Your glass?

26 February, 2014 /4 Comments/in /by

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? The answer might be the most telling in regards to a well lived life… or not. I find people with positive attitudes are happy no matter what is happening. Oh sure, they have bad days, sad days, and even mad days. But in the end, no matter what is […]

With Glowing Hearts

I’ve been watching the Olympics. And I’ve been wearing my “blue jacket” from our 2010 Winter Olympics here in Vancouver. I loved being a volunteer and was thrilled to work on the opening and closing ceremonies. My job was to be a “floater” and when I arrived for my volunteer shift I was sent to […]

Shoes

I lost my favourite pair of shoes this week. This makes me sad. I loved those shoes. They were only part of the reason I missed posting my blog this week. The other was a colonoscopy. Or to be more exact, what happened three hours after the procedure. You hear stories about how the prep […]

Believe Me

The world was so different back then. We didn’t talk about these things except in hollow whispers. Children held no power. What did we know? Who had our backs? For the last few days I watched, read, and listened to the storm surrounding Dylan Farrow and Woody Allen with a weird sense of wonder and […]

Serendipity

29 January, 2014 /2 Comments/in /by

I love serendipity. I love those little connecting moments. Some people believe you are in a state of heightened awareness when you start to notice these things. Like when you first fall in love with someone… you marvel at how many things you have in common, how it all seems like fate… how it was […]

At about 4am this Saturday, January 25, 2014 there will be a shift in the universe. You might not feel is where you live, and it might not be the lead story on the news radio station, but I will tweet about it. The fact will cause a stir! For the first time in 22 […]

Nothing

15 January, 2014 /1 Comment/in /by

I should be flattered, all day long people have been asking, “Where’s the blog?” Why I promised I would post every Wednesday I will never know? But I do know! I’m lazy and if I didn’t make the commitment I would blog a few times then life would get in the way and weeks and […]

Sharks

The long line to board the ferry resulted in a chat with the young woman next to me.  First about the horrendous amount of “walk-ons”, then bemoaning that being at the end of the line there would be no seats and we would probably be sitting on the floor for the journey.  It was January […]

First Light

1 January, 2014 /2 Comments/in /by

I cover myself with a veil.  If you look carefully you can see it but to most it’s hidden or maybe invisible.  On January 1st at dawn’s first light I can be found at a ceremony reaffirming my pervasive intent.  Reaffirming my basic nature, or at least the nature I aspire to… my Buddha Nature.  […]
