Happy 4th to my friends in the US and Happy Canada holiday. I am taking a day of rest today. Hope you are, enjoying your holiday.

Walking today with NO tubes with bags for drainage or to deliver medication, except for an embedded chemo port, I felt SO FREE! I am SO grateful for the way this journey is unfolding. Excuse me men for a little ladies talk - skip this part if you wish. Today I even have on a bra. [...]

Late afternoon - we just returned from Denver where I had my drainage tube removed. Yahoo!!! I am free of all tubes. Now the idea is to heal before chemotherapy begins in early August and radiation, thereafter. This window allows me time to work with clients, coaches in training and colleagues. I will also travel to Toronto [...]

It has been for me and I believe it is also true for you [...]

Today is the first day after surgery, last Thursday June 24th, that i walked for my normal 1 hr period of time. How grateful I am to live in a place of such incredible beauty! My soul soars as I walk up and down the hills and valleys of our beloved canyon. Thanks to all [...]

What does it mean to answer the call to your greatness? Watch this video and experience how a man who has lost a leg and a woman who has lost an arm express their greatness through this beautiful dance The dance on You Tube. Thank You Katie and John for the gift of this video. [...]

Watch Joan read a poem by Rumi - The Source of Joy Video 6 I felt such joy as I was walking today in the canyon. I find this time in nature so rejuvenating. It allows me quiet time, time to settle in, within, peacefully, to let the world drift by and know I am part of [...]
