For once, I am happy to be stuck in traffic. My eyes were bombarded with a feast of colours as I inched my way along the Don Valley Parkway: a balance of vivid reds of the maples, with the darker red of the sumac, and the yellows of the birch.
Among the many people that come into my life that inspires me are Corinne and Sister Rosemary. Corinne is a physician scheduler. In 2008, I called her up to ask if she would let me off the hook for a shift that was standing between me and my mission to Haiti. She replied that her friend, Sister Rosemary, would not like it if she didn’t let me go. Sister Rosemary is a wonderful nun who has dedicated over 30 years helping children in Haiti. When I returned from Haiti in 2008, I had the opportunity to meet both Corinne and Sister Rosemary. How inspiring! It gives me impetus to continue giving more of myself to those less fortunate than I.
