I am learning a really hard lesson right now. The Art of No. It is much more complex than I thought it would be and I guess I am a little surprised at myself for it hitting me so hard. I thought saying yes and saying no was pretty simple. You are asked a question, you evaluate the value to… Read more →

Friday Reflection #FRF Ikigai & Adventures
There are somedays that you have to pinch yourself a little, cause it just feels unreal. Today is one of those days. I have been dreaming of living in New York City since I was a teenager. Since we started coming here almost once a year for mother/daughter weekends, since I fell in love with the hustle and bustle of… Read more →
Friday reFlection #FrF Task & Maintenance
I was grateful to spend a week teaching and learning. It was an exceptional week working with along side people who I admire and had the opportunity of making mistakes with. Seeing that together, we are all going through the same things and that this work isn’t about perfection. It is an honour to be reminded of the mess and… Read more →
Think Different.
I just discovered a really great quote. In 1997, Steve Jobs put it so eloquently. In posters for Apple, this quote completely resonates with me and I didn’t know they existed until now.

While you were being enlightened I reflected on why I would never want to go on a 10 day silent meditation retreat. Before you left we talked about… Read more →
Feeling Scattered
As summer comes to a close, there is an emergence of people trying to fit in meetings. I love meetings and meeting new people, so a day of 5 meetings is a good day in my books. So on this day, I was especially excited to not only have 5 meetings but then a birthday dinner, a concert in the… Read more →
When the power goes out
You can’t always predict when it’s coming or how long it will last, sometimes just before it happens there is a flicker. It is like you blinked a little longer than usual and before you know it, the power is out. And you are left wondering what happened and what to do next. You can no longer rely on your… Read more →
Time to download
Bah! I just wrote a whole blog about downloading and it disappeared…there is something so ironic about that. I will try and re-write as best as I can from my memory. Do you ever feel like your processor is going to overload or your files need to be wiped? Or at least resorted and filed again. That is precisely how… Read more →
