Remembrance Day Tribute ~ Hudson Parade!

A Day of Remembrance..... The Remembrance Day Parade which took place yesterday in Hudson, Quebec Canada, was indeed a day to remember by all. Their Spirits live on!

This is a most touching capture, because as I write this I am most chocked up.
In this photo Hayden Paterson (my son) is showing Kaiden Parkinson and me the poppy the cubs made for him while he was away due to his father's passing away just a few weeks ago, after a long battle with cancer. I was most touched by the cubs own tribute and proud at the same time that people have big hearts and such compassion, proud of the boys. Bob Parkinson was a dear Soul, a wonderful Husband to Lianna, a father of five, in a few words, a great man, also a well respected council member of the Hudson Community. He made his mark in many of us. His Spirit will live on. As such as all those who where here before us, and for us. I give Thanks to have share this moment, parade and day with these two boys.

Let us remember so we don't forget. Remember the men and women who fought for our country, for they are our heroes! We have all that we have because of theme we are blessed and fortunate to live in such a wonderful beautiful and free country because of theme...Thank you!...and peace to all! The cubs made this beautiful wreath with by cutting poppy flower shapes in craft foam. I thought it was most creative. Wonderful creation and tribute by the Cavagnal Cubs pack. Great job boys ;)

Miy Paris Theme Holiday Decorations

Miy Christmas Special Feature

Miy Paris Theme Holiday Decorations;
tabletop setting, Chic holiday decorations, elegant gifts, centerpiece. etc..

My inspiration for my Holiday Paris theme decor was from my childhood nostalgic
Christmases spent at my grandmother's house.

The decorations that I created for my holiday theme table, even if they seem quite elaborate, can easily be created with very few craft supplies, available in arts and crafts and fabric stores and many various remnants from around your home. Make your holidays special, personalized it with style, make it yourself!

Happy Thanksgiving...

Giving Thanks ~ For our bountiful blessings
With all that is going on in the world with the economy these days; it is now even more important then ever to count our bountiful blessings rather the dwell on the things that we do not have. What the world needs is not for people to get stuck in the spiral negative energy of fear. Do the opposite, the more we are grateful for what we do have to more we are sending out good energy into the world around us. Thanksgiving is for giving thanks
for our many blessings....if we all did this everyday, the world would be a much better place, ! When you say "I Give Thanks" with genuine gratitude.... You will feel its joy instantly....for these are gifts of true of blessings
Happy Thanksgiving...Blessings and most of all enjoy! Maddylane

Spirit in the Skies...

Forgiving others starts by forgiving ourselves, and then you are able to send others light, and the Spirits in the skies will do the rest....It's like letting go... and letting God!

Kayaking is a great way to feel closer to the source, its when I ask my questions...and get my answers, when im still enough to truly listen.
I'll Stand by you...was the answer I received...How cool was that for an answer, it came with a picture, its doesn't get any clearer then that!!!!

Enjoy this day!

Happy Father's Day.... Photo and quote by Maddylane

Happy Father's Day....
Originally uploaded by Miyspirit

Happy Father's Day....

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
Fathers Day Quote by: Jim Valvano

Growing up being the middle of 5 children, I thought I was the forgotten child, so I became very independent and self sufficient and lived my life as such. My father was a very quiet man and a very brilliant man, who didn’t really say much but when he did, I not only listen, I remember. A few years ago at my grandmother (my mother’s mother) funereal, after I gave the eulogy my father came up to me with a teary eye and frog in his throat and he said something to me that I’ll never forget. Actually he said this to me years ago as well but in a different way but I did not know what he meant until this moment. Years ago as a young teenager he had said to me, “You can choose to be your worst enemy or your own best friend… its up to you, its your choice!”
That day, he said this to me (I don’t remember the exact words, but it was something like this)…, I’m so proud of you, I have watched from afar over the years because you have not let me in, but glad to see that you have chosen to become your own best friend. He then went on to say that when I was up there on the podium, it had touched him deeply it gave him chills because he said he had a vision of me becoming a motivational or spiritual speaker, because he said I glowed… I looked at him in total amazement and sock, (I remember think that was really an unusual thing to say to someone) yet I was so touched by what he had just shared with me from the heart, I will never forget… for this is the ultimate a father can say to his daughter. Je t’aime Papa, and thank you for always believing in me, even when I didn’t ..you did... how blind was I not to see the love that was there all along. and I can only hope to be able to pass on these life lessons to my own children)

To all my flickr friends that are father’s…God bless you all, hugs...Enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend ...

This is a reminder to take lost of pictures with your children this weekend, for these precious times just go by to fast. I have so many pictures of my boys, but none with me and my two boys together. I was looking for a picture with my two sons together, and realized I didn't have many. I'm still without my camera until Monday, but I will find one or borrow one and make sure I have pictures with my two sons. This one is with Hayden taken when he was younger.

If you need inspiration for your Mother's Day card, I just posted a page full of some of my favorite Mother's Day quotes. www.miycreations.com

This was my favorite of them all, because it got to my hearth strings.

Mothers hold their children's hands
only for such a short while,
but their hearts forever.


Enjoy your Weekend ;)

Apricot and mango Spread ... (No Sugar Recipe)

MIY Apricot and Mango Spread... (No Sugar)

People are always asking me why I’m so slim for my age….Hahahah..Well...
Here’s my secret, it's purely simple, I simply don’t eat sweets or junk food.... it's not
because I don’t like them, it's because they don’t agree with my body, so I listen to my body and I don't eat them. Paying attention to what you eat and how they react to your body is all part of a healthier you lifestyle.

I’m the type of cook that likes to cook with a bit of this and that. I keep cooking simple, except for Sunday family dinners. I like to cook with what I call “how did you make that" recipe? When I go to people house’s for dinner or parties, when I like something, I always ask how did you make that? That’s pretty much how I gather most of my recipes, by word of mouth (no need to write them down) and taste of course! As I make it, I usually add something else to it to make it a bit different....then they come to my house and say, hey "How did you make that?"

For those who don’t like or can’t eat sugar like diabetics; Here’s a super easy recipe to
make no sugar added apricot and mango spread. Even if you like sugar this recipe is so
easy you will want to try it, because it taste great. My kids love it (plus they don’t know
there’s no sugar). It’s perfect to make in the spring and winter time when fresh fruits are
not as abundant. It’s so easy you can make this spread almost anywhere anything,
from the cottage to even camping. You really can't go wrong with this super easy recipe.

To see how easy it is to make this spread...have look, visit and let me know what you think!!!!
This is something new that i'm doing on my site, is adding O so easy recipes, with step-by-step photo recipes...

Happy Earth Day....

Happy Earth day… Let us give thanks by loving our planet.

I was wondering how to market and launch my new book of poetry for the Heart and Soul titled “Mystical Journey”. Since this is a book about the celebration of our earth and our place in it, what better day then to do it on Earth Day.

I wrote this book from a deeper place within me, my spirit and that is why on the book I wrote that it was written by miyspirit. Also, many of you have encouraged me in the last year to do a book with my quotes and stories. Well here it is finally after much of a leaning curve in the book making business. When I was inspired to make this book my goal was that I had hope this book would inspire others to reconnect with our earth and source. I even wrote on the last page…
I hope you have enjoyed this book, for I truly enjoyed making it.
If even, but one photo, quote or story share smiles or speaks to you in one way or another, then this book has served its purpose.

Last night I was inspired by a very gracious lady (Suzanne Williams from Ontario Canada) and her most encouraging dear words which truly left me speechless. Thank you Suzanne I am most touched and humbled by your testimonial. Suzanne you have no idea how overjoyed I was to hear that you have so enjoyed this book but most of all that it has spoken to your Soul, made it all worth it. I was not sure how people would react to it. I thought I would have to write the book of my whole life story before people could understand the conclusion of my so far passage on this earth.

Here is what Suzanne wrote …. "Well today is a special day my beautiful book arrived from Maddy, Mystical Journey, Photo Poetry for the Heart and Soul...and my oh my how very fortunate I am to have received this beautiful gift. From Maddy’s personal letter complete with soothing tea, to the very end of this book it was indeed a Mystical Journey...and has touched my heart. From the very first post that Maddy made on one of my photos, you just knew she was special, a kindred spirit, a gifted photographer, and a living sage...A Being who is here carrying the lamp for us to see by, a scribe writing the words we need to hear. A truly gifted and magical photographer. So that we may see. I have been so fortunate to have Maddy as a spirit in kind through the flickr network. Now I can actually touch and sense that spirit in this beautiful book. It is MAGNIFICENT. Thank you MaddyLane for sharing your spirit with me. A true gift to us...you are one of a Kind. I will treasure this book as I treasure our friendship... Humbly your friend Suzanne

I thank you with great Honor Suzanne, you have touched my Soul and inspired me tremendously in return, now I know how I will market this book. For its not easy to market ones own creations. It’s easier to get you all to go to my website because where I share and give you creative ideas for free. This book is different then what I normally do, its not a décor project, its me sharing from my Soul on a personal level which is not seen in a website. I hope my readers will buy this book, for it shows another side of me, of creation and how I get my inspirations in order to inspire others. It really is a feel good all over book.

I wrote Mystical Journey before I read the book “The Shack” by William Paul Young.
It is truly one of the best and most powerful books that I have ever read. It really explains it all…everyone should read this book!!! For we all have our caves and shacks in our lives in one way or another. When I read this book I realized that I was not crazy after all, it explain many things to me that I have come to realize within the last few years. Mystical journey is my trip at the Shack. When I kayak and admire the sunrise and sunsets I am truly with the presence of God the Source. When I’m making creations I truly feel Sarayu (the holy spirit) spirits, she is everything magical and whimsical, that is perhaps why I enjoy making things so much. Weather I’m in my work shop or going for long walks, I feel the presence of Jesus is there with me, we have long talks. Now that I have allowed myself to reconnect to the source and this magnificent trio, I enjoy their presences when I being present to their presence. Suzanne since I’m particularly found of you, I will post of picture of the Shack on my lake for you tomorrow.

Save the planet by healing your Soul first….and united we can heal the planet.
Where we all inspire each other in one way or another ;)
Enjoy this day!

I invite you to view inserts of "Mystical Journey"

Transitional Awaitings...

It's now spring, but it doesn't feel like it, things are not green yet, there’s still a bit of snow and it looks more likes fall, mist and all....this is a transitional time, what I call between seasons....for both nature and the state of our Souls. Coming out of winter Soul sleep, awaiting for spring.

Have a wonderful day... not matter what season it is, rain or shine... enjoy!

Spring has Sprung at Miycreations.....

Spring 2009 at MIY

Spring is an exciting time of the year...the snow is finally melting, the birds are singing, people are out and smiling more...it truly is a renewal time of the year. Winter has been long enough; It’s now time to rejoice.

Its also time for Spring Cleaning , to renew your home, wardrobe and spirits. Clean those cobweb corners, let in fresh air, get organized, add colour and style… all to set a spirited welcoming tone to welcome the new season. Spring decorating does not have to be difficult or expensive, it can be achieved simply and with a smile.

Quick tips for Spring cleaning
1- Put on upbeat music that makes you happy, move and groove....
2- Get the kids to help, even if you have to do the job over again after, its teaching them to help and basic cleaning skills, make it fun or into a game...after all its their home too
3-Open the windows to let in some fresh air, out with the old energy in with the new
4-Set simple goals, do one room at a time, but do it all, the from walls to floor.Once a room is spring fresh clean from top to bottom, it will motivate you to do every room in the same manner. It's a most invigorating feeling!
5- Don't forget to clean those junk drawers, where everything seams to accumulate, for remember...it is called a junk drawer, because all the daily junk ends up there
6-Use green products as much as you can, recycle what you can, throw out broken things that don't work, donate good items that you simply don't need, or have not used in years... make a fresh start, pretend your moving, its a great way to get ride of a lot of stuff, that is just that stuff...minimalize, it's good for the soul!
7-Revamp and reuse what you can, save your money, it’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do!
8- Don’t forget to take water breaks to re-energize yourself, preferably outside to breathe in some fresh spring air.
9-Throw out any dead plants, replace them with fresh ones...its good feng shui
10- Most important...do it with a smile, the work will get done faster and you will be filling your home with new fresh positive energy to start the new season!

There's always a plus side to spring cleaning...it always amazes me the things one finds during spring cleaning, especially the recovery of lost items, I especially like to find money in the couch and in pockets of spring cloths... it pays to spring clean after all!!!!

Happy Spring Cleaning :)

Treeology Analogy...

I would like to introduce you to my trees (well typically they belong to nature). There are three of them, like a circle of friends, father, son and holly spirit, or the Father, Mother and Child..its all depends on the perspective you look at them. No matter what season or weather, they are always there, like constants. Simply by watching them everyday, I have learned much from them. I do my morning salutation, and meditate, and I have my coffee break with them. They are what I see from my office window. In the summer I even dance around them, relax, read books, and entertain by them. They teach me so much. Whenever i'm having a busy day, I take the time to breathe for a few minutes while I look at them and instantly I feel more focused, more grounded as I stand tall like them. We are a lot like trees in many ways; we metamorphose and change with every season such as trees, we come back to life in the spring, we blossom, we learn to sway with the winds, to stand tall, and ground ourselves, to adapt in the winter...yes we can learn much from the soul medicine of trees….and all without a word, simply by observing and feeling there energy. When I’m kayaking, they are what I spot from a distance to find my way back home.
Did I mention I love trees…especially these three :)

Enjoy your day...Hugs a tree today...and feel it's awesome energy !!!!

Miy Photo of the Day.... Harmony

Miy Photo of the Day.... Harmony

Cardiff Castel, Wales (It was a unique experience to dine at Cardiff Castel while in Wales, entertained by Welsh angelic voices and music,a real enchanting treat)

Harmony is when consonance and dissonance are in balance.
Harmony is also a state of being when one feels a peaceful inner balance, almost like the sound of harps and angels singing from within ;)


Have a wonderful week full of Harmony ;)
