REALTalk On Chronic Pain
Last Sunday on REALTalk, we tackled a topic that approximately 20% of the population is dealing with: chronic pain. I really can’t believe the number of people in my own life who have at one time or another lived with chronic pain, and I wanted to spend the hour learning about the bio-psycho-social effects of…
Everyday Miracles.
I want to share something that happened last week. Something extraordinary. And yet, had I been too busy to notice, the moment would have simply slipped away. It was a day like many others.

REAL Talk.
Last week, a friend of mine was really struggling. She reached out and we talked for a very long time. It was heartbreaking hearing her crying over the phone, but it also felt incredibly…sacred. I felt deeply humbled by her choice to confide in me and share the source of her pain. While I haven’t…

I Am In Pain…So Here I Sit.
Two days before my father died, the priest at my parents’ church visited him in the hospital. My father asked a question, somewhat jokingly, somewhat seriously. He asked, “What will I be in heaven?” The priest answered, “John, you will be in heaven exactly what you were here on earth. You will be an enthusiast.” This past…
Food For The “Sole”
Today I get to share with you my conversation with someone who truly changed my life for the better by helping me to get back on my feet both literally and figuratively. :). In this video, I talk with Ryan Grant, co-owner of Sole Fit here in Ottawa, about a subject that you may not think…
