The Journey Is the Reward

After such a beautiful day last Saturday, on Sunday the weather turned again and we woke to rain that morning. Norm and I had planned on having a wander around the garden centre as I had a voucher to spend, but I did not fancy roaming around in the rain so we decided to postpone …

Who’s Zoomin Who

What a hectic chaotic week! I mentioned last week that I had a Shaman class in Scarborough on Sunday, but there were a few sick members and I thought we agreed to do it via Zoom for those who did not want to come in for whatever reason so I chose to zoom to save …

Release

The lockdown and isolation of the last year and a half has been so hard on many of us for a variety of reasons. My anxiety resulted in such feelings of doom that I was convinced that this was the end of life as we knew it and that feeling has proven to be true …

Peaks and Valley-entines

Last weekend was as full of highs and lows as a bipolar disorder riding a roller coaster. Even though I was prepared for the possibility that the majority of the Republicans would not have the balls to do what was right and vote to convict Trump, I was still devastated when the votes were in …

Two Countries, Three States, Many Cities

The Delta flight had microscopic seats with so little leg room that it would only seat a toddler comfortably. It was so uncomfortable that …

The Roundabout 

It has been over a month since my last blog. I don't even know where to begin with getting you all up to speed! Get a cuppa tea it will probably be a series of a gazillion bad photos. My apologies in advance. Mom had given us the date she departed rather than arrived and …

Patience for the Patient

I worked last week's public holiday so that this weekend I had a 4 day weekend but it has been far from relaxing. I woke on Monday to messages from my mom's friend's daughter that my Mom's car had been hit by a girl who ran a red light.   Mom has very bad osteoporosis …
