As I go through the ropes to move to the second round of the Next Top Spiritual Author competition, spending more and more time each day asking people to vote for me, focused on the May 3 deadline for voting, I am forced to ask myself WHY I have entered, and WHY I want to […]

3 weeks ago I entered a competition to find the Next Top Spiritual Author. It was one of these “coincidences” where I had signed up for an e-mail newsletter the week before, and notification of this competition came soon after. I IMMEDIATELY logged on and entered. That was the easy part. Then came the journey. […]

In recent months, many people have asked me: “Marguerite: how is it possible to be free and laughing when there is all this turmoil in the world”? I decided to share my thoughts and the techniques that have worked for me in an e-book, with the hope that it will help people deal with the […]

A note from my Facebook friend Jaci. A great example of how a small shift in one’s state radiates outward, magnifies and can change a situation. Just think what could have happen if Jaci had “blasted”! Instead, she laughed and there was a different outcome – win/win for all! Happy New Year, Marguerite! 🙂 True […]

My children are having the greatest time experiencing snow for the first time. I think Shane, my son, must have thrown at least a hundred snowballs yesterday! And he could not resist jumping into the snow mounds piled high by the snowplows! While I was out at a Festival of Carols, they had […]

Here’s one more reason I am loving Canada! My daughter had a challenge with an employee of the Toronto Transit Commission. Incensed, I wrote the TTC. Two Fridays ago, I received a telephone call replete with apologies, and today received a formal letter, the contents of which I reproduce here. “Free and laughing” means loving […]

“You frightened me” squealed the lady early Saturday morning. I was on my way to class and was walking out of my complex. She was ahead of me, but I was a tad late so I was walking faster. As I overtook her, I singsonged “Goodd morrningggg”. She jumped – frightened that a stranger would […]

There is nothing wrong with negative emotions. Our emotions, be they negative or positive, simply exist. When we learn to accept our negative emotions i.e. the emotions that do not serve our good, that feed on our fears (the ultimate negative emotion), then we can learn what this emotion is telling us about ourselves. Negative […]

This week Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary! WOW! How time flies! I have so many wonderful memories of Sesame Street. Watching the video I must admit a little nostalgic tearing up! Big Bird, Elmo, Ernie and Bert, Cookie Monster and so many others have brought hours of fun learning to children all over the […]
