I Want to RANT!
I want to RANT! I think I have been watching too much of Rick Mercer lately as I find myself with RANT – envy. Why do I want to rant – another federal election! More importantly I want to rant because of how the campaign is being run, by all parties. Do these politicians think…

Mining Diamonds
In the February edition of the roadSIGNS newsletter, I shared with my readers the following: I want to tell you, in case you have yet to realize it, that each of you has a diamond within you. Your diamond represents all the special aspects of you that make you unique, whether this is a specific…

Full Moon
As our vacation on Kiawah Island draws to a close, Jim and I are taking in those important beach walks, this evening to the light of an almost full moon. The weather here is finally warming up and as we strolled along this evening, it felt down right balmy. In the final days, I can feel…

Valentines and More
I checked my e-mail this morning, the day after Valentine’s Day and found the following message from Michelle Allinotte: Love Stories for Valentine’s Day by Candice N. Aiston In my adult life, I have learned a lot about love, and I guess the biggest thing I’ve learned is that love is not a feeling, love…

I Am Back!
It has been three months since my last post. No, I won’t bore you with the usual trite excuse ‘where did the time go’? It went and here I am once again. I took some time off after landing myself in the hospital in late November. The time was booked off for a vacation in Stowe…

Soldiering On – A Rant!
I was enjoying W5 last Sunday, appreciating a story about two young soldiers who had decided to race a car in Newfoundland’s notorious race the Targa. The story led off with two soldiers, one leg, and profiled two young soldiers, Andrew Knisley and Jody Mitic, who had returned from Afghanistan with significant physical challenges as the result of loosing one or…

On the Road Again
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…

Boundaries
Everywhere I go, whether for a walk or a drive, I see the SIGNS that suggest boundaries. When a new property is about to be developed I watch the surveyors clarifying the property lines. When the actual building begins, chain link fences appear to keep away intruders. As a property matures, the fences change to…

From Control to Curiosity
“Is it my age?” I wonder. As a newly minted 60 year old all I can think of these days is how important it is to be curious. Curious? Yes! About life, about what’s up for me in the next decade, about my work in the world and more. Life is, if you will, an…

Soon to Be Launched!
Yesterday we (Jim and I) spent the day with a crew for the local cable network Cogeco filming the first five episodes of the roadSIGNS TV Show. I have for years imagined what it would be like to host a TV or radio show, essentially a coaching program, where viewers could pick up tips for…

Pre-Occupations
It’s one of those lazy rainy fall days where all you want to do is curl up and read a book. It is quiet business wise. This is not a complaint simply a notice as in those quiet times I get to plan, reflect and to notice what’s going on around me. A lot of SOS…

Black Dots
There is a saying that goes like this: Where ever your attention goes, energy flows. It serves as a reminder for you and me to wake up and recognize what we give our energy to everyday. For example: I was at a networking meeting yesterday. As I often do, I took a few minutes at…
