The last time I wrote to you I was living in Mugeta, Tanzania. I planned to be there for two years. Unfortunately, the anti-malarial drug I was taking daily made me seriously ill, so ill I had to return to my home in Canada. Leaving Mugeta was a great loss to me. The beauty of Tanzania and the loving kindness of her people stole my heart. 

Now that I have recovered, I am pleased to announce that Taking the Next Step Corp. is undergoing some wonderful changes. Soon, I will introduce you to some colleagues who combine their dedication to living what they teach with their enthusiasm for understanding the environment in which you live and work.

From this foundation, our goal is to create a safe, dynamic and progressive learning atmosphere designed to help you break free from striving and move into thriving. We long to show you how to embrace healing that lasts.

In the meantime, may your home be a safe place to live and grow because God is in it. Soon, we will be offering a new Applied Learning Program, but for now, we hope that the Blog provides insights, comfort and encouragement as you deal with the challenges facing you.

Please remember that we can trust God's love wherever we are in the world and in every situation. Amen.
