  • 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…

    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…

    March 8, 2011, International Women’s Day is also the birthday of  mentor and friend, Lynn Redgrave who, sadly, left this world last year. I would like to take this opportunity to look to the skies, and wish you, dear soul,  Happy Birthday, and thank you for being an outstanding female comet passing through my life.…

    It’s that time of year again…. The sentimental, nostalgic, busy, stressful, warm, sad, exciting, loving, indulgent, restful, abundant, lacking and so on, time of year. Depending on your circumstance, Christmas can be a very wonderful time. Or it can be the absolute opposite. If it is… hang in there, for this too, shall pass. For…

    “Pride Fun…” I found myself feeling proud as I stood on the side of Beach Street in the West End of Vancouver the afternoon of August 1st. The sun was gently mixing with soft clouds making the temperature comfortable, and the view of the ocean and mountains completed the smug feeling I was experiencing. “We…

    Dear Lynn, Monday morning, May 3rd, I received a text message from a friend that said, “I thought of you this morning when I heard on the news about Lynn Redgrave.” News? What news? My heart instantly sank and I jumped on the Internet to confirm my worst fear. “Lynn Redgrave died peacefully in her…

    Wheelchairs, crutches, no arms, limping bodies, eyes not seeing, distortions, hidden prosthetics, and steady smiling faces that showed light, determination, and an aching to live to the utmost. That’s what I saw when the Paralympic Athletes, yes with a capital A, paraded before the Vancouver audience at the Opening Ceremonies. I wasn’t there, but instead…

    The Olympics are over, and there is a quieter feeling in Vancouver. The red hockey shirts, hats, mitts, scarves, weird hats, costumes, shoes, maple leaves, and flags have retired to closets. The spontaneous “woohoos!” have abated. And, I admit, I miss those crazy connections with strangers, and the upbeat energy. Something emotional and spirited took…
