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…
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.
The Calling
It’s out of the blue … yet it isn’t. You asked, but you completely forgot. You had to. Why? To let go of the preconceived notion of what a bird in my hand means. That baby would fly. And that wasn’t The Calling. The Calling was on February 13th, 2020 around 11AMish. Carly pulled. I…
I am a storyteller
I am a storyteller. Many years ago when I asked myself “Who am I?” I didn’t know the answer. I raced back and forth, searching frantically for myself when I should have stood still. Hindsight is 20/20 but at least I began my exploration of Self. This is my story. As I have said multiple…

Ink to Pixel
It has been more difficult than I anticipated to return to writing online. For over a year, my stream of consciousness has bubbled over neatly clipped stacks of white lined sheets titled with the date, section, chapter, page, then categorized and colour-coded with liquid highlighters. This is how I journal/write. I can Venn Diagram my…
Change the Church
I am disappointed in my church – the Anglican Church of Canada – for failing to pass the canon allowing same-sex marriage ceremonies. In an age when the Church is facing extinction, when we all need spiritual guidance, this was their chance to proudly lead the way to acceptance and love for all of God’s…
Stuck in the Sand
One of my best coping strategies is sticking my head in the sand. “La! La! La! La! I can’t hear you!” I yell at myself, eyes squeezed tightly shut, fingers jammed into my own ears like a three-year-old. When my bestie asks if I have dealt with <current crisis> I respond with “Shhhhhhhh. There is…
The Power of a Smile
I remember when my son was starting Grade 4 at a brand-new school. He went through four different IQ tests in Grade 3 which identified him in the top 2%. Our regional school board supported a Gifted Program and provided bussing to transport these exceptional students to a satellite school in our town. My son…
