Stories about parenting your children and your soul
In my last post, No revenue? Then what’s the point of this blog? , I wrote about our desire to guard and protect our valuable time. Since our time is so limited, and therefore precious, we’re constantly weighing our options, trying to determine the most efficient way to get to our destination, or to achieve our goals. […]
Reflections on time, priorities and what we are all doing here My mom got her real estate licence at the age of 55. (Prior to this, she and my dad owned a business and self published two books.) At a time when many people are planning and looking forward to retirement, she was planning on starting a […]
This guy once told me I wasn’t very memorable. I didn’t ask him to explain, because I just wanted to change the subject. But that comment remained with me for the next 20 years. Although I was offended, I think I now understand what he meant. We had attended elementary school together and 10 years […]

My back is still aching and I’ve been having trouble bending over. My parents are preparing to sell their house, so I have been helping to clear out the junk, much of which I left behind after moving out 15 years ago. Anyway, you’re probably thinking that I forgot to bend my knees when I […]
I just thought of a really good comeback for that cranky, rude woman…the one who, at Tim Hortons, complained that my crying baby was disturbing her… …too bad that incident happened five years ago.
