Hockey night in Canada – the cup has left the building
So, Lord Stanley’s cup is heading back to Pittsburgh; the Penguins scooped it again. I’m a little sad for Nashville – they tried so hard; the players and fans showed up for the series in a fashion that did the sport proud. I have to point out that at my heart I am a Canucks […]
Another soggy day in paradise
It’s June and it’s raining- we have yet to string enough good weather days together this year to make it feel like we’ve actually had a spring and here it is coming to a close. I was awakened at 5am today – the sound of a honking goose party roused me from sleep like an […]
Hooray for June – the cheering month
We have stepped into the month of celebration – June is the culmination of many activities. Graduation ceremonies are taking place in preschools and universities – they are handing out awards and diplomas with abandon. Sports teams are making playoffs and year end shows are selling tickets. Kids everywhere are marching forward, taking giant steps […]
War of the Wills
I am the co-parent of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Being the 'mom' half of the parenting coalition makes me the boss of this particular beast. This isn't an easy job. Chester (lovingly named for the breed he represents), is one hundred pounds of four year old Chesapeake attitude. I have contemplated writing about his antics [...]
The compulsion to blog
This blogging business is a curious thing – I have no idea why I am compelled to put words and thoughts out into cyberspace. I have no idea how many people actually read the words and no clue why I think they should. I second guess myself all the time. I worry that I embarrass […]
Motivation and Memories
I thought I should take a few minutes and write about the International Women’s Summit I attended earlier this month given the experience is proving to be a game changer for me. I have been procrastinating about getting back into my writing routine for over ten years — that’s a lot of procrastinating! I used […]
On a different note….
I cleaned the stove top yesterday morning so naturally the rice boiled over last night. It’s always the way. Last week it was the floor at the front door – all spic and span, washed and polished — the dog got excited to see his dad arrive home from work and peed all over the […]
Warrioring 101
There is a lot going on in my head these days – this may be because there is a lot going on in the world. We are bombarded daily with news from around the globe, most of it not good – it can get to a girl. Sometimes I would like to put my […]
Showing up
Judging from my recent Facebook activity one might assume that I have turned into a crazy activist woman – a raging Granny – but this assumption would not be altogether accurate. I’ve always been a little left of centre – a little crazy, but not certifiably so. And I’ve always been sort of an activist, […]
The Morning After
I launched a blog yesterday and lived to tell the tale! The earth didn’t open and swallow me, nor did the angels sing BUT it’s out there. The first step has been taken. I have some people to thank… I have 61 friends on my Facebook page (one is my sister’s dog) – that isn’t […]
