She wasn’t a teenager. She had teens of her own. Two daughters who went to a private Catholic school. They were a well-respected family in their community. We worked together at a government-run provincial liquor store in Canada. She was the manager’s favourite employee and always pra...

Just a generation or so ago, a book entitled The Population Bomb, by Paul Ehrlich, sold millions of copies, continuing a long tradition of Malthusian doomsday forecasts. Ehrlich predicted that the world would soon be overpopulated, resulting in mass starvation and death. But the dire prediction...

If you’re like me, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Am I enough?” I’m here to tell you that if you possess values, morals, ethics, and purpose, you are not only enough, but you are more than enough. There’s a metaphor in Arabic that, when roughly translated, me...
