Through this online portal, I hope to serve and help others, share differing perspectives and discuss topics that are hard.

Learning to Fish. Tackle, Turtle, Traumatized.

Posted on April 17, 2023December 21, 2023 by Translate Reality

My sister and I decided that this year I would learn to fish, or at the very least, learn the names of fish. For the record, I do not actually touch a fishing rod in this story. I commit to learning to fish. I learn about a tackle, a turtle and being traumatized. Now I…

The Zipper Technique – Driving Effectively and Efficiently

Posted on April 16, 2023July 6, 2023 by Translate Reality

Driving effectively and efficiently helps everyone stay happy on the road. This article is about the Zipper Technique. Apparently, this technique for driving like a boss through lane closures is used all over the world. Canadians, embarrassingly, have been pegged as both too polite and too aggressive to employ this technique properly. Why can’t we…

22 years ago today I was driving home from coachin 22 years ago today I was driving home from coaching gymnastics. There was chaos, darkness, fear, noise, and silence. André was alive when I knelt down beside him and looked in his eyes. I physically felt his soul leave; his death from suicide changed the trajectory of my life and brought people together who never would have met. I spoke to them today. I speak to them in my heart all the time. We are all connected forever because of this horrific tragedy. I am sorry that you are not here today, André.
This book, Hidden Treasures, was written by André’s mom who I met 11 years after his death. On the night of his passing, others were there that have also reconnected. Everyone who surrounded him at his passing has found each other. The link in all of this is, of course Louise (❤️), and more deeply, importantly André is the link. Because of this tragedy some of the most important mentors in my life arrived.
I just had a coffee date with Louise and our mutual friend and she continues to inspire me to this day. I always tell her that I want to be like her when I grow up. she has taught me so much about grief, resilience, and curiosity. She has also helped me find a path to faith, which is a lifelong experience of cognitive dissonance for me.
Look up this book and find the hidden treasures that Louise did in the deep tragedy of her son’s passing. Here is a link to an article. I wrote about his death from suicide and a poem by Louise called Transformation.

https://translatereality.com/suicide_transformation/

André continues to teach me very much about strength. Louise continues to teach me very much about love. Our mutual friends continue to teach me about the deep value in connection. This tragic loss to the world, while never filled again, has birthed more growth, love, and gratitude than I could imagine. And in my moments of darkness, I do believe that I have gained strength to push through because of my experience with André.

“The version I am today transformed from yesterday and many other yesterdays. The concept that we would be different if our past was different is an unnecessary burden to carry.”
