I’m excited about the new book I’m writing on trust and wanted to give you a sneak peak. It’s going to be published early next year, but I couldn’t wait to show you a little bit of it.
I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Politics & Trust
I made a comment to a friend the other day about how people are connecting on Facebook and sharing their opinions on everything political. I said I liked and trusted people more when I didn’t know their politics. I should add I trust people more when their politics are the same as mine. I was … Read more
Truth Won’t Get You Where You Need To Go
I don’t use telling the truth as part of my trust model, for very good reasons. Why? It was one of the discussions on Facebook that had people taking sides. Each side threw their collective facts at the discussion; each firmly entrenched in their beliefs and not willing to be swayed. At the end of … Read more
Happy Mothers Day!
When our daughter Acacia was small her first words were “Do it self”… well actually her first word was “sock” but that doesn’t fit with my story. From a very young age she was extremely independent. She tried to take over the management of the house and the mothering of Phillip. OK, the management of … Read more
Learning a New Culture
I felt like a kid with new clothes and crayons on the first day of school. Everything was exciting and new and I was meeting and making new friends daily.

She sent me this post today and I thought it was so good it should be re-posted so more people could read it. Here it is… Overlapping is something I find … Read more
Transitions
Not fully in one world or the other. I’m still working and living in Canada and probably have 4 months before I move to India. My excitement is tempered by the amount of work that needs to be done and the goodbyes that I face. I look at all of the friendships I have made … Read more
New Adventures – A Move to an Exotic Land!
My husband Ric and I love adventure. When we met, he was a fresh university grad working and saving money for a trip through Africa. He had his itinerary booked for an overland excursion that took him from North Africa to South Africa, ending with a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. We weren’t expecting to fall … Read more
Silence is Golden – and other false assumptions!
The affect one scared or angry person can have in an organization is what I call “the startled bird syndrome”. When you watch a flock of birds, if one is scared they all start taking off. The message the one bird sends is instant “We’re in danger, get the flock out of here”. In the … Read more
