I awoke remembering a morning 19 years ago. My alarm had gone off but there was momentary radio silence and then the DJ said something about one of the twin towers being hit by a plane and that it had just collapsed. I honestly thought it was a joke but jumped out of bed to …
My sunflower versus my work neighbour’s… Pop up mall was back and Sean, CFEK general manager bought coffee. A great moment in the sun with co-working space friends. It was a jump from one thing to the other day, paid and volunteer moments that included a visit from both Rae-Anne and Maureen. A client stopped …
It really is quite interesting that the only sunflower in my yard flowering is the one in the bag of dirt, the rest being tall but still green. A fun day happened at work with 4 local businesses setting up a pop-up mall in the Ground Floor parking lot. There was a barista, a barber, …
I was left with so many thoughts about the two conversations I had with two very dear friends. I had been asked by Maureen to put together a wish list of gear for the community theatre and I reached out to Doug Cox for advice.

If I stop to dwell on this mission to blog I become overwhelmed with all the little issues. I try not to go back and reread. The temptation to edit is too great, even to fix the spelling and grammar changes the meaning of the moment. To not go back also leaves me wondering how …
I had raggedy sleep last night. No alarm though due to the Labour Day long weekend. I spent the morning researching and ordering a tech item to create a special effect for the upcoming show.

Hopped on the bike and rode into the sunrise. had a very productive day and finished it off with dinner at friends. It feels like everything is getting back to normal after the chaos of the week. A year ago I was in Brighton Beach walking in the English Channel and spending time with my …
The little square on my paper calendar and the list on my phone was full with Dentist for cleaning, Tech meeting for upcoming show and strata council meeting. I brought Aiden with me to the tech meeting as I think he would be great as a theatre volunteer and it will be a good college …
I started my day on my motorcycle taking a swing past the site of the calamity. As I went by I noticed two things that caught my artistic eye so I swung way around the block and pulled into the parking lot next door. There was a barricade and police tape across part of the …
I love my calendar flip today. I do feel like I have an amazing tribe. Monika brought me a beautiful plant and card to congratulate me for making big moves. The CFEK crew brought cake! It turned out to be perfect timing as we were all at odds during a power outage. What a lovely …
