07/30 – it’s the little things
Journaling practice has been one of my favourite activities, a ‘me time’ which always brings me comfort. I’ve done it for many years, on and off, but more constant during the last 10 years. I call it “morning pages” referring to Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way when I write early mornings. Morning Pages are […]

Hump day
Yes, above is the photo of Sunday breakfast, today it is only yogurt and cereal, not worth a photo. Hump day means the middle of a workweek, 2 days gone and 2 more to go, in my case 3 to go, today, Wednesday, is one of the longest workdays for me. I’m starting now at […]

Water
Many years ago from the window of an airplane I saw a river with crystal blue water and I thought: This place will be my home. For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It’s always our self we find in the sea. e.e. cummings Now, as I write this post in my […]

WQWWC :: Freedom
This week’s theme for WQWWC is Freedom. Well, freedom has many meanings and possibilities. It depends on who is claiming it, who is experiencing moments of freedom or the lack of it. No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free. Buddha This sidewalk drawing was on my way […]

WQWWC :: Heat
This week’s theme for WQWWC is “heat”. I decided to go a little bit sideways and post about the heat from the soul, my inside heat that needs to come out in the form of creativity. Not sure if the word heat is the best, “fire” is more appropriate. For many years I’m using paintings […]

My first poetry publication
I’m happy to share with you that two of my poems have been published! I’ve never thought that one day my poetry would be good enough to be in a book. And it is almost unbelievable that they were published in a book that teaches how to write syllabic poetry! The form of published poems […]
