Whenever I hear something I find interesting or see something that sparks a creative fire in me, I make a note of it on my phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in this practice. However, sometimes my notes are not all that clear. Half a sentence here, shorthand there, a name. I was looking atContinue reading “Living in Congruence”

Do you suffer from gerasophobia?
I’m a bit worried these days. You see, I think I suffer from gerascophobia. When I think about it, I get scared. My heart races a bit, and I feel sad. I dread it. I joke about it. But deep down inside, I am worried about it. Embrace it? Nope. Not on your life. YouContinue reading “Do you suffer from gerasophobia?”
Pet Power
As I write this blog, I am away from home looking after my “grand dog”, Bruce. Bruce is a nine-year-old English Bulldog. He is adorable, although I must admit I was terrified when my daughter told me she had adopted a bulldog from the local animal shelter. It was a surprise for her, as sheContinue reading “Pet Power”
To Toss or not to toss
After doing some painting in our house, I stared at the bare walls and debated which photos to hang. You see, before painting, the walls were cluttered with framed family photos and other art. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to re-hang all the family photos. My 30-year-old son suggested I just toss them. “NoContinue reading “To Toss or not to toss”
Don’t get scammed!
We had a major snowstorm the other day. We’re talking close to 30 cm in a few hours. Streets were impassable, and although city crews did get out quickly and clear the main roads, residential areas were a nightmare for days. The next thing I knew, I was getting texts from delivery companies informing meContinue reading “Don’t get scammed!”
My Inner Hag
“Our journey through the second half of life is above all a psychospiritual journey. It’s a time for what Carl Jung called ‘individuation’ – the process by which each of us becomes more whole, and fully embodies the unique gift which we bring to this world, at this time.” These are the words of Dr.Continue reading “My Inner Hag”
Find Your Awe
When was the last time you saw, felt, smelled, or did something that left you speechless and made your heart soar and your brain do a happy dance? When did you last experience awe? I bet your mind is now going to your latest vacation or flipping back through the major events and milestones ofContinue reading “Find Your Awe”
Holiday Stress 1, Christmas Spirit 0
I was listening to a radio call-in show the other day. The topic was “How is your holiday spirit?” Not surprisingly, most callers (and those who emailed in) said their Christmas spirit was low compared to other years. Some were hoping that once they put the tree up, that would change. Some said they wereContinue reading “Holiday Stress 1, Christmas Spirit 0”
A wake-up call
I was having a great game. Things were going my way; my shots were landing where I wanted. Suddenly, I felt a “twaaaang” around my right hip. What the heck was that? Oh well, the adrenalin surged, and I kept playing. The strange sensation was forgotten, and I finished the game. Just before the nextContinue reading “A wake-up call”
Bionic Generation
The producers of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, starring Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner, respectively, sure had foresight when these two iconic TV series first aired in the 1970s. Who would have thought that just a few decades later, “bionics” would be so commonplace? (Do you realize that Lee Majors isContinue reading “Bionic Generation”
