Sitting in the Calgary airoort and taking in the view – fresh snow fell over night in the mountains. The white caps are glowing in the morning sun.
I am on my way to Winnipeg, the 8th stop on my second cross country tour for one of my pharma clients. It continues to amaze me that I can travel to all these cities, beginning with London and Toronto week one, then on to St. John’s, Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver week two, and finally Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa week three. Somehow the notion of travelling these great distances continues to defy my imagination, even though I have done it many times.
Jim joined me for a 4 day hiatus over the weekend and we have been fortunate to walk the city trails, enjoying Prince’s Park, as well as driving out to Canmore to visit with friends and enjoy the mountainous scenery up close. The Rockies are a rare beauty to be enjoyed, as is the Harbour walk in Victoria and Signal Hill in NFLD, all of which I have experienced in this last week. I feel like a European tourist completing a cross county tour of Canada in one week.
What have I learned along the way:
– how to disrobe quickly, shedding shoes, belts and jackets, at each check point
– to be diligent regarding any liquid, gel or paste in my hand luggage – I have had several items confiscated
– to always maintain a sense of humour with the folks tearing my luggage apart as it makes my experience and their day that much more pleasant
– to always be early so not to have to panic when the check in process has a very long line
– to offer attractionCARDS to those who cross my path – they always put a smile on the faces of agents and others in jobs that can be challenging.
– to have a light fiction in hand to read and use this for entertainment – sex and smut is the best!
– to have a great mix of work and pleasure, get lots of sleep and eat well
– to breathe deeply whenever any suggestion of stress appears
– to set intentions for each event I facilitate and enjoy the participants for who they are (this is after all a series on communicating with different energies)
– to love my way everyday.
I am so grateful to The Universe for affording me this opportunity to touch the lives of others, if only in a small way (or something better).
Until next time…
