A Fresh Approach

February 23, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

It started with a tree. Something about the texture of the bark appealed to me, so I took a picture. Then I examined the image on my computer, and pondered what the image was saying to me. Did it need altering? Was it worth keeping? Every time I looked at it, I was drawn to […]

A New Chapter

February 16, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

I dreamt it a year ago, and with the help of my husband and the support of my much more tech savvy kids, this new chapter of our life has come to fruition. I remember an animated breakfast conversation after that initial dream, last March. (A dear friend of mine and I were selling gifts […]

Shake Ups

January 5, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

The new year grabbed me in a choke hold and hog-tied me before I had a chance to even think about what it might bring. It started with a text that my mother was in hospital, followed by a harried searching of flights and anxious speculating about how I’ll get home. Me, who hasn’t ventured […]

I Need a Bridge

The gap widens – the life I’d envisioned washed away by current reality – widening span. I need a bridge – expansive enough to carry wishes, to facilitate movement of passing ideals, allow for traffic flow. Or a bridge to slow me down, help me re-align, directing me toward a new road, encompassing change. (Image […]

As Water Flows

Water flows, and my mind wanders, relinquishing thoughts and worries. Water flows, and I surrender to the blessing of life’s journey. Water flows, and I acknowledge the fluidity of emotions, change. Water flows, and I experience the continuum of life’s cycles. (It is Springtime here in SW Ontario, and this is the first morning since […]
