It’s taking longer than expected...I was supposed to be finished my motorcycle course by now, but I was so, so, tired last Sunday I didn’t pass the skills test. I took it again Thursday and it was a breeze.The training has been amazing. Pacific Riding School has surpassed my expectations and I am honoured to learn from such professionals.The most interesting part of this experience has been the

The Fennec Fox- What is it about cute animals? We use pictures of them as avatars, send images along to friends via email and post them on our Facebook pages. If we see one up close we'll approach complete strangers to pet their dog or get concerned when we see a cat roaming free. Somehow, a cuddly little fuzz ball, connects us with a vulnerable part of ourselves. It allows us to feel soft and

A quick note to recognize two amazingly talented clients who received praise in the Vancouver media over the past week. Tanya Davis aka Netchick did an incredible job blogging at the Vancouver opera a few weeks back and is scheduled for a return engagement this Saturday (March 7) while attending Rigoletto. The story from the Georgia Straight here. The divine Ms. Emme Rogers was featured by

I sent this TED Talk to a client yesterday. We were talking about how we can often focus on what we don't want in our lives as opposed to focusing on what we do. As a result, we end up getting that which we least desire. By trying so hard to feel secure and being on guard constantly we lose our zest and passion. We end up fearing new people and experiences. As we try and create security in

Part of my job is to share new, interesting, inspiring and useful things about making your life better or that give you pleasure. I am endeavouring, once a week, to post "5 Fav Things". They could be photos, blogs, links, websites, articles or stories. Here are five in the last week that made me stop and take notice.An incredible photo called "Frozen Tisle" by Erica Hargreave, who is a Vancouver

I am a newcomer to social networking and I am totally enthralled. I recently discovered StumbleUpon. It’s like channel surfing and Facebooking at the same time. StumbleUpon gives you categories similar to what you would pick in your cable package; psychology, sports, current affairs, technology, lifestyle and so on. You check off what you are most interested in and hit the “Stumble” button. If

Over the past year I been inspired by a lot of amazing people, some I have never met. My life has changed as a result of the actions, words, hopes and beliefs of these dynamic individuals...Troy Priest - My brother, who is headed in a totally new direction, for the first time since he was 19. He is courageously embracing the unknown and has complete faith about getting there - wherever there is.

The other day a girlfriend asked me what my New Year’s resolutions were. I answered “to live with more joy and to continue to develop as a coach.” Then she said, “I think you need to get more specific.” LOL! Who’s the coach now? When dream building, goal setting or making New Year’s resolutions, if you’re not clear on what you really, really want it’s like going on a road trip, somewhere unknown

We all know laughter makes us feel good. In addition, laughter boosts our immune system and reduces stress hormones. Laughter can alleviate anger and connect us with others. It gives us physical release and when we really get into it, gives us a good core muscle work out!I had a close friend who believed in laughter so much he started almost every day with a bit of humour. It could be reading The

Robin Sharma is so amazing. In this vlog he talks about turbulence being another word for change and the human desire to resist it. However, with the ability to reframe change we can create huge opportunity.http://www.robinsharma.com/life_coach_ic_blog_496.htm

I am continually sent jokes, pictures, poems etc. via email. Honestly, most of the time I don’t get a chance to open them. Besides, I worry about viruses being carried in these little amusements.First thing this morning I received an email entitled “How is your lateral thinking?”. I didn't bother opening it, but didn't delete it either. Just before shutting things down for the night I looked at

I was looking at some of my old books today and came across "Undefended Love" by Jett Psaris and Marlena Lyons. I picked it up feeling inspiration. I remembered how, when I read it several years ago, it had a huge impact on the way I thought about relationships.Here is a passage about the profound essential self:In the work of cultivating intimacy it is helpful to draw a distinction between our
