Peter
Everything happens for a reason, there's no such thing as a coincidence. Paths cross, unexpected events pop out of nowhere and our lives are changed. One such event happened when I was down south. Marc and I decided to go for a stroll on the sea wall in Stanley park and as we were trying to figure out how to legally park my car I noticed that the man behind us had a bunch of strange stickers on his arm. While Marc was swearing at the parking ticket machine I got nosey and asked about the stickers. This was the beginning of a wonderful and intriguing conversation. He said the stickers were a new Japanese healing technique that his friend had recommended. From there the dialogue developed at an amazing speed. He's a writer and he writes books on relationships. All kinds of relationships, personal, professional, with other people, with yourself. A very interesting man. I think we must have chatted for close to an hour. I love it when wonderful people just pop out of the woodwork. Our visit with Peter allowed me to re-examine some aspects of my life, forcing me to let some things go, put some things to rest and stop sitting on the fence. Move forward again. I highly regard those in life who can stop us in our tracks and make us think... gently. I am very much looking forward to reading Peters book.

Chere, as we make our way through Peter's writtings; we seem to come across sugestions that reflect some of our core beliefs.
It is not to say that we think as Peter does, but it is reasuring to know that in ssome aspects of our lives, we have chosen healthy and productive paths.
I have been making a conscious effort to focus on what we've read thus far. As we both find ourselfs in need of the occasional "boost"; Peter's writtings seem to fit the bill.
I so look forwards to having him grace us with is presence.
