Yesterday I went to a Writer’s workshop at Rosebank Union Church. The guest speaker was Lucy Gannon, renowned British playwright, television writer and producer. She shared with us her writing journey, challenges and even the design of her lifestyle that supports her work. It hit a nerve when she said, “As a scriptwriter you’re out …

The Experimental Journey
Throughout my adult life I have been part of many intentional networks that have shaped not only my career, but my worldview and circle of friends.

The Crippled Visionary
I stumble forward. My pains, my hopes, my dreams, my big hairy audacious goal, my legendary pioneering vision, my disappointments, my failures, conversations with my idealistic sixteen year old self. I am the master of my destiny operating within God's domain. Yet so much uncertainty, so much self-doubt, so much public portrayal of prosperity, so …
Our Collective Values Will Determine The Future Of The World
I am often astounded at how we as the human race have assumed trust of each other. We trust that the driver at the next intersection won’t run through a red traffic light to end our day, we trust that the bank will hold our pennies in a safe place, we trust that the ingredients …

An Almost 15 year old meets Nelson Mandela in 1995
The day before my 15th birthday in 1995 when Nelson Mandela spoke at my school, I did not fully understand the enormity of the man, although I was in awe of him and thought he was a giant with big hands when they shook mine. I remember the media fussing about an eye operation that …

South African Traveler Nightmares, the things they don’t tell you!
One of the most exciting things in life is the promise of a new destination to concur, one more bucket-list location ticked off. The adventure of immersing yourself in a new culture; the sights, smells and tastes of travel. The collection of passport stamps to showoff and the pride of owning more than one passport …
