Having completed my career as a family physician December 31, 2019, I have been enjoying turning my attention towards workshop and retreat creation and facilitation, and to writing books.  I self-published my fourth book, We Are Already Whole: A Book of Reflections and Invitations, in February 2021. This book was designed to help us get to know our True Self. In October 2023, I self-published my fifth book, Fully Connected: How to Live A More Contented and Free Life, in October 2023. This book explains how, having discovered one’s True Self, we can remain, as much as possible, aware of our connection with our True Self, during the course of living our lives. This involves learning how to deal with the distractions that keep us from feeling our connection, as well as learning how to deepen our connection. This book is also a book of reflections, accompanied by a series of invitations.

In the fall of 2024, I self-published Tent Pegs: How to Live With More Strength and Stability. We are living in tumultuous times these days! If we liken ourselves to a small tent in a storm, we need solid tent pegs to keep us grounded and stable. In Tent Pegs I described some of my personal ‘tent pegs’ , and offered accompanying exercises for each one. Shortly after publishing Tent Pegs, I realized I had more to say, and I began working on More Tent Pegs: Acquiring More Skills for Life in A Tempestuous World. I am happy to say we released this book in September 2025! It offers twenty more ‘tent pegs’, and twenty more exercises that I hope will offer you more ways to feel as much inner peace and stability as possible in the middle of our chaotic times.

In April 2022, I began a year of training to become a Certified Sage-ing Leader (CSL) for Sage-ing International, and graduated March 26,2023. Since then I have created and led a variety of workshops on such topics as Life Review, Life Repair, and How to Write an Ethical Will. These workshops help those of us who are elders to find meaning and fulfillment at this stage of our lives. In 2024, I became a mentor for interns going through the CSL program, and I have been thoroughly enjoying it!

The year 2026 marks the 15th anniversary of the publication of my first book, Healing Soul Misery: Finding the Pathway Home. I have updated it by reformatting it and adding a beautiful new cover. I have also added a 15th anniversary edition forward! Of all my books, I believe Healing Soul Misery has been the one to have the biggest impact. Over the years, people who read it reported to me that it made a huge difference in their lives, because it alleviated their feelings of inner desperation, meaninglessness, and hopelessness. This happened as they came to know who they were and what their life purpose was. Some people even let me know that although they had been contemplating suicide, they didn’t do it after reading my book! Remembering and realizing that, I wanted to bring the book to the world’s attention again. I have created some video and audio recordings wherein I discuss the main themes of the book in bite sized chunks. These will be available on YouTube soon! I am hopeful that in its 15th year, Healing Soul Misery may again bring clarity, freedom, meaning, joy, and hope to people who are searching for these things. Oh, may it be so!!
