I know you were looking for some kind of road stories, Lisa... but road stories are better told when being reflected on. They come in snippets of information that need to be stitched together to make any kind of sense... like a series of white lines that only turn into a highway when you've backed away from them a little. Meanwhile, I want to chime in about everybody's current…

Wednesday nights are Shambhala night.

Team teaching BodyCombat with Caroline and Casper (the photographer!).

Learning to teach a second track for BodyCombat class. Hopefully the second one won't fall out my head after teaching the first...

Two weeks until we move house? Better start packing! Rosie's looking for an early ticket outta here.

Celebrating a friend's birthday. Lots of smiles!

As the sun's last rays begin to fade from the sky

I turn towards you

Your eyes give a hint of a smile

I reach out for your hands

Pulling me into your arms

I let the day's worries melt away

There are so many problems to…

A surprise birthday lunch for a friend at a local Fredericton restaurant.

Keep the internet open.  We've heard that we need to sacrifice our privacy to prevent piracy, pornography, and now they just want law enforcement to have the right to snoop at any time.  That's what it's always been about.  Please support our Canadian neighbors by denying PM Harper this right to their data.   Thank you.…

Delayed mail means a second birthday! Yay! Rosie supervises my unwrapping.

I make it off the sofa for the first time in days! Glorious fresh air!

Still sick. But, some kindness brightens the day! Our neighbours (my heroes) brought me some homemade chicken vegetable soup and bread. They also arranged for their plow guy to come and clear our driveway, after it had been snowing all day and night. I remember that life is…

Not long into Sunday after seeing the kitties, I started to come down ill with a bad cold/flu. I basically spent the rest of my time since then huddled down on the sofa. This photo was taken accidentally while sneezing, but was quite representative of my last two days, so I kept…

What better way to spend Sunday mornings than hanging out with the kitties at my local SPCA! I get to play with them and make a fuss over them, as part of the cat socialization program that aims to help their wellbeing and adoptability.

A birthday treat: Going to a house concert to see the wonderful Ross Neilsen, a local musician and legend in the making. He recently made it to the semi-finals at the International Blues Challenge down in Memphis. (Where, I might add, that another local musician - Matt Andersen - won the solo award a few years ago. The only Canadian ever to do…

What was left of the yummy Baileys and Vodka birthday cake made for me by a dear friend. Starting my 30s with the kindness of others.

Recently, I turned the big 3-0. For some time before that, I wavered between wanting the milestone to slide under the radar completely unnoticed, and wanting to embrace it.

Then, I found myself speaking with a friend of mine who was doing this cool thing called Project 34. She had gotten the idea from a friend of hers. The basic concept was that on…

     Almost every morning i awake from the strange world of a fantastic dream. I keep notebooks and pens right next to the bed within arm's reach, so i can write down the most interesting ones. Like most people, i imagine, if i don't get the details down within just a few moments of waking, my memory of the dream just fades away, piece by piece, until nothing is…

This week's client on her recent separation, 

"He's spending time with people who don't really know him, that's good"
