The great thing about the Internet is you can research everything online. The horrible thing about the Internet is you can research everything online. It’s the Wild West and the onus is on you to make sure the information you’re getting is trustworthy.

What is Trust – Do you Know?
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

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.

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
