Million Dollar Views

A few weeks ago a group of us played golf at a local city course, it has always amazed me that this plot of land hasn’t been sold to the highest bidder and then covered in condos. These are million dollar views; downtown, the river and blue sky as far as the eye can see. […]

Quote 3 of 3 Calling out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat Summer’s here and the time is right For dancing in the street Okay, not so much of a quote as a rally cry! Don’t waste the birdsong, the radio playing in the car next you at the traffic […]

Dance Baby Dance

I read a blog today that really resonated with me, to such a degree that I’m setting aside my planned post in it’s honour. I was also challenged by Simon Wood to do 3 quotes over 3 days. This was the second challenge quote, the first one came in when I was on holidays and […]

Three deep breaths…

I appear to have dislocated my efficiency my ability, to organize and prioritize. My desk is a state the dishes, the laundry, the garden…. I feel myself hesitate.

Take Off Your Slippers…

Today I almost left the house, in my slippers, so comfortable they are part of me. With this comfort there is no strain, no stress, no flexing of muscles. This comfort is good, good in slippers. With this comfort in life, you forget to learn, to stretch, to feel the joy of something new. In […]
