Here’s some of my earlier writing…
Joy Journal #7
1. This magical summer. Beautiful weather and a lack of bugs - almost more goodness than a "proud-to-be-hardy" Winnipeger can handle! 2. My feet. Oh my - they have carried me so far this summer! Walking, walking, and more walking. Yesterday - 18 km. The day before -...
If my Dad could see me now
It was 1992. I'd just gotten home from spending an evening with my boyfriend (who became my husband a year later). "Your dad called," my roommate said, as though it were just an ordinary every-day occurrence. "My DAD called?!? Are you SURE?" My dad didn't call. Ever....
An end of summer sale, in honour of ME! (And you!)
At the beginning of this summer, I turned 45. It was kind of a big deal - a mid-way point in my life. When I turned 45, I decided that, instead of getting all serious and introspective (like I am inclined to do), I would do something fun to honour what I like about...
The instrument I am becoming
Sometimes the right words show up at just the right time. This is what showed up this morning: Suffering makes an instrument of each of us, so that standing naked, holes and all, the unseen vitalities can be heard through our simplified lives. ...In every space...
Leading Full Circle – A Guest Post by Mary Stacey

The time is NOW! Women (and men), start your engines!
There is so much bad news out there, if you look for it. Riots in London, failing economies, famine in East Africa, changing climate causing erratic weather disasters... the list goes on and on. Some days it feels like the whole world is crashing in around us. It's...
Random, honest thoughts on writing and life
What do you write the day after you’ve released an e-book on writing to impact change and you've heard from people all over the world that they are enjoying it and sharing it with other writers? What big and meaningful thing can you say that follows that up in a...
Writing to Impact Change – Free ebook full of tips
Good writing changes us, whether we are the writers or the readers. I've taught a few writing courses this year and have plans for more in the coming months. No matter what kind of writing course I teach, whether it's PR writing, business writing, or personal writing,...
How to feel fully alive
1. Pack a few canoes with everything you'll need to survive for the next few days. Together with 8 other adventurous women (who aren't afraid to pee in the woods), paddle across three lakes, carry the canoes and all of your provisions across two portages, and at the...
Into the woods – a wanderer picks up a paddle
Tomorrow I will be here: Picture it - 11 women, 5 canoes, 3 lakes, 2 portages, 5 tents, 1 remote campsite on the edge of the lake, 0 roads, 0 flush toilets, 0 electronic gadgets, 1 garden trowel to dig temporary toilets in the woods, and dozens of great conversations....
