I went salsa dancing last week for the first time in several weeks. It was over two months, which in the span of my 10- year salsa dancing stint is a pretty long time. Even over the course of my life as a dancer (I started at age 3 or 4) 2 months is a [...]

Facebook kindly told me today is the United Nations International Day of Peace.  Ironically that platform is not the most peaceful place to me to spend time and I try to minimize it as much as possible. I am only on it to find out about local salsa events. It is a means to a peaceful [...]

You have probably heard a version of the quote, “That which is measured, improves.” Quantum scientists recognize this phenomenon identified by Werner Heisenberg: When particles are observed their behavior changes. He said, “What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.” I see this in my work as well. [...]

It’s not what you know, it’s what you do. I heard that quote from Todd Henry. I’m not sure if he said it first. When I google it all I get is people who said, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” I suppose this is also good information. It’s not my specific point today, but [...]

In my head, I’ve been constructing a revamp of an article I wrote for the Plan Facebook page a few weeks back.  I wrote it at the time because that week 3 patients asked me about calcium supplementation after seeing a story CBC shared about how it can do more harm than good. Truthfully this is not new [...]

In the last two weeks I’ve had two people apologize to me for sexually inappropriate things they had said to me. Both men. One was four years ago, and the other was eight. I’m not talking yesterday. Years ago. And both men, with in the same fortnight decided to make amends? Curious right? I certainly [...]

On the weekend I purchased a 2 week audio program to help me with an area that I’ve been struggling with. I almost didn’t buy it because I knew it would take time each day to go through the program and get the best benefits. I had this thought: “Gawsh. It’s going to take about [...]
