PTSD
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaPTSD is another silent killer. You might be suffering from it right now and don’t even know it. Thank goodness Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is attracting attention and the focus of the latest viral social media campaign. It’s also putting the spotlight on one group that is falling victim to this in horrendous numbers. I […]
Music, Signs and Pumpkin Spice
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaIt’s been a week when the commotion of going back to school and work has caused chaos for most of the people I come into contact with. In the frenzy there have been little bits and pieces that have caught my eye. Pumpkin spice is here and there is no turning back once the first […]
Can You Help Me?
/0 Comments/in SiWC /by TriciaAsking for help is tough. I feel like I’ve spent the entire summer doing just that. It’s been humbling, demoralizing and filled with some valuable lessons learned. One task I’ve had over the last few months was to garner some sponsors for the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. Once we won the matching grant from artsVest […]
Road Trip
/2 Comments/in Reading /by TriciaIf you believe that getting your book published means a road to fame and stardom then stop reading this blog right now. If you believe you can get published and compete with the likes of Tragically Hip, well you are insane. I believe I’m the only Canadian that doesn’t enjoy the Hip. This simple fact […]
Melanoma Strikes Back
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaMaybe I hadn’t done enough research? Maybe I was ignorant and in denial? Or maybe it was Melanoma’s revenge? Last week I was comical and said it would not get the best of me. I think the Big M was just having a day of sweet payback. It would not leave easily. Yes, this is […]
The Melanoma Word
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaIt’s pretty weird. Once you buy something, or think about something, it seems to be everywhere. Test-drive a red car and you see all the red cars on the road. Buy tartan Converse and everyone’s wearing them. Get diagnosed with Melanoma and you start to hear the word in too many conversations. I’m sure it’s […]
Faith
/0 Comments/in Tibetan Buddhism /by TriciaMy goal this week is to write about nothing. The ridiculous concept we Tibetan Buddhists endlessly chase after. The dilemma is, “nothing means nothing.” What I learnt on Sunday is that faith in nothing is the answer. And that’s the conundrum. Luckily I had a very wise man attempt to explain this to me. Luckily […]
With Malice
/0 Comments/in Blog, Death, Reading /by TriciaWherever your summer holidays find you, take along Eileen Cook’s WITH MALICE and I can guarantee you a journey you will never forget. This is one of my favourite books of the year, but the title rated number one. “WITH MALICE” I love when an uncommon word jumps into my sphere. I’m left wondering how […]
Sleep and Water
/0 Comments/in Blog, Happy /by TriciaThere are only two things your body needs on a daily basis. Everything else we can do without for days and even weeks. But you must have water and sleep. No that’s wrong. You must have sleep and some sort of liquid. You won’t last long without them. You will die. And even if you […]
60 Years Old
/4 Comments/in Blog, Happy /by Tricia“Soon I’ll be 60 years old …” That’s a line in the song I’ve been listening to lately. I started this blog three years ago and commented on the merits and drawbacks of turning 55. Nothing could foretell I would be here again, on my birthday, writing another week’s blog. And before you jump in […]
