The Rats are Winning

Years ago there was the Dick Van Dyke show. But a few years after it went off the air there was another sitcom starring Dick Van Dyke. The genius title for the new show was The New Dick Van Dyke show. The sixties and seventies had brilliant writers. Now I don't remember much about either … Continue reading The Rats are Winning →

Childhood Trauma

Last year I entered the world of Instagram. At first I found it fun and somewhat informative. I am ADHD, love to cook (and eat), I weight lift, I garden, do home improvements. And so I started to follow like minded people. Just last week a man came across my feed who had a unique … Continue reading Childhood Trauma →

The Dreaded School Reunion

I got an email the other day from my girlfriend Dixie. The first person I met at a new school after moving to a new town. I was in grade five and Dixie got me into trouble with the teacher that first day. Somehow we have managed to keep in touch since that cool autumn … Continue reading The Dreaded School Reunion →

Social Media… The New Religion

Once upon time there was a Philosopher named Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. He was born in Germany in 1770 and one day he wrote a book called "Elements of the Philosophy of Right". By all accounts he was a bright boy and like all bright little boys he grew up to be a thinker. Philosophy … Continue reading Social Media… The New Religion →

My New Year (AKA my birthday)

Today is my birthday. I am 62 today. For years I have chosen to celebrate my birthday as the first day in the New Year. Because it is my new year. My hubby thought that was sort of self centred. Which is true. But it is the day I start a brand new year at … Continue reading My New Year (AKA my birthday) →

New Year… Time to hit the Gym

My first foray into a weight room was with my first boyfriend. Our first date was in grade six. Well, I was in grade six. He was in grade five. Fast forward a few years. I think it was grade nine that our school put in a small weight room. My boyfriend (yep, same guy) … Continue reading New Year… Time to hit the Gym →

Love My Morning Paper…

Years ago, my husband used to get up on the weekend and walk three blocks to buy his morning paper. Often my daughter would go with him. My neighbour still comments that she would see him leave the house and think to herself "There goes Rene'. Getting the paper." He read the Calgary Sun every … Continue reading Love My Morning Paper… →

Do It for Love… Not Likes

Once a month I get a reminder email from my girlfriend Maureen. It's time for soup. Maureen and Rhonda are my two closest friends. We are all so different. We have known each other since grade five when I moved to town, but we have been in and out of each other's lives for fifty … Continue reading Do It for Love… Not Likes →

Why Y’all Gotta Be So Anxious?

My son came to town last week for a visit. He had the start of a rash and so like a good Mom I headed to my local Organic market. They also sell lots of homeopathic and Chinese medicine type ingredients. I was going to mix up a salve to put on the rash as … Continue reading Why Y’all Gotta Be So Anxious? →

Playing the Long Game

After my husband died, I spent three months in my basement crying and eating potatoe chips. Twenty-six pounds later I realized I was killing myself with grief and junk food. I spent some time then throwing myself into projects to distract my brain. Busy and exhausted leaves little time for tears. But I did ignore … Continue reading Playing the Long Game →
