Marking Time
Fifteen minutes to three o’clock. I was nervous. I flew into Vancouver early this morning. Why did I agree to meet him today? By the time I had cleared the arrival gates and taxied to my hotel, I only had time to quickly wash up and unpack my suitcase before heading out to Gastown. Ten minutes to three o’clock. I promised to meet him at the clock in Gastown. It’s one of only a few landmarks I…
Renovating My House
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. I started to renovate my house shortly after my separation. First, I emptied everything off the second floor and moved my bed into the family room downstairs. Then I ripped up all the carpet and painted all the doors, ceilings, and walls. New lighting fixtures and door handles made a huge difference. I used a quarter inch plywood to…
The Biggest Change of my Life
Change is scary and some changes are terrifying.
Change is painful. I’ve always known that, but I always thought about it in relation to my change in marital status. I’ve always gotten attached to people – even friends – and the change around my social circle predominantly. Leaving a spouse is painful. Losing a friend – either through death or circumstance – is painful. Moving is painful. Changing jobs is painful. I get all of that. I now…
How Will I Know?
How can I tell when something’s over?How can I tell it’s run its course?When I feel that something has shifted Do I pull back tooAnd follow his lead?Or do you hang on and wait?When does the broken heart happen?Should I ever let it show?Or pretend I feel the same While I cry alone in silence Vowing never to make the same mistakeTo get too close To trust and believe In someone Who isn’t worth it…
Who Was That Person?
A story about becoming… Have you ever caught your reflection and marveled at how much you’ve transformed? That old version of you seems like a distant memory, doesn’t it? That’s how it felt to me.I’ve evolved into a better version of myself. And I’m not done yet; the journey of self-improvement is ongoing. Keep in mind, no one does it alone. We all need a helping hand.The push to change often…

Autumn's Message
Every ending brings a new beginning
The summer had drawn to a close, much like the remnants of Laura’s previous life. She had spent the hot, humid days packing up her house in Georgia and moving across the country. It wasn’t quite like “Go west, young man”, more like “Go anywhere but here, young woman”, and so she’d gone north, to start again. She was starting this leg of her journey alone. Her husband, Bryan, had passed away in…

A Moment of Appreciation
Every night, when my busy day is over, I walk into my bedroom, and I’m immediately relaxed. Soft lighting and the calming scent of lavender oils remind me how important it is to have a room like this, and how important it is to appreciate it. I wish everyone had a special place – a haven – a safe place to relax in, to meditate and reflect. It’s important to carve out time and space to create it.…

Interesting situation
I noticed that what I post on this site from my computer vs what I post using the mobile app don’t always jive. Any other WordPress bloggers notice that?

The Camelot Quest
Prologue It’s hard to remember my life before I met this group of friends who have now become part of my family. We have travelled together for so long, trusting each other, watching out for each other, and keeping each other safe. We’re safe for the time being, but it wasn’t always so and it won’t always be. The world is no longer the one we remember as children, and a safe haven is almost…

Lost Postings
A friend of mine recently mentioned a poem I’d written a couple of years ago on my blog – and I couldn’t find it. It seems as if when I changed hosting site, not all of my material was transferred over. The lesson to myself is to make sure I have a local copy, so I don’t lose anything permanently. Fortunately, I did find some of my material, so I will be re-posting some of them over the next few…

Always in my Thoughts
Always in my Thoughts
Dear Mom, I spoke with a friend today who recently lost her mom. I know how hard that is. She told me that she still picks up the phone and calls her and then remembers that she’s not there. I did that for a few years after you left. I did that for a few years after Cecile left. I still think of doing that sometimes. Something will happen – good or bad – and my instinct is always to call you…

Staying Silent
Life gets busy for everyone. Between work, volunteer, and studies, there’s still the lawn to cut and housework to do. When I get a chance to actually sit and rest, my mind focuses on everything waiting to be done. Something had to change. Self care isn’t about bubble baths, face masks, and chocolate. Self care is consciously connecting mind and body. Three years ago, I did a Mindfulness Based…

Online Municipal Voting
I’m an advocate for online voting because of the inclusivity it provides for persons with physical challenges, lack of transportation, or who are immune-compromised. I think it requires faith in a certain level of honesty though and unfortunately, I don’t believe everyone is honest. How does the town maintain and validate the voting list? How does the municipality ensure the list is actually…

Being enough
I lose myself sometimes And forget where I’m going, Or where to focus my energy. I feel depleted As if I’m not Doing enough Giving enough. Or working towards my “end goal”. Today I woke up and realized My priorities have changed And suddenly… I was enough I AM enough. The rest will come When I am ready. For now I have what I need; My friends My family My purpose. For now I AM…
