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…
Just one glimpse
Do you ever stop and stare at the art on your window pane?The endless variety?The symmetry? The precision?The delicate brush strokes mixed with bold connecting lines?The way the sunlight changes each piece at different times of the day?The bold and unorthodox lines?...
Pregnant with words
Okay, here's the thing - I really need to write a book. Well, more to the point - I need to write ANOTHER book. I've been down this road before. I've carried this dream with me for almost as long as I've been able to string together words. After my first...
Beginning 2010 with a word to inspire me
It was on my last flight that my word for the year came to me. I'd just spent a week in a rental car, exploring various parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in between meetings with staff, volunteers, and supporters and now I was on my way home....
A year with a little less fear
A year ago, I was feeling the need to let go of some of the fear in my life. I claimed "fearless" as my word for 2009, and to kick it off, I made a little video about it...[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_vLDSJnNh8&hl=en_US&fs=1&]It's been an...
Cousin time
Every year there is the pajama picture...Followed by some variation on the theme... like maybe the Christmas tree? (minus the youngest member who'd run out of patience by this point)And since they've been old enough, there's almost always been the pyramid...Which...

Chipping away at it
At first, I hesitated to share this picture from my travels last week, even though it's one of my favourite moments of the trip. Why did I hesitate? Because you can see just how much weight I've gained in the past six months, and... well... ugh. I hate that I've...
There are so many reasons why I don’t call myself a “mommy blogger”
About ten years ago, when I was the exhausted and overwhelmed (oh - I could add a LONG list of descriptors to that) mother of two very different toddlers (who knew kids would come with different personalities?), I remember asking a mother in my acquaintance, who...
A few unrelated things
1. If you're interested in the continued adventures of Flat Madeline, check out Maddie's blog. I think the 3D Madeline is getting jealous of all of her grand adventures. I know I am.2. I was interviewed by Connie over at Dirty Footprints Studio. I really...
Five years of Fumbling! It’s my blog-iversary!
Exactly five years and 1000 posts ago, I dipped my toes in this big unknown world known as blogland. I didn't know what I was getting into, but I loved to write and I was curious about what it would be like to put my ramblings out into a public space. I started...
