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…
Still home
Cancelled flight. After three hours of sitting in the airport waiting. Groan. Won't get to meet Vicki. Boohoo. Have to get up at 4:00 a.m. to catch the next flight. Yawn. No stopover in Oklahoma. Bummer. Expecting a long day tomorrow. Good night.
Psst. Wanna know a secret?
There's something I haven't mentioned about my trip down south. Wanna know what it is? Okay, I'll let you in on a little secret.... Tomorrow, I get to meet Vicki! Yippee! Vicki's one of those people I just KNOW I'm going to love in person as much as I do online. I...
No more boxes!
Something wasn't sitting right. I wasn't looking forward to this business trip as much as I usually do. Part of it was the fact that I'll be attending a fundraising conference, and fundraising is my least favourite part of my job, so I'm not expecting to be overly...
Fidelis
I'm feeling mightily uninspired lately, so I'm going to cheat a little and post a story I wrote for our newsletter at work. In the past year, I have had the pleasure of meeting several incredible African woman whose wisdom, boldness, and passion have inspired me....
Going to Dallas
Early next week, I'll be spending a few days at a conference in Dallas. I don't have alot of time to do the tourist thing, but I should be able to at least escape for a few evenings of wandering around the heart of the city. I've never been there before, so I thought...
Growing up
My little butterfly turned five this weekend. Happy Birthday, Maddie Monkey. You're growing so quickly, it almost takes my breath away. Some day soon, you'll stop having baths with me, and you'll no longer beg for lie-with-me-night. Some day soon, you won't reach your...
I’m sick of winter, BUT…
If you've never lived with winter, you've never had the privilege of seeing hoarfrost like we had this morning, and that would be a shame.
Five things ccap doesn’t know about me
In the comments of the last post, my sister challenged me to come up with five things she doesn’t know about me, which is rather hard since she’s known me all of her life (I’m older, so I had three and a half years of living without her, but I don’t remember those...
Five things about me (or “just another post where Heather goes on and on about herself”)
I got tagged by Kristin to come up with five things you might not know about me. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you probably know way more than you want to know about me, since I’m a bit of an open book and I have a tendency toward verbal diarrhea. But...
This is how parents spell “freedom”
Tonight Marcel and I went for a walk - JUST BECAUSE WE CAN! After eleven years of parenting, we have reached a new milestone. We can leave our children at home for short periods of time without a babysitter. Wow!There were so many days in those eleven years when we...
