People have important things to communicate. Speaking from your heart allows the emotionally difficult, the ordinary, and the wonderful things in our lives to be communicated and received.

With a quick coffee break and driver switch-a-roo, we arrived in Illinois, first stopping at Skydive Chicago before segueing to my second-Mom Barb’s home in DeKalb. It was really cool to see Brian Germaine at SDC, especially having seen him in Eloy just a few weeks prior. (photo possibly to be used for a Cypres…
Our visit with my Mom a few weekends back has been a shining highlight of my stay here in Calgary. It was such a playful and joy-filled 3 days together. But as all good things, it came to an end far too quickly! * * * * Mom and slaDE~, 2 of my favourite people…
Tonight was our night to skate at the Olympic Oval. We made an attempt first to pick up a freecycle ADSL modem that had been up for grabs, in the northern reaches of the city (ie FAR away), but the freecycle Lady forgot to put the components inside the box …. our first disappointment. Next…
Men can be such jerks, especially when they decide to flaunt their power. Take a look at what’s going on today in the Government ‘s typical standing on Iraq and Afghanistan … and, yes, stretching to war / conflict in general. Bush … what is your purpose for sending 21,500 more troops to Iraq??! No…
FEAR The purpose of fear is to protect us from life threatening circumstances. For example: to run away when there’s a bear chasing us, or to be careful when handling live electric wires. Fear can cause us to make an irrational response to challenges we face. Fear imposes limits on our minds, removing our clarity…

A very important day for an awesome gal!
Mornin’, sKY.
Just wanted to pop by and say “hi” and “Happy Birthday!!!” ….. I believe I have the date correct, n’est ce pas??
Hope all is well with you and your man …. from reading your journal, it sounds like you’re doing well in Calgary …. great place! Among the foothills, enjoying the benefits of both chinook and winter fun, you’ll have lots to keep you and sLade busy, heh??
Take care …..
Kit

The origins of Vooff
Hi sKY.
Great to hear all is going well.
Saw the photos of your birthday on your journal —- as usual, you surround yourself with good people…. I’m really happy for you.
No Vooff posts so far …. I’ve been keeping busy this summer and not too much of it has been on the computer, so I don’t have a lot of extra time to sit down and post!
And ….. Vooff is the name of my little Dutch dog (not a REAL dog, but a very lovely stuffed Beagle-type plush dog). Since he’s Dutch, his bark is accented, of course, hence his name!
And….. when I set up my LiveJournal account, that’s the name I decided on, ’cause it’s so much fun.
Anyway, not much time to sit and write at the moment …. take care of yourself …. hope all your wishes and dreams continue to present themselves and you live out the life you’re designing for yourself and sLade.
Until next time,
K.
