I did it again. Just when I thought I was getting over myself, I made the mistake of picking up today’s edition of The Ottawa Citize”. In the front section (always where you’ll find the most irritating, annoying and frightening events of the world!) is a piece called “Tots on the couch” – declaring that ‘Children as young as a few months are being taken ...

Where are the men?
I think I’m going to give up listening to talk radio. Not only is it hard to hum along, it leaves me wondering…..what the hell are we doing?????Today, my little rant is courtesy of the CBC and today’s program on the sale of human beings. Particularly women and children are being ‘trafficked’ for the sex trade – and Canada has a less-than-stellar record in ... Continue Reading >>
White Feather: Where spirit touches tissue
Last week, I got a note from someone who was profoundly awakened by the process of putting her attention at the base of her spine…what I’ve created as the ‘White Feather’ meditation (for lack of any other recognized language).

These thoughts are on my mind as I return from three days at Oceanstone, at the Huna Retreat. I am experiencing an ever-increasing clarity of the connection ... Continue Reading >>
Reader comments and Ray’s arrival
Strange…..My intention in starting this blog was to create space – big space, safe space - within which to engage new thinking about leadership/leading/leaders, among other things. For some strange reason, I’ve been getting emails from folks saying that they can’t seem to post comments.Hmmm… (she says, pondering her holodeck) isn’t that interesting! My ... Continue Reading >>
Decloaking in Ottawa – Quaking in Hawaii
It’s been a busy week-end. And given my belief that my life is a holodeck, I am paying attention to what I have manifested and how it all links together. This week-end I had the honour of being part of not one but two ‘unveilings’ of contributing authors to the Sekhmet Rising book project. Unlike book signings or readings, these are opportunities created ... Continue Reading >>
