One event with multiple people can produce countless views and very different opinions. A sporting event, a concert, or an annual community picnic can elicit the same amount of complaints as praise. A family wedding can stir up gossip, hearsay and a few drunk relatives who somehow believe their loud words can’t be heard. Unfortunately,Continue reading “Shared Experiences”

The Vaccine So-Called Tracking Device
There is a lot of information out there and it can get confusing. I know a lot of people don’t like vaccines in general, and I would never want to push anyone into doing anything that made them feel uncomfortable. I got it, my choice, and yes I was hesitant at first – I feltContinue reading “The Vaccine So-Called Tracking Device”
Flexing My Muscles
Trying new things seems to get harder with age, especially when it comes to high-tech gadgets and gizmos. But I knew I had to bite the bullet sometime. And late, is better than never. Since March 2020, Covid has prevented me [understandably] from going into the schools to promote my books. I patiently waited overContinue reading “Flexing My Muscles”
Heads Up!
“Chin up.” Is an old expression adults would say to kids who were feeling sad or disappointed. It was an attempt to lift the child’s spirit out from their misery. Likewise, “Put your head down!” teachers would say when they wanted a child to focus on their work. Heads up vs heads down. There areContinue reading “Heads Up!”
A Penny For Your Thoughts
After we joyfully make a wish and playfully toss a penny in a wishing well we curiously watch where it lands before we walk away feeling satisfied. It isn’t long before distractions consume our thoughts. Long line-ups at the check-outs, noisy traffic, the neighbour’s cat clawing at your garden, etc. As days turn into weeks,Continue reading “A Penny For Your Thoughts”
All Roads Lead To Here
So many young adults are struggling at the fork in the road. Which way should they go? They feel an urgency to decide today what their destiny will be. I had a discussion recently with someone and it seemed to alleviate some of this pressure. I told them I didn’t know what I wanted toContinue reading “All Roads Lead To Here”
A Sense of Self
We are all aware of the five senses we humans have, and some believe there is a sixth sense that we possess, but I think I found another – a seventh sense! We feel, we taste, we smell, we see, we hear, and sometimes we know we know something without really knowing why we knowContinue reading “A Sense of Self”
A New Beginning
I discovered my method of doing things has not been working out too well. I procrastinate when I don’t want to do something. And I stubbornly forge ahead when I do. This only leaves me dissatisfied. And what do grumpy dissatisfied people naturally do? They complain and blame. “Well if it wasn’t for …” “IfContinue reading “A New Beginning”
Exploring the Superhero’s Story
Recently, while working on a comic-book, I completely zoned out while drawing and found my mind drifting toward the ‘average’ person in a story, and began relating them to ‘everyday people’ of today. Their identity was my main focus. Prior to becoming a Superhero most of these super-heroes-to-be have an identity that is flawed andContinue reading “Exploring the Superhero’s Story”
March on Washington
Imagine the soothing voice of Morgan Freeman reciting this to you. [I have to ask you to imagine his voice because I wouldn’t know how to contact him – lol] May the words of both Martin Luther King Jr., and Congressman John Lewis, echo in our minds and remain written in our hearts. Recent newsContinue reading “March on Washington”
