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

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 […]

Mr. Burns

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

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

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.  […]

Tart Day

Tomorrow is “International Tart Day”.  You should celebrate it. Yes, Christmas is a great holiday, but if you want something truly joyful, try Tart Day.  You might just discover your new favourite holiday.  It might be the best day never noticed. Here’s the background.  “International Tart Day” is a fake holiday I invented.  It falls […]

Politically Correct

So many times in the media, and even with the people I talk to every day, the notion of being “politically correct” rears its head.  Where do we draw the line? I wanted to share a very funny story about a card I made for a client.  I have been so busy these past few […]

Aaron Sorkin

Somehow Aaron Sorkin’s words are making a bigger impact on me now more than ever before. And mostly it’s the famous Leo Quote…. You know the one… “This guy’s walking down the street when he falls in a hole.  The walls are so steep he can’t get out.  A doctor passes by and the guy […]

Visions

Hanging in my front entry is a handmade poster.  Right there for everyone to see.  It’s hideously personal yet out on display.  A “vision board” I created during a course with the inspirational Kelly Benson. It’s a montage of the dreams, hopes, aspirations and goals I hope to accomplish.  A tapestry of pictures from magazines, […]
