It’s time to start focusing on my next book, The Longer Game. I just spent the last couple of hours working on a story for this blog and realize it’s much better suited for the book. That leaves me with nothing for this week. Sooner or later something had to give. Next week I’ll go […]
It’s a classic scenario. I was out on a stroll with my boyfriend and after a few minutes of silence I asked him what he was thinking about, he said, “Nothing.” How can that be? Isn’t the mind always busy? Isn’t there always something going on up there? Even if it’s thoughts about the mundane. […]
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 […]
