Getting off the Guilt Trip

Last night I bought a new journal.  I spent a lot of time in the bookstore trying to decide which one to buy – did I like the cover, the size, and the feel of the pages?  All these are important to me as I spend so much time journaling.  I finally settled on a […]

What’s the rush? Lessons from a fall

On Tuesday, I had 3 very important appointments – a job interview, a meeting about my next book and a telephone conference call with a client in Barbados.  I also was in the throes of preparing a proposal that had to be submitted by Thursday and organizing the midterm examination for my students at Ryerson.  […]

Every disappointment leads to an appointment – lessons from the Next Top Spiritual Author Competition

This has been a difficult post for me to write, but writing it has made it so much easier. Last week the results of Round 2 of the Next Top Spiritual Author competition were announced.   I have not advanced to the next round.

“Happy Father’s Day Mom”

I have become used to hearing these words every Father’s Day for the past 11 years, ever since my children’s father and I separated and he returned to his native country. In the first few years of becoming a single mom,  I really tried hard to be both mom and dad to my children.  Then […]

The greatest wonder in the Universe

Sharing this with you today – wonder about yourself.   Observe yourself.  Look inward.  Question yourself.   See who you really are …  open to your magnificence! “People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass […]

Cleaning up the oil spill – with love

I switched off CNN a few hours ago, shortly after President Obama’s address to the American nation about the oil gushing into the Gulf.  I just could not take any more of the bickering between Republicans and Democrats, the sensationalising of the media and the general negativity and fear surrounding this accident.  There must be […]

A few days ago, a friend forwarded an e-mail from a mutual acquaintance that described her travels over the past few weeks – Haiti, Holland, Norway, Indonesia, London – just reading the e-mail I couldn’t keep up.  She described her sojourns in various places, her travelling experiences and her crash and burn when it all […]
