An anniversary, not so welcome
It’s amazing what can happen in a year … the good, the bad, the ugly. I witnessed it all. And survived, quite unharmed, gratefully. But today I had some sad news that has tied me in knots and was a huge factor in my returning from Guatemala a year ago, to the day. How strange…
Days of meaning, memories of splendour
I woke up this morning, naturally falling into wakefulness. I lie still for breathless moments, contemplating today’s special meaning. And with that, my husband gently nudged my eyes open with 40 precious kisses. With these moments of simplistic grandeur, I came to the conclusion that I was proud to have lived many full lives within…
Sprouting wings
The countdown is on and I have SOOOO much to do before we fly back home on Saturday. Beyond excited! Slade googled the path that we’re hoping to travel within the 8 days … 1000 km and counting. Egads! Trying to fit in birth celebrations, family reunions, long-lost friends and a wedding is tight … someone…
crazy about Sushi
Ever since slaDE and I attended the Thai cooking class last month at the downtown food Coop, we have waited in luscious anticipation for this evening.

It’s all about the numbers … where will you be??
At Three minutes and Four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year, the time and date will be *02:03:04 05/06/07*. This will never happen again in our lifetime. Pretty powerful for me as I’m such a number combinations ‘freak’. Mikey X will approve đŸ˜‰
The David Suzuki Nature Challenge
You can actually sign up at David Suzuki’s website for the Nature Challenge (and it’s easy as typing in your email address). But even if you decide not to go the digital route to receiving his newsletter (an e-newsletter full of tips and suggestions for making sustainable choices), you too can make a difference. Each…
How do you adapt??
I’ll never forget that feeling, that sense of abrupt arrival, feeling like a stranger touching down into an alien world, or as certain secular interests might profess, a ‘civilized’ society. After returning home from both India and Guatemala (separate trips, disconnected entities), every move I made at first seemed like that from a slow-motion movie…
