I was born & grew up near where I live now near Ottawa, Canada,
have traveled to nearly 40 countries (Europe, Oz, NZ, Pacific Islands)
& over much of North America, living for 12 years in southern
Europe.
Much of my life was spent in the corporate world,
creating & running companies. I left that behind in 1999 & have
spent an ever-increasing amount of my time studying, writing &
teaching what I have been discovering about emotional healing &
self-development.

I was wonderfully surprised to see someone from Ottawa on this site. I do not think it is a coincidence that I should come across you at this time. I would like to invite you to join HUB. This is an amazing group of people. There is a HUB group here on Peace Portal. Also, with the company in the pre-launch stage, it is a very exciting time to get involved. I returned to Ottawa (and Wakefield) late last night. You sound like someone who will appreciate the people in HUB and also the business model.
As a visionary and a healer I would like to connect with you.
In Love and Light,
Patricia
I like your profile! I'd like you to join me on mepeace.org,
a platform for peacemakers advancing Middle East peace.

My companies were involved in computer consultancy, systems analysis and design, management, software sales and support, and training, although not all at the same time.
I just saw you were online and was intrigued by your profile as to what kind of businesses you were involved in running?
Best wishes

There are 3 groups of countries:
- those I visited for a short period of time (1 to 5 days), mainly to see if I was interested in visiting them for longer
- those I visited for a medium period of time (5 to 75 days), to get a proper feel for what life was like there and get to know the people a bit
- those where I lived for more than 75 days and really got a good feel for the culture and people.
The latter two groups involved living as much as possible as a local - staying in an apartment or house if possible and having a non-tourist approach. Sometimes I would work or at least do the same sorts of things that local workers do in terms of transportation and dealing with the local bureaucracies (getting phone service, shopping at the local markets, etc. etc.) This really helped me understand the challenges and advantages of different systems.
I started writing as a teenager (poetry mainly) and then articles when I was in my early twenties, then my first book and it just took off from there. :-)
