Free Hugs!

I have a new thing. I started a weekly newsletter where I could write about deeper matters that I didn’t feel right sharing on Facebook or elsewhere. It’s an email from my heart to yours about life and other stuff. Two have been sent out to a lovely little audience.

Three Days in Vernon, BC

Wine, stand up paddle boarding, and tears of joy/ realization. What do these three things have in common? My recent trip to Vernon. I’ve been telling so many people about it that I figured it might be useful to a few of you if I put all my tips and tricks

Throwback Thursday Thingy

I recently went to London, England and reconnected with some lovely people there. One of those people is my friend Kim. We made this short film based on a poem I wrote. I hope you enjoy it. I look very different. Thank goodness my hair finally grew out.

All The Ways I’m Turning Into My Father

* Sometimes I eat chips and salsa for dinner. * I get annoyed when people don’t obey traffic laws. “That’s why the good lord invented signals  – you twit!” * I use my bicycle bell like my dad uses his car horn. * I phone my family (and friends that
