You Had the Words Five Minutes Ago. Where Did They Go? You knew what you wanted to say. Maybe the words came while you were walking, making coffee, or thinking about something completely unrelated. Then you sat down to write them, and suddenly you were searching for the right opening. You tried to make the sentence sound better and wondered whether what you wanted to say made sense at all. The words that felt so clear five minutes ago seemed to disappear. This is one reason I teach the Sacred Pause. Before you try to write, pause. Take a breath, become present, and release the pressure to produce something good. You don't need to be clever. You don't need to know exactly where the writing is going. Listen for what is already there. And begin with: What wants to be said is... This is what we practise together in Sacred Writing. For the next few weeks, our two 30-minute Sacred Writing Sessions remain open to everyone in the community. I'll share more soon about some changes coming to Sacred Writing after our Canadian Thanksgiving. What changes in you between having the thought and trying to write it down?

Sometimes the simplest practice is the most powerful. When life feels overwhelming or your mind becomes busy, pause and return to your breath. With each slow, rhythmic inhale and exhale, your nervous system begins to settle, your heart softens, and you reconnect with the quiet place within where creativity naturally emerges. Take a few moments today to breathe in the frequency of love.

Today Canadians celebrate the Confederation in 1867. We are a proud nation and love our land from ocean to ocean. I'm so blessed to live in Central British Columbia on Okanagan Lake. This is my home. Show me the place that you feel blessed to be.

Before you press play... Take two minutes with a pen and complete this sentence: "The area of my life that feels most out of alignment right now is..." No overthinking or editing, just write until you feel complete. 🎥 Then watch Kristen Valus' monthly forecast. 🎥 When you return, share one sentence from what you wrote that you're willing to let us witness. I'm looking forward to reading what emerges.
