Dear You, It’s been far too long since we last spoke, and there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by where I haven’t thought about you. I miss you terribly. There are so many things I want to tell you. I want to hear about all the adventures you’ve been on, the people you’ve met,…

Vanilla
A crisp new Word document. Chai Latte (homemade). Vanilla and apricot undertones. French Vanilla. Ice Cream with a rich, dark hot chocolate sauce. Real vanilla isn’t white. Bake with the real stuff. I am not entirely sure why Vanilla was on my mind last evening, except to say that I was thinking about the real…
The Uncomfortable Truth
What if I told you that the cause of the explosion in Beirut was a nuclear device? Not that I know, but the fireworks factory blowing up story is getting old. What if it was a nuke? Not one from a country, but one of the many lost or stolen bombs that float like uncharted…
If I was an Ambassador for Canada…
The inequality offset by white privilege had me thinking quite deeply the last several years. We forget – FOR REAL – that we* are only second, third, fourth generation. Who arrived before us? If there is no proof of ownership, it’s… mine? Yours? It’s ours, this beautiful planet. And we’ve put it on life support…
Albino Raven
The legend … Of the White Raven Is true, but my photo is of a white crow. God bless all of us, Lisa
Historical Analysis of the Blog
As I prepare to start the next series, I can’t help but look back on this blog. This start. This field of dreams in the middle of Nowhere, Internet with my little voice. There were name changes. Mood swings. Meltdowns. /Rants. But, even my early stock photos were geared towards this journey. One of the…
The Great Divide
When I look at the continental divides of my generational family, it looks more like the San Andreas Fault rather than the Everything Fits Neatly Into Little Boxes In A Tree fairy tale series I tried to squeeze it into. Those store-bought baby albums didn’t accommodate divorced and remarried grandparents… or any other deviation from…
Whiplash
Are you feeling the whiplashes? Our eyes, our minds, our hearts, our souls bounce between the Gargoyles in the Catholic church. There is only one way to disrupt an infinite do loop, and God has that power. Line up Evolution with Creation in 2001: Space Odyssey Then travel to Drumheller to look at ancient dinosaur…

Sometimes, there is a love so pure, it transcends space, time and gravity. I love you, too. Dawn
Our Father…
Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil….
The Heart of Glass
The human heart shattered like Cinderella’s slipper. She offered it because she had already found timeless peace with the Lord Our Father. But how long is the wait on earth? Are we there yet? The End.
Don’t Assume
Don’t assume you know exactly what is going on in my life based on what you see. Do I know your fears, your hurts, your shame? What runs around in your brain like a terrified filly during those lonely twenty minutes before you fall asleep? What things have you done that you deeply regret? What…
