• Since we are already a quarter into the year, I thought it would be prudent to do a bit of a check-in on my New Year’s Resolutions made. After all, why make them if I do not intend to check in or follow through? So, here they are (linked to the original) with some updates on my progress so far. 🙂 Health: Well, the six-pack is in progress, but not quite there yet.…

  • Tonight I fly on my first proper holiday since December 2015! It’s been a crazy year and although it might not be the wisest thing to do – going on holiday now – I am going to be joyful for the opportunity and ability to do it anyway. I think I have done it as cheaply as I can with using Airmiles to buy my ticket and saving up portions of my yoga…

  • My gym days are a little by the wayside. However, my goal to tone my stomach is still coming along – through the yoga. 😉 So, with a lot more yoga happening and a weekend of training before I head to Japan, I am taking a wee break still from the gym. I plan to do a bit more running/walking while on holiday, but the weights will have to wait until I get…

  • The other day I was sharing a bit of our challenging situation with a friend. Every time I do speak with a friend to update on our life or share our current story, they always comment on how calm I seem to be about everything. In fact, when they say it I realize it is true, I am very calm. So calm that it almost feels as if I might be in denial…

  • My fascination with religions stems back to my foster family days – the one just before I was adopted by my family now. Although later I would learn that they were Seventh Day Adventist, at the time I just knew that I went to church and started out in the church school.  Some time later I recalled the stories from Bible school and found a book that I had probably been given about…

  • Being sick is one of my most hated things in the world. When I was younger I never admitted it; therefore, illnesses would have to knock me out completely before I would stop to address them.  As a kid, I would only get bed-ridden sick, so that would usually mean that my mom would have to stay home to take care of me. I admit I loved this. Even now, when I am…

  • Nobody makes money blogging. Writers never earn enough to survive on. Just do what you need to and get by. You can dream, but also be realistic. Sound familiar? I had earlier determined that I need to probably really take some steps toward finding a regularly paying job. This may mean that I need to give up my efforts to build a business or focus more on my writing. Initially, I thought I…

  • Having generally settled my schedule now into mid-morning starts and working until 7 or so at night, I have realized that I can now begin to consider doing some online work in the mornings. At the moment, I do my writing or cleaning up of the house, etc, but if I could find some work that would give me a regular income and I can do in my mornings, well, then that would…

  • Sometimes I sit down to write my posts knowing that I have thought of a number of different topics to discuss – always thinking I should start a post draft when the idea comes to me, but wave it off saying I’ll remember it – and then I sit to start writing see nothing but the white text box in front of me. The vastness of the empty space filters into my mind…
