On a day dedicated to love, the topic of social connection seems relevant to me. Longevity is not best predicted by physical health determinants. It’s predicted by how much we connect, engage, and mingle with each other. I believe that loneliness is the next public health crisis.

So honoured to have been asked to be the Keynote Speaker in the MK Board. I can’t say enough about how lovely my audience was and how welcome the women in this photo made me feel. Visiting Cape Breton in the fall is always a real treat.

“Trying to live a life of certainty is an endless quest.”

The year leading up to the opening of Threshold Psychology was not an easy one. Although I so desperately wanted to take the risk, I was often overwhelmed with uncertainty: Am I worthy? Shouldn’t my current job just be enough? What if I fail? What if I end up in financial ruin?

I waited until the last moment to resign from my 21 year career in public education. I was physically sick with the endless playing of the “what if” game.

I chose to take the risk despite my mind and my body saying don’t do it. Why? Because nothing is certain. Nothing is permanent. And living a life you think is safe doesn’t allow for great reward.

One month in and I’m feeling grateful that I didn’t listen to my inner critic. Onward and upward.
