He does this by asking questions about, and sharing ideas for, thriving in a changing world. Born in London, England, he spent most of his life in Rhodesia and South Africa. His corporate career included marketing management in large and small companies, starting and running his own businesses. He travelled extensively in Southern and Central Africa, before returning to his roots as a farmer in Zimbabwe.

He lost the farm and all his assets. In 2004, Peter and his partner Sue moved to Canada with 2 suitcases and a horse saddle each, 6 cats and enough cash to buy a used pickup. Peter ran ultra marathons, played Polo and Polo-Crosse. In 2010 he survived a heart attack which stopped most of his farming activities. In 2017 he had bypass surgery which enabled him to increase his physical activity and walk 250 km on the Portuguese route of the Camino de Santiago He is also a past president of Woodstock Toastmasters You can learn more about Peter via his website peterwrightsblog.com and connect with him on Twitter and Youtube

  • #248 Control that perspective with Ashley Lyn Olson

    At 14, Ashley was paralyzed in a horrible car wreck that took the life of her father, physically disabled her mother, and injured her younger sister.

    That one moment transformed her entire world, but it did not dampen her spirit.

    In 2010, Ashley had to have life-or-death surgery for a pressure sore, due to being paralyzed from the car accident , followed by a long recovery of endless bed rest.

    Eight of those weeks were spent in a nursing home where she was forced to lay on her back 24/7—to eat, take pills and go to the bathroom.

    She wasn't allowed to sit up.

    She was confined to a special, medical bed.

    Through mindfulness, meditation and appreciation of the present moment, she was able to control her perception and find eternal peace in a stereotypical unpleasant environment.

    She is writer, educational speaker and she loves to travel. In 2006, she launched wheelchairtraveling. com as a resource for others with disabilities.

    Today about 25,000 people each month visit wheelchairtraveling.com for accessible travel information.

    She has tons of travel adventure stories to discuss, including solo trips to Japan and New Zealand and zip lining in Ecuador.

    All while paralyzed!!!

    Was recently featured on the "POSITIVE EXPOSURES Connects" virtual interview series, the Christopher and Dave Reeve Foundation website, Sandi Klein's "Conversations With Creative Women". and The Write Reflection 2021 winter newsletter.

    She just finished her first book, "Confined to Align "
