“The Truth of My Chronology”
The New Year always presents us with a natural point in the busy year to take stock, reflect and perhaps plan for improvements for the coming year. This year is no different. At New Years I went for a lovely, cold, but sun-filled walk downtown Vancouver. I had...
“I Have Become a Comet”
Happy New Year! I thought I would share with you one of my favourite photos from this year, taken not that long ago in glorious Whytecliff Park. As the sun sets on 2016, I am left wondering, just like many of you, how we survived 2016. It was quite a year! A year...
Just As Long As We Have We
Yesterday I had a magical Christmas-y adventure up in Squamish at the Sea to Sky Gondola and lodge. This is perhaps one of my favourite places to visit now that I live out on the west coast. In fact, I have invested in a membership, which is a big commitment for this...
“There is a Crack in Everything” – Leonard Cohen
On a recent ferry ride to Vancouver Island I sat outside on the deck looking out over an angry, dark sky. The usually beautiful Gulf Islands looked particularly lonely on this dreary “wet coast” day. It had been raining all week and I felt more than...

“Let the Universe Have It’s Way With You” – Jann Arden
On this Thanksgiving weekend I am reminded just how much I have to be thankful for. The list is long! And overwhelming. And wonderful. I am thankful for enduring and new friendships, both equally cherished and appreciated. Just this weekend I am thrilled to have dear...
Where the Spirit Meets the Bone
The day’s presenters came from a variety of fields from education, to sports, healthcare, and technology. The topics of the short talks were as diverse and compelling as the presenters, yet, each year, I find myself seeking a common thread that I can pull at...
“Just Do Good”
15 years. It seems like yesterday doesn’t it? So much has changed in the world since that day. September 11, 2001. I took the photo above from the top of the Rockefeller Centre in 2009 looking out over Lower Manhattan. The Twin Towers once stood tall behind the...
The Sound of Silence
Happy Labour Day long weekend everyone! On many past long weekends I have found myself seeking out the last rays of summer sunshine, attempting to attract a few more freckles before the fall season begins. This year, the weatherman predicted a rainy, cool long weekend...About Me
