MoreYoga – what is it really? And an Isha Yoga Asanas workshop in Calgary, January 20 and 21, 2018
Yoga means union. Yogis, people who practice yoga, believe our individuality is an illusion and yoga’s purpose is to help us go beyond our limited perception of existence to realize our oneness.

MoreKeep your chin up – a tribute to my father
My father, Reginald Keith Robicheau, died last night. He was 79 years old. I cannot make it to his funeral. I will use this space to pay a tribute to his life. I loved him dearly and he was a wonderful Dad to me but I said my good-byes to him while he was alive. […]

More@TownofStAndrews – how do I love thee? This video shows 1000 ways #travel #SeeNewBrunswick #ExploreCanada
New Brunswick is an inside job. Those of us from there return frequently. We bring family and friends. That’s most of the tourism. The rest of the world considers our little corner of Canada a drive-through on the way to Maine or Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia or Quebec. I hope that you’ll at least […]
