Picture from Microsoft Clipart There are three aspects of animal that may be sent to guide us – the mythic (the physical aspect); the symbolic or archetype (the universal story that each animal carries to us); and finally, the energetic which is the spirit of the animal which speaks to our soul. To further set some language guidelines around the discussion of spirit animals, we need to talk Read Full Story
Photo courtesy of Roger Joyeux....... I have been a consultant and project manager working for others and an entrepreneur for twenty years. In the past two years, I have learned that regardless of how far one travels (I have pretty much covered most of the US in the last two years) there is no place like home. Oh, it can seem quite glamorous to live in the luxury Hilton for a week or stay Read Full Story
Picture from Microsoft Clipart Time is fascinating because it is limited - a scarce resource - or so we think! The most common refrain one hears is "I don't have time!" This may be for work, recreation, or just plain living. When you ask someone what the time is, you will get an amazing range of answers. As Alexander Pope says - "T is with our judgments as our watches — none, Go just alike, Read Full Story
"Pelican flock on the Bow River" Copyright 2008 by Judith Hirst-Joyeux Pelicans are dedicated fishermen, and seem to have an unerring sense of where the fish are and how long they will be in that area. When the fish have moved on, the pelican group will rise into the air in a flurry of white, and soar up the river (or down, as the case may be) looking for the next pocket of Read Full Story
My friend Rachel sent me this great story about a guy named Joel who saw a family in distress, and proceeded to rescue them! I love birds and animals. When I hear about someone doing something wonderful to help animals, I want to celebrate it because we humans do so many things to destroy birds and animals. Thank you, Joel, and everyone, at Sterling Bank! Judy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read Full Story

This picture and the caption were in an email from a friend. I don't know who the photographer was. I do applaud him or her. What this picture makes me think of is a child happily colouring without any thought to lines, Read Full Story
This article first appeared in my blog in April of 2007. A client and I were talking about change, and it seemed appropriate to run this article again. Judith Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska from Icss.net I was searching for information about something, and a headline gave me pause for thought. "Ice climbers give eyewitness accounts of global warming Last Updated: Saturday, April 7, Read Full Story
"Two mallard ducks out of water" Copyright May 2008 by Judith Hirst-Joyeux Each day for several weeks, my dogs and I would find these two mallard ducks walking along the path ahead of us. It seemed so odd that these animals which are normally afraid of humans and most things, for that matter, would persist in being on the path. They very seldom flew away. Most often, they would simply Read Full Story
"Silhouette of an oak tree in early spring 2008" Copyright March 2008 by Judith Hirst-Joyeux I was flipping through some pictures and I found this picture that I'd taken in the early spring. The silhouette of the tree against the sky and the bleakness around it makes the tree seem dead. Yet, it is very active, and as one walks the path near it, the smell of Read Full Story
