It’s human nature to want to be seen and heard by the people we love and admire. We want to feel we matter. On Friday I was able to have a personal blessing by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa. He’s one of the leaders in the Tibetan Buddhist world. I consider him my guru. The […]
I feel so guilty. Hell, I am guilty so at least I own it. I’m in Vancouver in the lap of comparable luxury. I even went for a stroll along our beautiful waterfront this morning. Gazing across at the city that looks so calm and serene and lucky. There’s time to go for a walk. […]
As I drove away I thought, whose running this place and what just happened? It was like I entered a realm where all the people acted the same way. Did they all drink some weird concoction to make them alike? Were they hooked into the same mystical wavelength? Or were they just smart people with […]
Maybe my tolerance for stupid is running amuck. Three times a week I drive along Alberni Street between Burrard and Thurlow. It’s in the middle of a busy area of downtown Vancouver surrounded by hotels, condos, upscale restaurants and shops. And clearly a mecca for stupid people. It’s difficult to drive down the street because […]
It was National Siblings Day last Friday. Does every person/animal/thing get a special day now? Isn’t it all too weird and narcissistic? I shouldn’t talk… I used to harp about having a National Tricia Day. Better yet, an International Tricia Day! On Friday I did click on my sister’s Facebook page to see what she […]
Note to self: If you don’t like something… change it. It might take some work and sometimes you won’t succeed, but one person can make a difference. As I write this I laugh because I hate change. I never opt for something different and the thought makes me sick. I hang on to the known. […]
It was pretty obvious what I would be writing about for this week’s blog. What I didn’t know is how the topic would make me think and feel. Saturday night I went to the Balding for Boney event. It was a concert put on by the SFU Pipe Band to raise money for the BC […]
These people scare the crap out of me. They look friendly, but are they? I have my doubts. The guy at the back… the tall one with the big smile. His name is Owen Laukkanen. Last week I found out Owen thinks about hostage taking and what kind of guns do the most damage. So […]
I like birthdays. I’m surprised when people don’t celebrate their own. Why wouldn’t you grab the opportunity to give yourself a high-five? Why in the world would you not cheer yourself? Has Kim Kardashian made us think and feel that to “stand up and be counted” is a bad thing? (Trust me, Kim is in […]
“Fred Latremouille has died.” Twitter must be wrong, there is no way Fred could be dead, no way. Twitter was right. So I cried. In the mid 70’s I was a chubby, acne-faced, broken teenager and Fred Latremouille’s biggest fan. When Fred was on CFUN in the afternoons I was always listening. My world revolved […]
