    Happy Halloween Everyone! As a little girl, I LOVED Halloween! It was my favourite time of year. I guess that’s why I ended up in the performance arts. Dressing up, being something else, make believe, PLAYING…. all such fun things to do as a kid. As an adult, we tend to let go of our…

    I think we decided on twitter that it would be Saturday… but that was just yesterday. So. Here I am with a wee poem from last summer. Air Little sparrow Gasping for air Canary saying Don’t go in there Yellow dash Yellow pile Sparrow tips toes Backward Wings not yet Clipped.

    This summer I was helping my parents make a significant change in their life. It was a very challenging time. To cope, I showed up at my journal nightly, wrote an entry and a poem. Not all were works of art, but as I briefly speak about on my website, I showed up. And, it…

    The summer has passed without a wee blog post or two from me. I have a good excuse. It was one of those periods in life where you suffer, you grow, you pull your hair out, you cry, you pretend you’re a stand-up comic to get through moments, you rise to the challenges, you defend,…

  • Permission for sombre in the social media world?

    I had a thought. A question. Something I was wondering about. And, wondering if you ponder it as well. Do you feel that with all the opportunities to express, share, and be present with social media platforms, blogs etc, that you have to or should be positive all the time? Do you sense there is…

    When I was a kid, I remember lining up my teddy bears (a very motley crew that I loved very much) on the couch, putting on a “record”, and getting my conducting stick out. The songs were simple Christmas tunes with choral singing. Away I went! I never got quite as passionate as in the…

    My Dad once said, “Don’t take no for an answer.” My Mom was equally bold in her advice. It was good. When I decided to audition for “Le Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique”, one of my French teachers rolled her eyes, and exclaimed (en Francais) that she knew French people who had tried to get in and…

    Today is Earth Day. It strikes me strange to have an Earth Day because every day should be organically, naturally Earth Day. However, that’s what we need to do now. Name days so we don’t forget. When I was a kid, being near nature and the earth was the essence of my being. I was…

    “Get a mold done of my face, tomorrow? Really? We need to do that?”, I gulped. I had had this done once before and didn’t particularly enjoy it. Feeling panicky, I had to really, really concentrate so claustrophobia wouldn’t take over. Currently, I’m starting to work on a project that entails mask work; therefore, we…

    Yes… I’m being brave because I’m, for the first time, (I think), putting up a blog post that is simply some creative writing. I found this piece I had written a couple of years ago. In fact, long before boldly diving into blogging. It shows my fear surrounding my writing, and also shows me that…
