10 Days in December
"I want to get married, go out west, build a log cabin, raise a bunch of kids, volunteer in my community, and then write a book about it." In 1978, during a golden age of middle-class prosperity, newly wed Kevin and Eleanor, like other young people at the time, felt the irresistible pull of the Back-to-the-Land movement and left behind everything they knew and loved to live far from the city and off the grid. As they searched western Canada for a place to settle, abandoned homesteads warned that their dream would be hard won. 10 Days in December journals Kevin and Eleanor's adventures living for the first ten days in their wilderness cabin facing the demands of winter, where harsh reality and self-denial test their love and commitment. Along the way practical Kevin and idealistic Eleanor will learn if they have what it takes to live in the mountains and with each other. Eleanor shares her true 'coming-of-age' story exploring what resources from her sheltered childhood could help her endure the isolation, cold and darkness of this northern river valley.
Comparative Corporate Governance of Non-Profit Organizations
The economic importance of the non-profit sector is growing rapidly in the USA and Europe. However, the law has not kept abreast with its development. The European Court of Justice has extended certain freedoms of the EC Treaty to non-profit organisations, and more case law is expected to follow in the near future, but the observations, theories, solutions and legal and non-legal rules in this field are manifold. The chances of harmonising the law on a European level are slim. Despite these differences, a common core of international corporate governance problems and regulatory solutions can be seen. This volume of essays brings together a variety of international experts from both corporate governance and governance of non-profit organisations to compare the two areas and explore the lessons that can be learned regarding comparative corporate governance for non-profit organisations.
10 Days in April
Newly-wed Eleanor had a plan for her life: “I want to get married, go out west, build a log cabin, raise a bunch of kids, teach them about the Lord, volunteer in my community, and then write a book about it!” As her dreams became a reality over the next 37 years, she and her husband, Kevin, lived the Back-to-the-Land lifestyle, overcame limitations, built an improved house, grew much of their own food, homeschooled their four children and volunteered in an ever-widening community. Eleanor became a freelance writer and developed seminars. Next on her to-do list: Write her memoir. Cancer arrived when she had other plans. The detour took her deep into a labyrinth of questions, research, consultations and agonizing soul-searching. From Mother Nature to Hi-Tech... From organic gardening to radiation treatment... From a log cabin in the Canadian mountains to a dormitory in a distant city... Eleanor’s Life Path certainly took a detour.

Stability, like a foundation. Changes, like a kaleidoscope. Eleanor's writing style is thoughtful, heart-felt, authentic. What she learned from a butterfly is Inspirational: “First you are 'that.' Then you wrap up, 'alone.' Then you become 'this.' There is no going back. There is no resisting the future. You will become what you are meant to be.”

10 Days in February... Limitations & 10 Days in March... Possibilities
As a child in the 1960s, my biggest and happiest influences were: • living in the mountains of Colorado • experiencing Brownies and Girl Scouts • Laura Ingalls Wilder’s ‘Little House’ books • Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan • caring for my baby sister • creative expression in dance class • going to Sunday School In 1978, as newlyweds, my husband, Kevin, and I set out for the wilds of Canada intending to live the ‘Back-to-the- Land’ homesteading lifestyle in the tiny log cabin we built before winter set in. The cold, darkness and silence were crushing. The isolation brought intense loneliness. Could I somehow overcome the Limitations and seek Possibilities? Volunteering was the key to open the doors.
