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…
Mighty women in canoes
I have been away. Venturing out into the wilderness with six other adventurous women. We did a canoe trip that included 4 lakes; 4 portages; 2 campsites; approximately 7 campfires; a dozen or so scratches and bruises; loads of great conversation; a few refreshing...
Trying to let go – What a closet purge taught me about myself
Recently, a friend (who likes to shop more than I do) gave me three large bags full of great, almost new, hand-me-down clothes. It felt like Christmas, especially since many of them look better on me than a lot of the clothes I already owned. Because I'm a bit of a...
Where the ride takes me
It occured to me yesterday that my bike ride home is a pretty good metaphor for the journey we all take in our lives. I can choose the fast track that zooms along one of the busiest streets in the city, where I have to dodge cars driven by impatient commuters trying...
This body of mine
See this overweight, big-butted, 44 year old woman? She has become a RUNNER! It's true. It's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. A couple of months ago, I bought a fancy new pair of shoes (that fit my orthotic insoles), checked out this Learn to Run program...
Sharin’ the love
The internet is like a candy shop for me. There are SO many interesting people to meet and ideas to explore. When it comes to the places I visit most regularly, though, it's almost always about the people. I'm drawn to new sites/blogs if I feel drawn to the people...
Forget what you’ve heard – curiousity DIDN’T kill the cat
In my humble opinion, curiousity didn't kill the cat. Nope... I think it gave him a few of those nine lives! I think it completely rejuvenated that poor dying cat and gave him a reason to live! I don't remember who said it, but somebody at ALIA last month gave voice...
Post-vacation thoughts
After a week and a half of vacation, I'm trying to give my brain the "get back to work" pep talk today. So far, I've had only limited success. Sigh. I quite intentionally spent little time online while on vacation. It was family time, and so I did fun family things,...
Peek-a-boo!
I'm just popping in to say hello. Just enough time for a little game of peek-a-boo. 🙂 I have so much to tell you... SO MUCH! But that will have to wait for a week or two, since I am currently on vacation with my family and will not be spending much time on a...
Standing on the shoulders of fearless people
I made a big scary decision this week about something I've been thinking about for a long, long time. (More on that in the weeks to come.) Since then, I have been waffling between excitement and pure unadulterated terror. I was cycling to work yesterday when one of...
Walk with me
Sometimes, one doesn't know what one needs until that elusive thing has been found. And then, when the unrecognizable hunger has been satiated, the soul sings with delight. That's how it was yesterday when I arrived at King's Park on my way to the labyrinth. Even...
