Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend
After months of not writing, I am back on the blog-wagon. Teaching this year was great and very busy, so now that I have some time to relax, I am dusting off my keyboard and hitting the blog.

The Safe Harbour
Like a protective harbour, You are my refuge. I make my way through the narrows, Straight into your arms. Protected by the high cliffs and steep mountain sides, You cover me.

Yet even after I complained … Continue reading “You Can’t Stop It!”

Reading Old Journals And Looking Back
Photo by Caio on Pexels.com Hey folks, welcome back! These past few weeks have been a blur: from the 'Freedom Convoy' in Ottawa - with protests in multiple Canadian cities and at the US/Canada borders - protesting against state forced vaccine mandates, to my house bound mental state being shaken like the Hawaii Chair, arguably … Continue reading Reading Old Journals And Looking Back
The Importance of the ‘C’ Word
Listening to 'grace' being sung from my son’s bedroom at 7:39PM is a bit strange, especially when I know he is lying there with no food. Surrounded by construction vehicles, plastic army men, and of course Curious George, Isaac bellows out the words for my attentive ears down the hall. The song grows louder with … Continue reading The Importance of the ‘C’ Word
