Having completed my career as a family physician January 1, 2020, 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. It has been good to see this little book make its way, slowly but surely, into the world. I enjoyed teaching an online companion workshop, which gave time and space to delve more deeply into the book via discussion and journaling.

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!

Lately, I have realized that 2026 will be the 15th anniversary of the publication of my first book, Healing Soul Misery: Finding the Pathway Home. I am planning to update it, to create a 15th anniversary edition. Of all my books, I believe this one has had the most impact. Many people who read it have reported to me that it made a huge difference in their lives, in some cases preventing the reader from committing suicide, due to their feelings of desperation and meaninglessness. Remembering and realizing that, I want to elevate this book, bringing it to the world’s attention again. I have created a 75 minute podcast wherein I discuss the main themes of the book, so that those who aren’t attracted to print media for their information, may access the book’s main messages via listening to them. I am hopeful that in its 15th year, Healing Soul Misery may again bring clarity, freedom, meaning, joy,and hope to peoples’ lives. Oh may it be so!!
