Developing Inner Excellence, Lincoln, ON (2025)

12/09/2025

Today I’m reminded of what a blessing it is to sit with those in long-term care, to hold space for families during palliative moments, and to walk beside loved ones who are preparing to leave this world behind.

To be invited into those intimate moments is both humbling and deeply honouring.

These are the places where earthly life slows down…
where dignity matters more than ever…
and where presence speaks louder than words.

As a chaplain, coach, and companion in these seasons, I am continually reminded that every person is still a person—fully human, fully deserving of love—no matter what their mind or body can no longer do.

A gentle word to anyone whose loved one no longer remembers you:

Please don’t give up on them.

Memory does not define their worth.
Their identity is not erased because their mind has changed.
They are still your parent, your spouse, your sibling, your friend—
the one who once lived vibrantly, laughed fully, and loved deeply.
Their reality may look different now…
but they still need connection.
They still need compassion.
They still need you.

Your presence—even when it feels unnoticed—brings comfort their soul still recognizes.

May we continue to honour our elders, love the vulnerable, and show up for those who can no longer show up for themselves.

There is no greater ministry than simply being present.

The Gift of Becoming a Published Author (Voices of Impact)

Looking for a FREE Christmas gift that actually changes a young person’s life?

This year, consider giving something deeper than a gadget, sweater, or stocking stuffer…

🎁 Give them the chance to become a published author. 🎁

Yes — truly.

Voices of Impact is a youth & young adult anthology (ages 16–24) created to help young people:

Find their voice - Tell their story - Build confidence - Heal through expression

Become part of something meaningful

Every participant receives coaching, support, and the opportunity to share their story in a published book.

Imagine telling a teen or young adult this Christmas:

✨ “Your story matters — and next year, the world will get to read it.” ✨

That’s impact.

That’s purpose.

That’s a gift worth giving.

If you know a young person who needs encouragement, direction, or a reason to believe in themselves…

this may be the most meaningful gift you give this year.

As leaders, parents, and mentors, our role isn’t to frustrate our children but to guide them.
We are their authority, but we are never meant to be authoritative. When we lead by example—present, patient, and steady—we build trust instead of fear. And trust can keep our children from drifting into confusion or going astray.

Our words shape their confidence. Our presence shapes their direction.
Let’s lead them with wisdom, humility, and grace so they don’t just grow — they flourish.

⸻

➡️ This is why the Voices of Impact Anthology exists.

A youth initiative for ages 16–24, where young people are guided step-by-step to write and share their personal story in a published book.

It helps them:
✔ build confidence
✔ find their voice
✔ make sense of their experiences
✔ step into leadership
✔ and inspire others through their testimony

If you know a young person who needs encouragement, purpose, or a place to be heard, please share this with them.

Their voice matters.
Their story matters.
And it may just change someone else’s future.

Youth & Mental Health: Voices of Impact
Building Confidence. Finding Purpose. Growing Leaders.

So many young people today feel lost, unseen, unheard — and unsure where they belong.
Behind their silence are stories waiting to be told, gifts waiting to be discovered, and leaders waiting to emerge.

The Voices of Impact Initiative is a three-stage youth empowerment journey that helps them rediscover confidence, purpose, and identity. Through mentorship, mental wellness coaching, and storytelling workshops, participants transform from isolation and self-doubt into courageous authors, speakers, and leaders — ready to use their voice for good.

Building Confidence. Finding Purpose. Growing Leaders.

We’re seeking partners and sponsors who believe in building a generation that leads from healing and hope.
Your support directly funds these life-changing stages, culminating in the Voices of Impact initiative — a powerful event where youth emerge as sharing their stories of resilience and growth - showing others that they have a hope and a purpose.

We strive to break cycles and have the youth of today, bring stregth and leadership into their future instead of pain and brokeness.

Their voice matters.

✨ Be part of their story. Help turn pain into purpose.
💠 Partner with Us. Invest in the Future.

No isn’t never.

Don’t give up.

Try again.

And Try Again…. And again.

Maybe put it on the back burner for now if you must, but, don’t turn off the burner- keep it on simmer.

If you have been told no, been turned down, told you weren’t what they were looking for, told no for your product, book, idea, service, remember,
No doesn’t mean never.

👂🦻Listening only with our ears gathers information, but listening with our hearts gives us understanding, connection, and alignment with deeper truths.

📚Book signings aren’t just about a name on a page — they’re moments of listening. At each signing, I get to hear pieces of people’s stories: their struggles, their victories, their silent battles. And when I listen with my heart, not just my ears, I’m reminded that resilience is built in those deeper connections.❤️

That is what makes resilience sustainable. Why?

Because mental resilience requires the ability to filter through noise and find what truly matters.🧠🧹
