Back to business
I’m not sure if I believe the moon can dictate moods or if I would just like to blame my moodiness on it – use it as a scapegoat. Does everyone ride an emotional roller coaster? Is confidence a commodity? I know we can build it but just as certainly I know we can knock […]
A short snippet
Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday. I don’t get to see this particular sister very often but I do think about her on the regular. She is my youngest sibling, we are separated by several miles and five years. I feel close to her in a sisterly fashion – we hail from the same place. I […]
Another snippet
Writing is posing a challenge this week – I have no idea where inspiration goes or why it takes confidence with it but I’m lacking both at present. Here is a snippet of the Storyworth project written a few weeks ago. a little backstory — soon after we moved to Calgary my aunt and her […]
Memories – Memoir
My Apple Watch just informed me that my stand and exercise rings are usually further along by this time of day – it suggested I get off my duff and MOVE. Well Apple Watch I’ve got news, you are not the boss of me – but you’re right, I’ve been sitting for quite awhile. This stillness […]

The smallish coastal community I’ve lived in for more than half a century has grown up over the years – aside from the view of the bay from the crest of the city’s center hardly anything of the original town remains. I’m probably one of a few who can recall the olden days with any […]
Creative Captivity
I unintentionally self isolated before it was fashionable – I was way ahead of the curve. I came down with a nasty cold a few weeks ago and took to my bed – by the time I stepped back into the world all hell had broken loose. I immediately checked my toilet paper situation (which was fine) […]
The neglected muse
Writing has taken a back seat in my life recently – I’ve been giving creativity a wide berth and busying myself with less personal things. I’ve bumped into my muse from time to time over the past few weeks, I’ve had a few close calls where the urge to write almost tripped me, but so […]
“What was I saying?”
I’m having a devil of a time finishing a blog post right now. I have several false starts on my iPad – essays which at their onset had potential but petered out before I could wrap them up. I’m full of good ideas but lately I’m having trouble finishing a thought. This isn’t just a problem I’m […]
