The rat ran across the road in front of the vehicle.  Pat, the woman sitting next to me, covered her face and shrieked.  I was fascinated at how different the rat looked from the rats I had seen running around my cabin in Vancouver a few years ago.  This one looked more like the Hunchback […]

As Greg and I sat in the thermal pools in Harrison Hot Springs last month, I grabbed both his hands and said, “let’s set an intention for our few days together. I intend that we have a relaxing time, great food, fun and laughter, a good time together AND” I added with a twinkle in my eye, “that […]

There was nothing redeeming about the house. It was dirty, disorganized, and could hardly be said to have four walls and a roof. Built from scraps from the dump, the chickens and ducks had free rein of the abode.  There was dirt everywhere and the smell of pigs permeated the warm air. It was all I could do […]

The women all around me at the Step Class seem so proficient. They know all the moves and have the choreography down pat. Meanwhile, I am fumbling through the “gallop”, the straddle”, and trying to remember the difference between the ”three knee” versus the ”three step”. The perspiration is streaming off of me and I am going at 10% of […]

As I spoke last week with one of the most important members of my team, I remembered how Krista came into my life. It’s been almost two years now since I was invited to do a teleclass for Leesa Barnes in Toronto.  Two women showed up on the call. Now Leesa assured me that more women would be […]

I just returned from co-facilitating a Goddess retreat on the big island of Hawaii. Hurricane Flossie was threatening to strike right up until the morning my plane left. There’s nothing like flying out wondering if you will land at the other end.  Hawaii turned out to be no rainier than it normally is.   
The retreat was amazing although I […]
