Prior to August 2009 I had spent my life
avoiding any and every form of writing. I have
had a near lifelong fear, perhaps even a
phobia. My fear of writing was so severe that I
actually turned down lucrative coaching
projects rather than write the required
proposal.
Then a strange, life altering experience happened to me in June of 2009. I had the pleasure of an emergency room visit, during which I spent a night in the cardiac care unit, only to finally discover that I am perfectly heart healthy.
I returned home with a strange urge to capture my experiences in writing and send them to my three friends (yes, I only have 3) who had expressed concern over my whereabouts during those few days. I wrote a short essay on my encounter with the Alberta health care system that included several parts of the experience that I had found to be quite humorous.
A few days later one of my friends told me that she had found my story to be amusing enough to forward to several of her friends and colleagues. Our world has indeed been made much smaller by this thing called the Internet.

Within a week I had received more than fifty
emails from around the world from people
telling me my story had given them a good
laugh and in turn sharing their own
hospital/ER experiences. Their comments
gave me the impetus to continue writing and
thus my blog Train Your Brain the Rael Way –
life sinks or soars to the beat of your thoughts
was born.
My intention in writing the blog was, and still is, to provide a light hearted, humorous depiction of life’s experiences while providing learnings from the OnCourse philosophy.
My readers have been tolerant of my writing and each week I receive upwards of 6o emails within 48 hours of posting a new blog. Most of the emails (and the few posted comments on the blog itself) are both
supportive and encouraging and sprinkled among them have been a few suggestions that I perform anatomically impossible feats on myself.
