Lessons from the Inca Trail
This newsletter comes as a long overdue follow-up to the launch of my (first) website on September 23, 2011. I might be tempted to blame the delay on the pace of life and yet I know, the simple fact is that I am here by choice. Whether I like to admit it or not, everything […]
A time of transition
A fork in the road is emerging, and with it a choicepoint appears once more. Do I stay where I find myself, comfortable but uneasy? Or do I venture down an unknown path where soul stirring potential lays in wait? This is not an unfamiliar place for me…it is the mystery. It both excites and […]
Embracing all of who you are
I like what this article has to say about self-acceptance and in particular, about embracing all of you we are…enjoy the read.

Rules to Remember
It was some time ago, that a friend and fellow coach shared this wisdom with me. I am sending it along with the hopes that it will remind and inspire us all to be mindful in our thoughts, our words, and our deeds. In this way, we empower ourselves to create the kind of life […]
Fleeting time and long-lost friends
Today I reconnected with a friend I have not been in contact with for 30 years. 30 years! It seems such a long time, and yet, its passage seems instantaneous when viewed from a distant vantage point. When I heard his voice, I was immediately transported back to a youthful time. My career was still […]
Observing differently
I read this title in a newsletter recently, and it moved me to write about my recent experiences as a nursing instructor. I am grateful for the impetus that this title has spawned for writing is something I have been unable to do in recent weeks due largely to work demands. Work – the paid employment I […]
Breathless
The past seven weeks have been weighed down by a pace and workload that have left me slightly breathless. As I emerge from this period of intensity, I return to reflect on a blog posted earlier this year. Within it, exists the patterning typical of lessons still being learned. I am posting it once again as a way […]
Seeing the sacred in all things
In the context of the “bullying” phenomenon that has gripped our society in recent years, it seems apt to revisit a posting from August entitled “Beyond simplicity: Seeing the sacred in all things” found at http://www.in-sightconsulting.ca/blog/post/2012/08/12/Beyond-simplicity-Seeing-the-sacred-in-all-things.aspx. As we struggle to understand the cruelty and the dehumanization that stands at the centre of such behaviour, it seems important to consider that which […]
Bullying: An ageless phenomenon
Dear Editor, after reading your series of articles on bullying (featured in this Saturday’s Globe & Mail and prompted by the recent death of Amanda Todd) I felt moved to comment on this phenomenon from the perspective of someone who has experienced bullying as an adult. It took some time for me to recognize and […]
