Welcome!

My professional site is http://www.imagineacircle.com and that’s where you can find out more about books I’ve written, or consulting services we offer, or classes I teach at Douglas College, the B.C. Justice Institute or in the community at places like Spectrum Society or other organizations.

For a while now I’ve been wanting a site that I could get personal in – reviews of restaurants, recipes, gardening, community and life. I’ve recently “re-retired” – that should be a posting of its own!! so that seemed like a time to create a new site.

The idea of “strong with you” comes from Elder Woody X̱aad Kíl Morrison who I was lucky enough to spend time with. I am tempted to say “too little” time but really in keeping with his teachings, I need to say I was lucky to spend time with him. That man was a gift and his memory and teaching continue to inspire. One of the things he used to say was that he could be strong, because he was “with you” / with us – such a lovely concept for someone so strong in so many areas. As my Jewish family says, “may his memory be a blessing.”

And, I am strong, because I am with you.
