- I come from a family that includes several diplomats and ambassadors. Among them is Belgian diplomat Henri-Marie Lafontaine, president of the International Peace Bureau and 1913 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. For this reason, my formative years were quite different from most. I grew up with a world view, rather than a national view. This has affected my perspective on the world as it has been, and the world as it is now. I refer to myself as an "inactive activist". What that means is you won't find me on a street corner picketing. Instead, I write. This is what I've done all my life. While I will never claim that my writing has evoked change all by itself, I do know that I've been one of many catalysts for change in domestic and foreign policies over the years. The battle for peace, understanding, and a shared world view will continue for generations to come. Each of us can contribute to positive change. It depends on what we choose to do. Many, who could be doing something, will simply sit on the sidelines. Others will pick up the gauntlet. In my own way, I've picked up the gauntlet.

I've been slapped in the face with a cold, wet reality towel.
On March 25th, 2008, I came to the sudden realisation that I am coming up on the age of 55 staring down the barrel of the "you're-going-to-die-if-you-don't-do-something" gun. I'm not going to cower in the corner and say, "Oh just let me die!" Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I've learned a great many things about genetically predisposed conditions, how they can affect you directly, and how treatments and further issues can affect you indirectly.
This blog will centre on those issues and how they have affected different aspects of my life. Maybe - just maybe - someone else might find this useful.
Enjoy.Archives
