Because I don’t have filters on my blog, I get a number of comments from Anonymous. Many of them never actually post to the blog, but the feeds come through to my e-mail. I usually just ignore them or delete them. In fact, I’m not sure why I even bothered to open this one. The […]
Today it was -20ºC 8:00am. It’s now 9:21am and it’s still -20ºC. It’s going to be a cold one!! My daughter reminded me that the weather somewhere, like Thunder Bay, for example, where she has been in school, on and off for the last 18 months, is -40ºC. OK, there is a reason why I
I wasn’t going to write about the significance of 2014 in numerology, because it is a little hokey.

For my last post for the year, I was going to do a collection of my favourites from 2013, but that would mean re-reading 364 posts. I also know that I would find errors to correct and syntax to improve, which could take days. Instead, I found a post from January 2013, that had a
…..Or the success of failure. I read this great article on creativity – 28 inspirational reminders for crazy creative people.

“Let him who is without words throw the first stone..” I think that I need to practise a little stoning – that is creating stones – small pieces of writing that concentrate on something coming in through the senses.

OK, I can be a little dramatic sometimes. Actually the title refers to a site that is starting a challenge – Oh, yes, another one and it is also a writing challenge. The site “Writing Our Way Home” is holding what they call their small stones challenge. The link explains it in detail, but briefly,
…… We were invited to a few gatherings over the holidays. Not a lot, since both my husband and I are introverts, so extroverted “things” like parties, tend to be avoided. However, a neighbour and an old friend invited us to an open house last night. We knew that we could pop in for an
What is it about a trip to an art gallery that makes everyone think that they are artists!! I am not against this phenomenon…in fact I think that it is FABULOUS!! and I think that too many people discredit themselves, as artists. In fact, if we all didn’t have to “work” to make a living,
We somehow ended up with a book of coupons from a magazine that my husband subscribes to every year. Most coupons we never use, however, there was one in this book for the McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario. It’s about a thirty minute drive away, so we decided to go, because with the coupon,
