It feels like I'm ready to come up for air and check out the rest of the world. Between my time in Hawaii, my re-entry into the world of grocery shopping and laundry, engaging in programs and with clients and - let's not forget! - the riveting moments of 'Dancing with the Stars', I'm just now feeling like I'm back in the game and ready to play! For some ... Continue Reading >>

My life: re-entry
I love being in the deep end of the pool! I love the power of the conversations and the way they change lives. "Just talking' is more than enough to guide us all through 'invite and allow' that we might find a new place to stand. I love the intensity that accompanies this highly personal, individual and unique journey of discovery. No two of us are the ... Continue Reading >>
Radical, you say???
That we change is not what separates us from the rest of the world. HOW we change, is. We are not the first (and likely will not be the last) who claim to have found a way to accelerate their personal evolution; to create profoundly meaningful lives for ourselves.

During my time ... Continue Reading >>
Hawaii completions

It has been a magical time through the Mauna Lani Experience and Huna conversation and is, I know, the beginning of more things to come. We gathered to explore connection - to the elements, to each other and to Self. The conversations were powerful ... Continue Reading >>
Ohana gathers
And so, we begin. I am on the Big Island of Hawaii, at the magnificent Mauna Lani Bay Resort. Slowly, over the last few days, 'ohana' (or family of choice) has been gathering in this place to spend time in shared discovery. Our first time together will be in about an hour, at the Aloha Reception for the 22 of us who are here. In this moment, my heart ... Continue Reading >>
Taking it back!
Another one of those moments... driving to work listening to the CBC. This time, I caught the tail end of a conversation about how difficult it is becoming (at least, in Ontario) for people to find a family physician. The conversation also explored the characteristics of the patients that doctors don't want (my words, not theirs....that would be much too ... Continue Reading >>
