Day Six: Coffee, Contemplation, and a picnic…
I kept yesterday’s promise: an earlier start and a real Americano from Atlantis Coffee in Regina. Set my first complete solo day off perfectly. Then, one great silly moment with two Manitobians (again). And, one major refusal by three Saskatchewan morning smokers. I comforted myself by being extra nice to them and said at least…

Day Four into Five: Bug splats…
Last silliness in Banff, rockies drama: a bear eating something big, Sunday traffic, bug splats, straight roads, watching the ditches at dusk for glowing eyes and leaping ungulates, super moon, super glowing orange ball in my rear-view mirror, Peter Gabriel singing in my car: “Drawn across the plain lands to the place that is higher….”

Day Two into Three into Four…. whew
It’s a series of hellos and goodbyes and the leaving is always harder than the arrival. Kaleden was heavenly. Then the drive up the Okanagan Valley was slow and beautiful. (slow because of traffic and also because of silly people seeking) I’m super grateful for my new air conditioning experience as…

Day One to Two: Vancouver to Kaleden….
Took me awhile to get out of Vancouver as loading a car for an indefinite time on the road is tricky. But… I got there. Managed to freeze a few blueberries for future smoothies before I left, too! First stop and last stop before hitting the road: the Pacific Ocean and my first encounter making…

Day One: Officially on the road!
Well… this is it! The journey is beginning today. Who knows what is around the corner. Each minute is unto its own. I will start at the ocean (pics later) and head off to my first easy stop in Kaleden near Penticton. A little wine before going to far? Packing for this trip is rather…

Breathing into 2014….
January second, two thousand and fourteen…. FOURTEEN! Last year I showed up to my blog on our first day of 2013 and timely wrote “Ponderings“. This year I’m struggling to ponder, reflect, and offer up wise thoughts on already the second day of the New Year. My mind wanders to the novel I’m reading and…

Holiday Thoughts….
So long since I’ve written here. So long since I’ve written. Too busy being in the moment with real life and not having the luxury of tapping away my thoughts. Now it’s Christmas. In my world. Is it a holiday in yours? How is yours unfolding? I used to have picture perfect Christmases as a…

Homelessness and sales…
Every Thursday morning at 7:00 I start my day with a rollicking, yet professional meeting with the Think Referrals Business Network. We have our breakfast, present our 60 second updates, maybe watch a presentation and/or discuss some of our business challenges. And, we have fun. Some of the challenges that emerged today related to sales.…

New Year Ponderings…. 2012 to 2013
Cup of tea in hand, birds chirping on the balcony (five dollars of bird seed is good entertainment value), I stare at my computer on this last day of 2012 and wonder what brilliance I can bring to my final post of the year. I’m not sure. I could review my year, as so many…
