Another word for the writing challenge is “fusion” – the joining of two or more things to create a third. I couldn’t help playing with this word, by fusing it with other words, OK, prefixes. Hence, from fusion, we can make – confusion, diffusion, suffusion, effusion, affusion. It’s an interesting way of increasing one’s vocabulary […]
Another word to write about (about which to write)….I may be catching up, but I may also be losing it!! Adjustments….let me count the ways. How many times in a day, an hour, even a minute, do we make adjustments? Smooth the hair, settle the jacket, sniff, blink….. It’s those unconscious movements or moments that
Inventive is our word for this week or maybe the past two weeks. Life has been getting in the way of writing. I know life should be writing, if you are very serious, but I happen to be serious about a few things, so everything gets done in its own time!! What can I say
Our word for the last few day has been “hostile.” With the election and all, I haven’t found the time to write, until now. For better or for worse – here it is. Yes, we live in hostile times. One year under the Trump administration and Canadians have been turned away at the border, insulted

Certainly Christine Blasey Ford showed poise – grace under extreme pressure, in her testimony against Brett Kavanaugh, which was televised. It takes a
Perfectionism is our word for today. I am not a perfectionist, although I am getting better. I marvel at people who spend time on “things” to get everything just right. I’m more of the “just do it.” Not so much to dash it off – a league or so away from perfection, but just to
My friend has started a “Go-Fund Me” campaign to help bring the minimum wage project, which was started by the Liberal government and cancelled by the new government, to completion. It has one more year after this one, to run its course and be accurately evaluated. People on the program – 4,000 in all, have
Our word for today is “crowds.” It’s from an article I was reading about the crowds of tourists practically destroying the treasures they have come to see. I have said before, there are too many people in this world. That being said, I still find it eerie to be alone in a deserted area. We
