Embracing the Changing of the Seasons

10/27/2021

4 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.

It is fall here in Muskoka, and I LOVE the changing of the seasons.
It has been an amazing fall, the trees have been extraordinary, and the leaves are yellow, orange and glowing red. Now with that joy, also comes the grief. The letting go, the raking of the leaves, (and we have several to rake). There are lots of work, and that is OK.

I see the changing of the seasons as an opportunity.
Getting rid of the old and starting new again.
We are getting ready for the next season which is winter.
I choose to embrace winter and to prepare for it before it arrives.
I remember with the changing of the seasons, everything is temporary.

When life is wonderful, I celebrate it, knowing that things will change (Bless You!) And when I am challenged…
I know that is also temporary and things will change again.

That is what the seasons remind me of. I would love to hear what you think about fall and winter coming and what you are celebrating!

​Enjoy your leaves!

10/20/2021

0 Comments

 

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.

I am so excited to share an opportunity with you because one of my heroes
(in my nursing career and in my life) is Dr. Elisabeth Kubler Ross. I say this, because her legacy lives on through her amazing son Ken Ross and the
Elisabeth Kubler Ross Foundation.

On Thursday Oct 21st 2021, we have the opportunity to be a part of a weekly webinar series from Oct 21-Dec 16th. There will be experts from around the
world talking about death, spirituality, living well, dying well and the afterlife.
So many important topics around dying, death and living well.

I attended this webinar last year and I was blown away. Just incredible people.
I would encourage everyone to go to the Facebook page, the website page
(we are sharing the links below). You will want to register. There is a
minimal charge, a gift really, and each of the webinars in recorded so you
get to keep them forever. This is truly a life changing event.
Every one of these webinars is amazing.

Thank you to the Elisabeth Kubler Ross Foundation for sharing this wisdom,
and thank you everyone for sharing your passion.
You will not want to miss this!

Here is the link to register:

When Was Your Last Pep Talk?

10/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Geordie here from Love Your Life to Death.

Sometimes we all need a pep talk. (I know I do!)

A friend recently shared this video with me from "The Kid President"
and I wanted you to see it as well. I think it will make you smile.

As you are watching the video, I would encourage you to take some time to reflect on the last few weeks. After the video, I ask you... Will this change your perspective on the next few weeks?

How did the pep talk help you?
Share your favourite part of the video
in the comments section.

Have a great week everyone!

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.
I am sitting here with my friend Lucas on September 30th, 2021.

Today is the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation here in
Canada where we honour the lives lost and the children who died
​ in our residential schools in the past, and the trauma that
​continues on in their families and communities. Please watch this
short video and I would encourage you to reach out, share your
thoughts and learn more below.


 Here are some resources to get started:

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.
I am sitting in my new home with my dog Sadie (who is my office mate) 

Today we are celebrating! We are looking back at September 16th 2015,
it was the day we launched my book Love Your Life to Death. I have to say, so much has changed in our lives since that day. For so many of you I am expressing gratitude because you purchased my book, shared my book and we have sold thousands of copies around the world. The feedback
has been so heart warming, and many people have said it has changed their lives and it changed my life.

I want to thank every individual who shared their stories (ages 11-101)
that I could bring to you to give you a perspective on living well,
grieving well and dying well, and to everyone else that has shared
my book along the way. 

For the rest of September, we would like to continue to help others.
When you purchase a copy, you can receive a second copy at 50%.

That is two books for $30.00 Canadian. Why? because we are celebrating and continuing to share these inspiring stories and it is our way of saying thank you.

So thank you everyone, thank you for sharing and thank you for caring. May you always find a way to Love Your Life. How do we do that?

Plan your life, plan your death...
​and always bring your own tambourine to the party!

During our recent trip to Kelowna, BC we had the opportunity to climb
a few beautiful mountains. Have you ever climbed a mountain? 



In my last vlog, I was walking in my beautiful neighborhood in
Huntsville Ontario and shared how I make the time to walk or hike
at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. I would encourage to you watch
this short video and share where your favourite places to walk, hike or spend time in nature are! 
​
We would love to hear from you about your adventure!

Have a great week everyone!

Hi Everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.
It is about 7am and I thought I would take you on a walk with me!

I have actually committed to "jogging" (more like wogging...)
because it is not very fast. I usually go for about 30 minutes...



​Please watch the rest of the vlog and please let
me know your thoughts!

I accept your challenge!

Sadie is Home... Because You Just Showed Up!

8/11/2021

2 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here from Love Your Life to Death.

I am at the top of an incredible mountain.
We are on The Gladstone trail in Kelowna with Geordie (who is back there
holding the camera). We have been in Kelowna for the last week,
and the day after we arrived, our dog Sadie ran away from poor
Grandma and was missing for four days.

My mom was distraught,
we were as well and it was a very challenging time. But we were still
able to enjoy our vacation and do wonderful hikes because you
(our community) Just Showed Up for us, for Sadie and for my mom.

There was thousands of shares on social media, posters and flyers
were put up, people were getting into cars and driving around.
There is so much concern, love and support in our small town and
we are so grateful for everyone.

From the bottom of my heart, from Geordie’s heart and my mom.

THANK YOU for Just Showing Up,
for helping to bring Sadie home safely so we can enjoy our last
​day and a half of vacation without worrying.

That is because of you.
You Just Showed Up for us.

We will be forever grateful.
​Thank you.

An inspiring heart-to-heart with Maria Kliavkoff,

7/28/2021

2 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.

This week, I wanted to re-share a past RogersTV episode with you.

This is an inspiring heart-to-heart with Maria Kliavkoff. She is the
Founder of Healthy Mourning. Most of us have grown up in a grief
phobic, mourning avoidant society, so it is no surprise that when
faced with the death of a loved one, we don’t know what to do with
our grief. As a result, most of us bury and carry our grief for years,
and even decades. Healthy Mourning is specially designed to teach everyone how to convert their grief to mourning and move through
the grief process with ease and grace.

Helping an Animal Warms my Heart

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.
Geordie and I have just arrived at the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary because yesterday Tanner and Geordie found this little injured bird.

This poor little guy looks like he might have some broken legs (or something wrong with his legs). We decided we would do everything we could to help him get the help he needs. We took care of him overnight and arrived here this morning, and it feels really good I have to say.

I am also feeling very grateful for those who Just Show Up for injured, abused and abandoned animals. We are going to make a donation today and I just want to say thank you to those to help animals everywhere and hopefully they can help out our little bird friend “Kanye Nest”

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.

I am sitting here in the memorial park in Bracebridge having a

when we marched down the main street right into this park and
attended the first Pride Parade in Muskoka…
