When I was younger I never thought about time. It seemed endless and forgiving. But as I grew older I realized time is finite. And I wondered, how does one go from being a ingénue to a blossomed 40 something? The years seem somewhat dream like. It’s as if one blink brought me forward 3 decades. … Continue reading »

A bit of giving …
I met a homeless man and his puppy yesterday. The pup was precious. Big paws and brown eyes. I had stopped to find my cell phone (which had fallen underneath the passenger seat) and the sweet beast greeted me when I opened my door. It was a chilly morning and I noticed that the man … Continue reading »
Through the looking glass …
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror. Really looked? I did this evening and an odd thing occurred: I didn’t really recognize the individual peering back. There before me was a woman. Pretty with soft unlined skin and blue inquisitive eyes. But there was something else, a feeling of familiarity mingled with the … Continue reading »
My father …
I miss my father. I’ve been thinking of him lately. It’s odd really. I have wondered recently what it would be like to talk to him about relationships and guys. Strangely, we never did when I was growing up. And now that he’s gone, it’s something I find I would really like to discuss. Well … Continue reading »
Knowing …
Do you ever wonder if our souls know? Do they know the ways of the universe? Is the mystery of life locked away in a secret compartment known only to our subconscious selves? Are our lives predestined or does free will overpower and allow us to change the course that has been set? When we sleep do we let … Continue reading »
Christmas Eve …
I’ve always been nostalgic about Christmas. There’s something about it that brings me to a stage of soulfulness that other holidays can not. When I was a little girl Christmas Eve was magical. The warmth of a fire, Christmas music emanating from the console, a new pair of pajamas (that usually matched my sisters) and Santa Clause. … Continue reading »
Gratitude Day Three …
Lulu is my saving grace. She is a small, sweet and brindled beast and I love her (Sorry if this sounds a bit like a line from a Beatles tune). We are not only co-dependent but symbiotic as well! Sometimes I wish I it was possible to bottle the way it feels when she curls up behind … Continue reading »
Gratitude Day Two …
My mother. I can not begin to express how wonderful she truly is. She is beauty, strength and joy all rolled into one delightful blonde being. It’s funny how the way we see our parents changes over the years. When we’re small, they are just that ‘our parents’. We do not equate any … Continue reading »
Silent Night …
It’s quiet tonight. It seems as if the past weeks have been filled with noise. Not just audible but soulful as well. But at this moment the only sound I hear is the soft hum of the heater working to warm my chilled skin. The aroma of pine needles and sugar cookie candle wax lingers in the … Continue reading »
Our Bodies – Our Souls – Our Selves
Have you ever wondered why our bodies affect how we think of ourselves? Or, have you ever wondered who has set the standards for what is right regarding our physical shapes? I was viewing one of my favourite artists (Rubens) this evening and realized that I identify with his (Rubenesque) voluptuous and lovely, creamy skinned women. It … Continue reading »
