DiaYogi Dialogue with Sarah Macleod episode 1

A week in the wild
I’ve just returned from the Kruger National Park in South Africa, a vast tract of land teaming with wildlife. What a privilege to spend seven days watching the natural lifestyles of wild animals. And guess what…it’s all about the food.Animals are either ground grazers, tall leaf eaters or wild hunters (like leopards and lions) I’m talking rhinos battling it out in a nearly dry river … Read More A week in the wild

Be the Sweetness You Are
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about loving kindness. We are told by countless self-help gurus that in order to move forward on ‘the path’ we have to love ourselves. I can remember way back in the 90’s having a counselling session where I was told that unless I learned to love myself I’d never find a way to move forward in my life. … Read More Be the Sweetness You Are

Is that the bad kind?
The first time I encountered diabetes was when one of my teenage classmates had it. I can remember asking her what the diabetic alert bracelet she wore was for and why she couldn’t eat sugar.

What it means to come home
I haven’t been home in a while. My life on the road is a series of suitcase bumps up and down escalators and relentless packing and unpacking. Six years ago things were different. I had a home, a son in high school, a marriage, a stable income and my pancreas was still producing insulin. I can remember swimming laps in my pool and thinking, … Read More What it means to come home

The day the world stood still
While the rest of the world still thinks it’s April 6th and is sending me birthday greetings from far and wide the dawn is breaking on a very different kind of celebration for me. The 39th anniversary of my Mothers passing. It’s always been a conundrum celebrating the excitement of my birthday with the bittersweet of my mothers death. I can remember so vividly my … Read More The day the world stood still
