This week, in honour of Remembrance Day in Canada, I’m talking about how modelling peace can only come once we’ve confronted our losses. Countries continually at war rarely have opportunity to grieve, express anguish, and the rage associated with relatives, friends, and community members dying for reasons associated with war. No sooner have atrocities happened Read more about Leading Through Love[…]

It is in these places where the big events of coming in, growing, being born, and living our existence stick with us. If soul, for one reason or another, Read more about Leaning Into The Light[…]
