What is gratitude? Why is gratitude so important to our lives? I want to this the year that I express make gratitude for everything I have been given. I am a uniquely successful podcaster and blogger with a powerful corporation in my corner. Life has given me many experiences that have made it possible for me to talk to many people in different industries. My heart has made a strong advocate and activist who stands up for humanity and our planet Earth. My knowable of science has given me insights into how our universe works. I am grateful that I have a media system that I can pour my heart and knowledge into so I spread the truth about our world and surrounding space. This does not mean that I have not had my share of pain and yes I have had my heart ripped out and handed back to me. I have won some of the fights for the rights of the being on our planet and I have lost many more battles to help the things and being I love. My life has taught me that if I am grateful just to have been there even just to see life will bring more success and teach more lessons than I can ever imagine. I am learning to live with gratitude and I want to invite you my readers, followers and listeners to do the same. Gratitude, love and trust is meant to be shared. The following five people have helped me with my journey of gratitude and I am sharing them with you so they can help you also.

Robyn Mctague
After much studying and learning a multitude of metaphysical systems and modalities, I realized that we are all unique and need various tools and techniques including the hard sciences like psychology, conflict resolution, and trauma.
My purpose is to combine the major tools used to improve the quality of life, such as counselling, coaching and healing systems into one.
ROBYN WYMAN
I grew up living on the West Coast of Canada and my earliest memories are of hiking through the forest and playing in the ocean. I am my happiest when I am connected in nature as it balances me and has been essential to my well-being.
When I was 27 my sister was diagnosed with a brain tumour and her illness started my search for the purpose of why I was here. I remember the day she was diagnosed — I was very upset and went to my parents’ home to see her. I walked through the front door and she was in the hallway. We just hugged and cried and then she said, “Rob, no matter what happens I am going to be OK. All I need is your love.” It was profound and I felt a calm come over me and a deep truth that she would be fine.
She was in and out of the hospital during the next few years and I watched as her condition worsened. What amazed me was the way the doctors dealt with her. There seemed to be a disconnect. I felt they were distant and lacked compassion. She was very scared while in the hospital and fearful that they would give her chemotherapy. She had drawn the line on chemotherapy and didn’t trust that the doctors would respect her wishes. When they would inject her with something, she would get very upset and would ask me to deal with it. I became her advocate. For some reason, I was able to have difficult conversations and deal with the doctors. It’s amazing how and where your strength comes from when helping someone you love. She fought very hard but the cancer was very aggressive. There was nothing that could be done and she passed in her 25th year. I was 29 and pregnant with my daughter who was born five weeks after her death. It was a bittersweet time, incredibly surreal and I felt everything and everyone was in slow motion.
During the next seven years, six more people died, five of whom were family. To say the least, it was a difficult time. It is now what I understand as “layer cake grief”. Being a mother of three young children, I found myself searching spiritually. One thing I had clarity on was that I was going to look after myself and my children because our health was my responsibility. It was all about prevention. I was given the nickname “MaMa Bird” because of my practicality and common sense approach to healing.
I began to study aromatherapy which I found fascinating and helped me heal my grief. Holistic health awakened joy in me for learning that I had never experienced before. I loved it and continued learning about herbs, massage, reiki, energy healing, crystals, and sound. All of these modalities worked on an energetic level; they were subtle and supported my spiritual growth. When I was 36, my mom died and this was when I decided to volunteer in Hospice. I didn’t want people to suffer as I had and believed that I could help them while they or someone they loved was dying.
I gradually moved into a new field of holistic health and began to work in the spa industry as an esthetician. I did work as an esthetician but my focus was on bodywork — specifically massage. During the massage, my clients would shift and many would become very emotional. At the beginning I didn’t understand what was happening; however I knew that I was being guided to help them and I trusted it. As time went on I developed my skills and became aware that I was holding space for my clients so that they felt safe. When they were in this relaxed safe space, they would allow the healing energy to flow through their bodies. It was truly an amazing experience for me. I also noticed that I was doing something far more than massage.
After years of working in the spa field, I decided to combine these modalities with my love of nature. I created, built, and ran a wellness centre called Full Bloom Farm in the country with lavender fields, herbal gardens, and aromatherapy. This became a powerful sacred space where people were invited to experience themselves in a serene setting.
Full Bloom Farm hosted garden tours, lavender festivals, events, yoga and meditation classes, wellness workshops, and ceremonies that focused around nature. We also produced a line of natural lavender bath and body products that were sold at the farm and in natural health stores. In addition, culinary lavender and lavender honey were sold to numerous restaurants.
After nine years of running the centre, my marriage ended and I decided to sell the business. I was faced once again with having to let go and enter a new transition. Up to this point, I was always the serious one taking care of others. With this new shift, I allowed myself to explore ME. I spent a few years travelling and learning how to play again. My belongings were placed in storage and I began my journey which I called, “My Grand Adventure: My Love Affair With Myself.”
I travelled to many countries and focused on my personal growth and expansion. During my time in Ireland, Peru, and India I was exposed to death and noticed how different it was done than in the West. Certain cultures embraced death as part of life and created rituals around the person’s passing that I knew nothing about. When I returned to Vancouver, I began to explore death and grieving in depth. I studied Conscious Dying and Multi-Dimensional Grief Resolution Coaching and became certified to support people and families to find peace as they transition through the end of life.
My mission is to support people going through two of the most important phases of life: the beginning and end of life.

Unhealthy relationships affects business, personal health and family joy. Many have said, “Had they known, what they now know they would have saved so much time, grief and money”. It is also important to many of that they also have a relationship with themselves. A relationship with self wakes up the awareness of a possible calling a desire that you wish to fill. Ignoring the calling can in the long run create blame on loved ones. Everything in balance.
