Through Anxiety: A Path of Healing
How do we make sense of the chapters of our lives we'd rather didn't exist? How do we re-write the table of contents when our story strays from what we had planned?

Do You See?
"See what you have to look forward to now?"
The whisper in my ear made my smile widen. It was Dec. 10th and we were on our first outing with our new baby. She was only 10 days old, but we braved the frigid Yukon winter to attend the Christmas pageant at a small mission church.

I Want my Baby Back
I wanted my life to go back to normal, but nothing could change the fact that I would always miss my baby.

Tears from Blind Eyes
"How's my little girl?" asked my uncle reaching out to his daughter pulling her close. She giggled and my heart drooled as I watched him give her a loving hug and a kiss. At 10 years of age I cried out in silence for a little of that tenderness. Words of endearment never slipped from my dad's lips. And... >Read More

The Rock
I based my whole life on a t-shirt which read: "Basketball is life and the rest is details."
I had finally reached the pinnacle of my basketball career. All the sacrifices, hard work, and persistence had finally paid off. I was going to the 1996 Olympic Games. We were representing Canada, competing against the world's best, chasing after a gold...... >Read More
