IMPORTANT UPDATE
As of April 2024, my blog has moved over to Substack where I’m co-hosting A Tender Space (together with my business partner at Centre for Holding Space). You can find my new writing plus podcast episodes there, or sign up below to get them in your inbox.
Here’s some of my earlier writing…
Row, row, row your boat
The dragonboat tournament is over. We did fairly well, for a new team. But Marcel's team did even better. Here they are winning their final heat... (If you listen carefully at the beginning, you'll hear Julie shout "go Dad!" And if you watch Marcel's boat cross the...
I am dragon, hear me roar
Here's how I'm spending the weekend...At the end of the day, when all is at rest...Note: If you click on that second shot to enlarge it, you'll see just how much fun I'm having. I think I'm hooked.
Books

Yikes!
Remember a few posts ago when I made a rather cryptic comment about trying to plan a trip to meet some "important" people, but also needing to be here to plan a big event with some other "important" people? Well, it's ALL happening. IN ONE WEEK. Two major meetings and...
Honoured to know her
