit was a great anti-virus program that had recently stopped working on my machine. After numerous uninstalls and re-installs that didn’t work, the support staff sent me a fourth removal tool that worked too well… it removed the drivers from my OS [...]

Yoga’s More Than Downward Dogs

Heather Vale Goss — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 16:32:52 +0000

When most of us think of yoga, we think about the physical kind: downward and upward dogs, and poses that resemble trees, cobras, bridges, bows, and various types of warriors, for example. But I’ve just recently heard about jnana yoga, which is yoga of the mind. This is a good explanation of it: Jnana Yoga [...]

How to Breed Warm Fuzzies

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:13:20 +0000

As we move officially into autumn, my Canadian mind is still focused on colder weather (even though where I live, it gets cool but not really downright cold). So this quote really caught my attention: “One kind word can warm three winter months.” - Japanese Proverb It’s easy to get caught up in our own [...]
