Ian and Sam
/2 Comments/in Blog, Uncategorized /by TriciaIt’s all so personal. What we like, what we hate. I love reading crime fiction. I love short sentences. I love reading about places I love. I love when a few words say everything. Last week I read a book with some of the best sentences I’ve ever read. Last week I read INVISIBLE DEAD […]
A Spike and A Naked Woman
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaMy Sunday morning was going to include a walk along the old railway tracks in search of some history. A souvenir. I wanted a spike. Loose ones were hard to find so I was prepared for a long trek. The land that makes up the Arbutus Corridor had been sold and the railway was being […]
Haggis Hunt
/0 Comments/in Blog, Happy, Uncategorized /by TriciaIt’s hard to believe I was the person that discovered these mythical little creatures eight years ago. Until then, people didn’t Haggis Hunt at the BC Highland Games. Until then, we didn’t have kids running around Percy Perry Stadium searching for these wild, wee animals. Until then, I didn’t spend my day surrounded by Haggis […]
Behind The Smile
/0 Comments/in Blog, Death, Happy, Uncategorized /by TriciaI just got back from the doctor’s office. His last words to me were, “Now you can stop worrying.” Dr. Ho knew I had been going crazy with the stress of “what if…” Dr. Ho can sometimes read my mind. I hadn’t shared my health scare with the people around me. Right now it seems […]
Olympic Gold Medal
/2 Comments/in Blog, Happy, Personal Training /by TriciaHe gave me a little smile and said, “I don’t know if you’re serious or not.” “What? Of course I’m serious! As far as I’m concerned, we’re going to compete and probably win a gold medal at the next Winter Olympics.” Then I gave my classic, disbelieving, shake of the head. I do this to […]
My Little Brother
/2 Comments/in Blog, Happy /by TriciaForty-three years ago I gave my brother a hug before I walked out of his life. I was 15 and he was 10. It was a quick grasp without much meaning. Little did I know it would haunt me for decades. Life rarely gives us a “do-over” or a chance to make something better. Last […]
YouTube and the Pipe Band
/5 Comments/in Blog, Happy /by TriciaWhy would I ever post anything on YouTube? Why do I make the trek to visit the Victoria Highland Games every year? Why do I endure the long weekend ferry line ups? Why am I such a big fan of the SFU Pipe Band? Here’s why… It’s become a tradition. I visit some of my […]
HE Tai Situpa Rinpoche
/0 Comments/in Blog, Happy, Personal Training, Tibetan Buddhism /by TriciaPeople saw the picture and said I looked calm and serene. Wrong. What was really going on inside my head? “Don’t drop it. Don’t trip. Don’t cry. Seriously… when you look into his eyes, don’t cry!” I waited seventeen years to see Tai Situ Rinpoche again. I would never have guessed I would be one […]
Bikers Against Child Abuse
/2 Comments/in Blog /by TriciaThis morning I woke up without an idea for today’s blog. After a couple of minutes looking at my Twitter feed the topic became obvious. My friends were back! Trump and fires and where the rich are hiding their money can only divert our attention for a few news cycles. Woody is back! Ghomeshi was […]
A Funeral
/5 Comments/in Blog, Death /by TriciaI went to a funeral today. I promised I wouldn’t blog about the death. We all have secrets. We all tell lies. I looked around the room and wondered how many know the truth. You may think you know, but are you just kidding yourself? Do we have any sense of what someone else is […]
