I reconnected with someone at a church dinner. The dinner itself, a fundraiser for a new sound system took place at my old parish. Meeting the new pastor, new to me, at my old parish warrants an entry. This story involves women, bows, and arrows all glowing in the dark. The person I saw again … Continue reading Tapping the Inner Katniss/Merida/Hawkeye/Green Arrow

A New Goal Takes Shape
If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud. -Emile Zola-
Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Legs
On Sunday my group and I had beautiful weather, the sidewalks largely alright despite some icy patches. Monday brought snow courtesy of a front closing parts of Manitoba,Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Environment Canada called it a 'heavy snow fall warning.' While the wind largely died down in the evening, the ice found itself covered in loosely … Continue reading Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Legs
Building Better Worlds through Book Banning
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. -River Tam in Serenity Another Freedom to Read Week has passed for this year. For the past couple of years, starting … Continue reading Building Better Worlds through Book Banning
I Know What You Mean
After logging into WordPress, I zoom straight the Freshly Pressed section. I may find a new blog to follow, but most of the time the ones by writer usually serve as a pick me up. Usually their downs, along with their ups, helps me to not go over the self-deprecating rails. One blog entry from … Continue reading I Know What You Mean
Putting Goals into Play
I set up my 'Goals for 2013' page as a way to set some ideas down. The next step is make them happen. Over monthly brunch on Sunday, E remarked how she's tired of scarves, boots, and jackets. She articulated what I felt lately. My friend R smartly replied we just have to hang on … Continue reading Putting Goals into Play
With a Litte Humour It’s Not That Bad
After my last posting I figured a little Valentine's Day humour is in order. Tonight's movie rumpus choices is either watching Robin Hood (BBC version aka Richard Armitage doing bad-ass things in leather), or The Avengers (Jeremy Renner doing bad-ass things in leather both mesmerized and non-mesmerized.) I need to get my sexy rumpus adventure somewhere.
How Do I Dislike This Day, Let Me Count the Ways
I dislike Valentine's Day. I don't dislike February 14th, that's my late grandmother's birthday. I just don't like the pink-and-red propaganda machine known as Valentine's Day. If you have not guessed it by now, yes I am single. I don't think my tone would change if I had someone in my life. I would remember what it's like to … Continue reading How Do I Dislike This Day, Let Me Count the Ways
The Pope Gives Up Being Pope for Lent
When I sat down in front of my laptop, coffee in hand, I nearly spit out my coffee. The words 'Pope' and 'resignation' have not happened in 600 years. When it comes down to resignations, I didn't expect it from this guy. When Joseph, Cardinal, Ratzinger got elected as Pope my heart sank. The guy has … Continue reading The Pope Gives Up Being Pope for Lent
Shedding the January Blues
January is a strange month for me. December brings longer nights and holiday nuttiness, but January turns my brain to mush. It feels harder to think, tougher to focus, and moodier emotions upon hitting the snooze on my alarm clock. If I didn't have the running clinic, I would happily eat, sleep, work, come home, … Continue reading Shedding the January Blues
