Inspiration has struckAnd I must goTo saddle up And find my flow.So I take a breathAnd I get cozy,Then close my eyesAnd off I mozy...Into my mind;Down the rabbit holeThe happy placeI go to stroll. To find mind magic and let it churn; Follow the thread around the turn. To piece togethera new puzzle;To free my mind and remove my muzzle. Channel my thoughts.Press pen to paper.Real and raw,I will not waver.When the dust clears,I see the light,Sit back and smileNow all is right. About the Author:...

What has transpired in the past week regarding the corona virus has spread like wildfire across the globe, resulting in governments taking aggressive action to keep the population safe. Unlike anything we have seen before, the fear definitely has spread faster than the virus. In the light of all of this uncertainty, fear, and seeming lack of control, I figured this was the most divine time to talk about the purpose of fear and how fear shows up in the body and mind. Fear has a purpose.This...

Back in December, I arrived early to meet my family at Glow Saskatoon. (Me, early? I know, right?) Well, apparently it was synchronistic because while I was looking out the window watching for any sign that my family was going to show up, I heard, “Kristin?”I turned around and was completely surprised to see my inventor friend, Kyle, looking at me. “Whoa. Hi. What are you doing here?” I said, completely caught off guard. Never in a million years had I expected to accidentally run into him...

FROM APRIL 17, 2018:Yesterday, I was en route home after an incredible weekend of teaching MindScape in Kitchener, ON. Due to the ice storms, it was quite an adventurous weekend getting to and from Kitchener and back to Toronto to fly home. To add to that adventure, I had the pleasure of meeting an inventor.As I stood looking at the flight schedule screen in the Toronto airport, the person beside me struck up a conversation. Considering our flight had changed gates and been delayed numerous...

Since I self-published my first children's book in March of 2018, there have always been people reaching out with questions about publishing:"I have a book that I want to publish. Can you help me?""I've always wanted to become an author. Where should I begin?" "How did you get your book printed?""Where did you find your illustrators?""How do you sell your books online?"Honestly, I think this is amazing! If you have a dream to do something, I want you to saddle up and go for it! Asking for...

I have been a busy little bee behind the scenes at Inner Compass Books, and I figured it was definitely time I filled you in on the BIG things that are in the works!January got off to a rock solid start to set the stage for 2020. After loads of illustrator research, hours of outreach inquiries, and countless emails, I got way outside my comfort zone and learned more than I was ever expecting. Along the way, I found some incredibly talented artists to work with for my upcoming book projects. I...

The Christmas season brings with it so many marketing ploys that try to convince us that we need to give our kids everything (or else we aren't good parents). From matching family pajama photo shoots to Hallmark movies, from social media staged homes to the marketing onslaught of ads, commercials, flyers, and window storefronts--how do you deal? It can be overwhelming, to say the least. So, this year I've decided to cut through all the noise and help my kids learn to control their own...

October was hectic. From working crazy hours of book release prep, to packing in 5 presentations to 200+ students at 3 different schools around Saskatchewan, to flying to Vancouver to teach MindScape—it was a busy and adventurous month, so no wonder I needed some major processing time.I’m finally coming down from the craze of the Magnus O’Meere book release. To say that I’ve been floored with how well it has gone would be an understatement. I’ve been a mixed bag of fatigue, excitement, gratitude, ove...time.I’m

Release day is just around the corner for my newest children's book, Magnus O'Meere, Mind Pioneer. As such, I have been reflecting on the journey that has brought this book to life and I have a story for you. Here goes: The idea for Magnus O'Meere came together a whopping year and a half ago while I was cruising at 35,000 ft above the Earth. I was en route to teach MindScape in Kitchener, Ontario as the storyline began to come together like pieces of a puzzle that finally fit together. I was...

The Marathon of Magnus is finally coming to a close. The finish line is around the bend. It has felt like an eternity that has thoroughly tested my patience. But, I know without a shadow of a doubt that Magnus O’Meere, Mind Pioneer has been worth every ounce, minute, and shred of heart and soul that has been poured into him. But, my God, it’s been a long road. One that, at times, I severely questioned in those tired and frustrating hours of hitting obstacle after obstacle. In other moments, I...
