I'm writing this from Edmonton which has just received an early snowfall. I'm here visiting my parent's for Thanksgiving, and it's a stark difference from tropical Bali! I've only been back for just over a week, and my tan is sadly starting to fade and I'm getting used to wearing socks and shoes once again. If you haven't been following my adventures, you can check out my last post here which...

Life lessons from my 19-year-old cat
Sep 7, 2016 | Sparkly Love
We brought home Phoebe from the SPCA when I was 16 and my brother Chandler was 13. She was intended as a birthday gift for our mom, but selfishly we just wanted a new kitten! I'll never forget the first time I laid eyes on Phoebe. She was malnourished, sneezing and she had be in her small SPCA cage for a significant amount of time. Her days were numbered, but I like to think it's because she...
The only thing you ever need to listen to

Lately some pretty crazy things have been happening in my life. Not over the top stuff that’s overly dramatic, but shifts in the way I see and perceive things. A couple of weeks ago I was at the World Domination Summit in Portland. This was my 4th time attending the event, but I hadn’t even planned to attend this year. I remember so clearly as the conference ended last year, I set a strong...
My European adventure!
Aug 3, 2016 | Sparkly Love
It’s been a while since I last posted anything. As much as I love to write, I felt like I needed to take a break from it. Since Make It finished in late April, I have felt pretty introspective and that I needed time and space to figure out what my next move is. Most of the writing I have been doing has been in my journal and before today, I’ve felt self conscious about sharing much. Being quiet...
Born for this!

It’s fascinating how life moves in seasons just like nature does. When I was first introduced to this concept I didn’t totally get it, but lately it resonates strongly. A very simple way to explain, is your soul phases through 4 different seasonal cycles just as the weather does. For example, in spring you are planting seeds and preparing for exciting projects or launches. The summer is when...
Life after Make It!

I can now say that I pulled off my second Make It solo! This last show in Vancouver was the one I felt most overwhelmed and nervous about. It has been 3 years since we had ever had a spring show, and this was the first one at the PNE Forum. Leading up to the weekend, I had a few sleepless nights hoping that I could pull it all off. Make It has such a strong reputation, and I always want to make...
I made it!

I can now say that I officially survived my first Make It solo! Not only was it my first show since I bought my brother Chandler out of the business, but it was also our busiest spring show yet! Over 12,000 people came through the doors of the Enjoy Centre, and many Makies had one of their best spring shows too. This makes me happier than anything else! I meant to write this post a week ago on...
Making it on my own
Apr 5, 2016 | Sparkly Love, Uncategorized
This is a BIG week for me! It's the first time I have ever organized a Make It show solo. If you have been following my adventures for the last couple months, you know that in February I bought my brother Chandler out of Make It. We were biz partners for over 8 years, but mutually felt it was best for me to take over the business. Now it's all happening! Gulp. I feel very fortunate to have...
