Living The Journey

Compiles sixteen stories that reveal the potential of the natural-healing Journey method, describing how the co-author effectively applied alternative medicine and avoided surgery and drugs to combat her own health challenges.

Using different experiences in my life's journey, I have shown how one can gain profound knowledge as he/she travels on life's journey and utilize knowledge gained to serve humanity. I give examples from my elementary school days; trade school; immigration to England, UK; marriage; education; immigration to the USA; being the CEO of my own business, a pastor, and a visionary who oversees the building of a beautiful church edifice to house God's people. It must be noted how God has been with me on this journey. I give examples of what God has enabled me to accomplish at every stage. My journey has extended far beyond what is written in this book, Life Is a Journey. This book is to motivate, empower, and propel others to excel beyond what their natural eyes can see. I do hope that by reading this book, it will be a beacon of light to everyone who reads it, especially those who are in dark despair, that they will emerge and share Life Is a Journey with families, friends or groups. This book shows that there should be no room in one's heart for giving up despite one's circumstances, but to aim for excellence, knowing that God wants the best for His children.

Success is in the blood. There are men and women whom fate can never keep down they march forward in a jaunty manner, and take by divine right the best of everything that the earth affords them. But their success is not attained by means of share chance. They do not lie in wait, nor scheme, nor fawn, nor seek to adapt their sails to catch the breeze of popular favour. Instead, they are ever alert and alive to any good that may come their way, and when it comes they simply appropriate it, and tarrying not, move steadily onwards. For years my wife and I have been involved in helping people from a variety of backgrounds along their individual spiritual paths, our hearts have always throbbed with a passion to see people become the best them they can be.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE WRITERS’ TRUST SHAUGHNESSY COHEN PRIZE WINNER OF THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION ​Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Beverley McLachlin offers an intimate and revealing look at her life, from her childhood in the Alberta foothills to her career on the Supreme Court, where she helped to shape the social and moral fabric of the country. As a young girl, Beverley McLachlin’s world was often full of wonder—at the expansive prairie vistas around her, at the stories she discovered in the books at her local library, and at the diverse people who passed through her parents’ door. While her family was poor, their lives were rich in the ways that mattered most. Even at a young age, she had an innate sense of justice, which was reinforced by the lessons her parents taught her: Everyone deserves dignity. All people are equal. Those who work hard reap the rewards. Willful, spirited, and unusually intelligent, she discovered in Pincher Creek an extraordinary tapestry of people and perspectives that informed her worldview going forward. Still, life in the rural Prairies was lonely, and gaining access to education—especially for girls—wasn’t always easy. As a young woman, McLachlin moved to Edmonton to pursue a degree in philosophy. There, she discovered her passion lay not in academia, but in the real world, solving problems directly related to the lives of the people around her. And in the law, she found the tools to do exactly that. She soon realized, though, that the world was not always willing to accept her. In her early years as an articling student and lawyer, she encountered sexism, exclusion, and old boys’ clubs at every turn. And outside the courtroom, personal loss and tragedies struck close to home. Nonetheless, McLachlin was determined to prove her worth, and her love of the law and the pursuit of justice pulled her through the darkest moments. McLachlin’s meteoric rise through the courts soon found her serving on the highest court in the country, becoming the first woman to be named Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. She rapidly distinguished herself as a judge of renown, one who was never afraid to take on morally complex or charged debates. Over the next eighteen years, McLachlin presided over the most prominent cases in the country—involving Charter challenges, same-sex marriage, and euthanasia. One judgment at a time, she laid down a legal legacy that proved that fairness and justice were not luxuries of the powerful but rather obligations owed to each and every one of us. With warmth, honesty, and deep wisdom, McLachlin invites us into her legal and personal life—into the hopes and doubts, the triumphs and losses on and off the bench. Through it all, her constant faith in justice remained her true north. In an age of division and uncertainty, McLachlin’s memoir is a reminder that justice and the rule of law remain our best hope for a progressive and bright future.
