The Office" Chronicles: A Lesson in Balance Every morning at 8:00 am sharp, Kimmy and I head to "the office"—which is just a fancy name for our favorite corner table, number 14, at McDonald’s in the north end of Saint John. Once armed with our coffee or tea, we settle in and get to the real work: solving the world's problems.

There is more than one real balancing act in life. The coffee cup that is balancing in the picture is a phenomena which is hard to believe but it actually happened to my partner and I. Believing the truth in concrete ways is sometimes hard to process. One of my favorite mentors while taking my masters was a respected Cree Indigenous Elder named Duncan Grady.
Please look him up as his resume of accomplishments are noted and respected. Duncan said "In the context of hearing someone's side of their story listen but keep in mind everyone is entitled to their side of the story, but the facts you don't argue". As you read my partners article please process. This cup is a fact, and it happened but its hard to believe how.
