ANNIE'S JOURNEY
Do you ever recall a moment in your life when time stood still and in that moment, everything changed? You know things will never again be the same.

When I had just turned 16, my father became mysteriously ill, was diagnosed with cancer and within the span of 2 short months, he died. I was devastated. I lost my best friend. I felt completely alone. While my dad was ill, my father's two sisters taught my whole family how to meditate right in the hospital waiting room. I loved meditation and the profound peace I could find just by sitting quietly. That skill saw me through many tough moments in life.

Always aspiring to something bigger, I became Canada's first in-house marketing executive in a Canadian teaching hospital, a world traveler and married an eye surgeon. Despite this success there was this aching feeling in my heart and soul, a sense that I was missing something. I wanted my life to be fulfilling and exciting. I wanted to know that I made a difference in the world.

By 1987, my yearning for Self-knowledge could no longer be contained. I had a one-month holiday from the hospital, and off I went to India. One year later, I gave everything away (which I do not recommend) including the doctor husband (I have since remarried a wonderful man who is a musician and web/graphic designer), and ended up living in the Himalayan Mountains of India for seven years where I became a certified instructor in the Science of Yoga, Vedant Philosophy and the Theory and Practice of Meditation.
