I am having a delightful first week back from my magical month of vacation. For the juicy details, see Why I Attended Contact in the Desert and Integrating My Summer Travels (a synopsis of my Oregon road trip including attendance at two fascinating workshops at ECETI Ranch in beautiful Trout Lake, WA … including forays… Read more »
Ok, which one of you planted this for me to find?! I’m strolling along yesterday afternoon down at JJ’s favorite off-leash beach … and plunk myself down on a log to soak up the delicious sun. When a rock perched further along the log catches my eye. What’s that … it has something written on… Read more »
I had a REALLY good summer ‘vacation’. Quotes around the word vacation, cause a lot of it was still work related but thankfully I have the kind of work that fits in with my natural preferences so it doesn’t feel like ‘work-work’.

A belated Happy Canada Day to the Canucks and Happy 4th to the Yanks! Our summer is officially kicking off with these celebrations. Been a great couple of weeks since the last eZine … The lovely ladies of Magic Marker Mastermind completed their final retreat of their 6-month program. What a delight they have been… Read more »
Wishing a country and its inhabitants a happy holiday on its anniversary is actually a complicated thing. No country is perfect and mine (Canada) is no different. We have a LONG way to go in lots of areas … environment, better respect for First Nations, conscious business practices, radical improvements in the healthcare, education systems… Read more »
This morning was an ‘interesting’ experience. Not only had I messed up on the timing of a client session (I was strolling along with JJ by the ocean instead of hooked up to Webex … so sorry Marion!) but my assistant Pat had one of those ‘OMG, I can’t believe I just did that’ moments.… Read more »
