IMPORTANT UPDATE
As of April 2024, my blog has moved over to Substack where I’m co-hosting A Tender Space (together with my business partner at Centre for Holding Space). You can find my new writing plus podcast episodes there, or sign up below to get them in your inbox.
Here’s some of my earlier writing…
It all depends how you look at it
When I look into Maddie's room, I see alot of boxes. She looks in and doesn't see a single one. Instead, she sees an airplane, a house for Joe Banana, a swimming pool, and a guest house for all of Joe's friends. It's a magical room for a magical little girl, where...
Basking in the glow
Oh how I love a good singer-songwriter – someone who paints magic with words and a guitar. Check out some of these lines and see if you don’t agree with me that Martyn Joseph is one of those…Exhibit #1“It’s the weight of the worldthat gouges the land,shrivels the...
Thirteen
1. I’m going to a Martyn Joseph concert tonight! Yay! I love concerts and I LOVE Martyn Joseph!2. On his online journal, Martyn referred to Winnipeg as “one of his favourite places on the planet”! No, he’s not from here. He’s from Wales. (So there - people from...
Because change is as good as a rest
That old blog template was getting tired. Plus I needed a little colour to help fend off the doldrums in the middle of this cold snap we're having.There are good reasons why the new header doesn't include any recent pictures...It's because you can't see my face these...
Heroes and Sherpas
Have you ever heard of Tenzing Norgay? No? What about Sir Edmund Hillary? Of course – the great mountain-climber who was the first to reach the top of Mount Everest. We’ve ALL heard of him.But his greatest accomplishment wasn’t done alone. He may not even have been...
We’re not perfect
The premise for this show is irking me just a little. (Okay, maybe a lot.) “The Week the Women Went Away.” I haven’t watched the show, so I can’t make any fair judgement on the content, but I am certainly entitled to my opinion about the premise.When are we going to...
Just don’t put me on a game show
Julie just whupped me in back-to-back games of speed Scrabble. Now she's dancing around the house letting everyone know that apparently Mom is NOT smarter than a fifth grader.Sigh.Next time I'm playing against Maddie. The longest word she knows how to spell is "dog".
The song that goes along with the post below…
Compliments of my very talented brother.... I dare you not to cry.By the way, if you like it, let me know in the comments. I'll pick one name and send out one of his cds to the lucky winner.(Ummm... turns out I don't really know how to imbed a song, even though I...
Crying on the bus
And then one day, you're on a crowded bus, hugging your duffle bag to your chest because all the seats are full, and the song your brother wrote for two special babies comes onto your mp3 player, and all you can do is let the tears flow even though you have no kleenex...
Breakfast
I'm sitting here munching on my yummy bran muffin and sipping my morning tea. Because these are quite possibly the best bran muffins in the world, I thought I'd share my recipe. It's one of those recipes that is so well used, the stains on the cookbook page are...
