If you know me at all, you know I think being unique totally rocks and that blending in to the pack isn’t necessarily all that exciting. Just because everyone is wearing it, doing it, watching it, doesn’t mean I have to. I usually end up trying to create my own path, doing things just a […]
What to Expect When You’re NOT Expecting
Life has its moments hey? I’ve lived much of mine kind of as it comes. You know, deal with things as they’re handed to me. It’s served me to the degree that I’ve survived and haven’t crumbled under extreme circumstances. What I wasn’t doing was anticipating things to be different or better. I was not […]
Birds of a Feather
Watching these cute little birdies for the sum total of 3 minutes while waiting at a drive-through brought a few things to mind: when the weather sucks our feathered friends stick together flocking together creates a wee bit more warmth than going it alone when one finds food they all find food (and it’s more likely […]
Change the Flippin’ Lightbulb Already!
How long does it take one person (me) to change a light bulb? A while apparently! I couldn’t figure out why it was so dark in the kitchen and truth be told I don’t have a clue how long those 2 bulbs had been burned out! Yes, 2 of them. I like things bright and […]
Treat Others as You Treat Yourself
Have you ever stopped to really consider the phrase, “Treat others as you want to be treated”? While I believe it to be a powerful statement that is undervalued and overused, there is another thought that niggles at the back of my brain. It’s worked it’s way to the front now I guess, and therefore […]
Is There Anything RIGHT With the World?
So…I’m going to go a little ballistic here, be warned. I am SO completely done with the “you’re not good enough” mentality we are saturated with in our society. We talk about confidence, self-improvement, we say with one side of our mouth “you are enough” but really? Is that our true belief system? I’ve read […]
You’re Such a Baby!
Babies do such a great job at demonstrating life lessons, don’t they? When a baby learns how to do something it is with such wonder and delight. Progress = turning over from front to back – sitting up – crawling – pulling themselves up on furniture – that first step with trepidation and glee as […]
Words of Wisdom…Let It Be
Let it be, whisper words of wisdom….let it be. Another song lyric. One thing about music we all know well is that it is powerful and we can identify moments in time when it hits us to the core. I told someone this week that I wish some songs could be banned on all Calgary radio stations […]
Shine On Baby, Shine On
Diamonds. Precious gems. They don’t start out looking like the stunning pieces they are transformed into. While cleaning my rings recently I watched my dull, drab stones return to their shining glory and it generated some thoughts for consideration: These stones that become near and dear to us don’t usually start out as the bright […]
Live a Little, Live a Lot
You wake up every morning. You hit the floor running. Well, unless you’re like me and then you trudge with squinty eyes hoping not to tumble down the stairs on the way to the coffee pot. Your duties for the day roll over and across and around your brain, trying to make sense of the […]
