I find great comfort in the universe’s ability to right itself; to maintain harmony; to counterbalance each action with an equal but opposite reaction. I can tend to forget about life’s splendid capacity for symmetry while wrapped up inside my head, particularly when my thoughts are darker than usual. 8220;Have you ever been in love? Paints a pretty sad picture eh? Gaimon’s description...

I often seek inspiration from my favourite writers and poets. These words from Rilke give me hope. The world we desire can be won. It exists. It is possible. Now there’s a heroic sentiment if ever I heard one. Thursday, July 12, 2012. How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. The pitiful thing is.

In wondering about 2012, like many others, I resolved once more to eat healthier, get fitter, slimmer, and be more fiscally responsible. In fact, reading a survey in the newspaper of the top five most common New Year’s resolutions, within a few hours of waking on January 1st, I had considered at least four of the five. A Case of You. Ever the hopeful rom...

So many what if’s come to mind. I choose to disregard them. And once again nothing. No story worth telling came forth. No cool characters I could get excited about. No interesting plot ideas. No original place or names, gadgets or gizmos. November 1st came and went. Nope. Still nothing. 8220;The Neighbours”. Lilli...

I could have sworn it was just October a second ago. In spending some time thinking about the past year, I was reminded of how quickly time seems to zip by. The older I get, the faster the days and months seem to whirl past. On a day to day basis I don’t really note any difference. It’s only when I pause for a second. A triumph for me over my...

Musings on the not so ordinary life of one Canadian chick. View my complete profile. Saturday, August 6, 2011. A Bit of a Bumpy Ride. Choppy is a good word to describe this week. Ups and downs. Lots of them. Getting used to my new routine has been more challenging than I had expected. Thinking I would simply replace a good portion of my previous work day with writing has shown itself to be anything but a successful approach. Of course not. I know that. I saw two movies. I read two books. The dogs are bat...

I live in a walkable city. I don’t drive much and like that everything I need or want is a relatively quick stroll away. Even now, with my odd aches and pains, I love to walk. Sunday, August 8, 2010.
