I saw the movie “Invictus” last night and thought I would share the poem with you today.  Lessons, lessons, lessons.  Go and see the movie for a real lesson on leadership with integrity.  In the meantime, think about this poem and remember ALWAYS that you are the master of your fate and the captain of […]

I am sharing this beautiful experience that my friend Mahalia related to me and other friends.  There are so many lessons for us, and I thank Mahalia for putting them out there for us all to share.  It is good to remember, in the final week before Christmas, that the best gifts are not purchased […]

My children are having the greatest time experiencing snow for the first time.  I think Shane, my son, must have thrown at least a hundred snowballs yesterday!   And he could not resist jumping into the snow mounds piled high by the snowplows!   While I was out at a Festival of Carols, they had […]

We awoke early this morning to the beauty of a blanket of white covering everything within sight.    It has been 25 years since my last snowfall, and so I was as excited and transfixed this morning as ever!  For my daughter, it was her very first sight of snow, and it was magical!  You could […]

There are days that are very productive and some that are not.  Some days, I declare with a real sense of accomplishment “It was a very good day”.  Then there are others when I review my list of “things to do” and see very little accomplished.  Now, I know that if I do something once, […]

Here’s one more reason I am loving Canada! My daughter had a challenge with an employee of the Toronto Transit Commission.  Incensed, I wrote the TTC.  Two Fridays ago, I received a telephone call replete with apologies, and today received a formal letter, the contents of which I reproduce here.  “Free and laughing” means loving […]
