“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

It’s been a while!
Sometimes brilliance and mastery takes going within, nurturing and discernment.
I discovered that beauty is a nutrient and one of my gifts is to witness it.

2022 for me is about being clear, confident, courageous and colourful.
Because life’s to short for anything else.
Inspired by #lakemcdonald#montana

Autumn falls, renewal rises.
Time to nurture our well kept prizes.
A woman comes in all shapes and sizes.
It’s hard to hide the magic inside us.
Time to rise time to flow.
You are more beautiful than you will ever know.
It’s up to you how you run the show.

One of the many things Covid-19 has taught us is that connection and community is everything.
We are not here to operate separately. We function better together.
As we begin this new week think about how much your contribution means to others.

Congratulations to Carrie and Boris Johnson on the happy news that they’re expecting another child. I’m very sorry to hear of Carrie’s earlier miscarriage. I'm sure that her speaking out will be of comfort to others. Every best wish to them both.
