About Me

I was trained and practiced as a lawyer for many years and have a passionate interest in justice. I like the definition of Justice that I have heard from Matthew Fox; that justice and sustainability are the same. For there to be justice it must be sustainable and if it's not sustainable it's not just.
This fits with my interest in social justice, in that suppression of individuals and groups is not sustainable, and with my interest in environmental issues as we cannot continue to use up our resources at the rates we are.

 I would like to write more however I am currently choosing to spend most of my time in direct contact with people; friends, clients, groups and audiences

I like helping others, bringing spirituality into the workplace, helping with environmental and social justice causes and organizations.  Singing, Dancing, hanging out with friends.
I am active volunteering with Be The Change Earth Alliance. www.bethechangeearthalliance.org
 

I am the Executive Director of the Lawyers Assistance Program of B.C. www.lapbc.com
