Blue Waves & Red Flags

I have predominately avoided politics in my writing lately because it generates anxiety in me to discuss everything over and over. Norm and I used to always watch the news before bed to catch up on the world's happenings but eventually it was upsetting me so much it affected my ability to get to sleep. …

In The Bones

This week has been full on. Work is incredibly busy. At home, we just put in some new front lawn, we started renovating the kitchen, it is Halloween weekend and my family arrived from George. It was very bad planning with the family being here, but Norm is away soon and we have our friend …

The Spin Doctor

They say that a Squirrel is just a rat with better PR as they are both rodents. These days I guess you would say Media Relations instead of Public Relations but MR does not roll off the tongue so easily. Rats have always freaked me out, they make me think of germs and pestilence, whatever …

Time Warped

Last Saturday I had 2 of my girlfriends around for a visit. The weather had been fine all week, but then on Sunday we woke to rain and overcast skies. I decided it was too chilly for normal humans to sit outside (I do not feel the cold). I usually make an effort if entertaining …

Am I That One?

This week I heard someone talking about not wanting to be 'that kindergartener who thinks that their artwork is amazing while everyone else looks at it sadly'. OK maybe that sadness is only when it is a pensioner instead of a kindergartener - else it is just sparkling disappointment, or something like that. Your honour, …

Blowing Hot & Cold

A Conversation With My Psoas

You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …

Moving With Intention

Last Saturday was very relaxed. I did interact with a newly identified bird, the Olive Thrush. It came down to the roof of the shed first and watched me for a few minutes. Then he dropped down onto the turf and started pecking at a piece of apple that I had given Poppy. Before she …

Opposite Action

I continue to be observant of Mother Nature reaching out and contacting me. In my prayers on Monday when I said "Thank you for the birds" a bird sitting on the gate gave a loud squawk. When I put my hands out, palms upwards, and turned towards the West and gave thanks for the rain, …

Timelines of Your Reality

The weather has led to a lot of people being sick at the moment so I tried to get a flu shot but there are none available. Chichi came to work on Monday and as soon as she spoke I could hear the congestion. Norm popped on a face mask and drove her home. It …
