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 …

Fairy Dust and Princesses

This post is an extended version as I am covering two weeks since I had family here over the weekend and that took priority over writing. Sunday before last, my daughter Caitlin came over with my granddaughter for a visit. They went for swim lessons that morning and then Caitlin stopped and got food for …

The Sliver of Light

I have written before about letting the 'light' in and referred to the Leonard Cohen song. I definitely feel lighter since my sessions. One of the things that has been on my mind since I went for Fascia release and TRE, Yolande said to me that our bodies have the ability to heal themselves, that …

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, …

All Glitter and Cardboard

I'm always more pleased to receive gifts that show someone thought about the things that interest me, rather than gifts that they picked up at the chemist on the 'Mother's Day' / 'Valentines Day' marketing section on the shelves. Norman always knows the things that make me happy no matter how simple. My kids are …

Three Under Three

The difference in my life between last weekend and this weekend is like night is to day. Last weekend I was surrounded by noisy, energetic, sticky small humans and this weekend I woke up with a Pomeranian on my head. Last Sunday I woke to the usual sounds of the kids shrieking with either laughter …

As within, so without

Last weekend Norm did a lot of prep for a trip to Switzerland. He was up on Sunday and ready to go to the airport when he received an email from his hotel and noticed they referred to different dates. Luckily this triggered him to check his tickets and see that he flew on Monday, …

Whispers To The Wind

The days just sort of morph into each other when you have newborn babies in the household. Much like the newest member in the family, your days seem to be consume, expel, wash, and sleep in a cycle. You just try to keep the dishes maintained and a clear path through the chaos so that …

It Takes A Village

Every year we end up having to buy an extra suitcase for all of the Christmas gifts I have ordered for everyone, but this year we had our limit of luggage and weight. We thought we had plenty of space until the last week when we (and by 'we' I mean Norman) finished up packing …

The Balance

This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …
