You don’t have to win – you just have to play…unless it’s a US/Canada hockey game, then you have to win!

This was the first story I’d written and I sent it to The New York Times. The gall, right? People would ask me why I would start at the top with The Times. My reply? They need stories too, and I have one. I always reach for the top and hope to catch a branch on the way down. It beats starting at the bottom..too much competition there…

WELCOME LETTER

Hi everyone! Welcome to my new site. It features new and old stories, some pre published, and other material not seen til now. I’ve included AMAZING BRACE, an older story from 2008, MACLEANS magazine because over the years I’ve had a tremendous amount of response from readers around the world on this article. At the time I wrote the story doctors in Canada, other than Quebec, and in most of the US were not prescribing braces for scoliosis because they believed bracing wouldn’t work. My article supported bracing. Now braces are used widely throughout North America. So, particularly if your child is diagnosed with scoliosis, please see that bracing is considered as an option, while the child is still growing. Contact me here if you would like to discuss.. Braces can also help many adults with scoliosis pain. Give it a try!

I’ve been a journalist for many years. and it is wonderful to have this forum to connect with you. I’m still learning how to use this site, so please be forgiving. I look forward to connecting with you and sharing thoughts!
