travel musings
I always think of going on vacation and coming home kind of like a new start. It’s a chance to take a deep breath, see new sights, maybe experience new things, and maybe even come home with a new perspective on something that’s been on your mind. My suitcase is neatly packed the night before…

My Favourite Places – Mackenzie Beach
“The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach. I have heard them all, and of the three elemental voices, that of ocean is the most awesome, beautiful and varied.” ― Henry Beston, The Outermost…

Maui in the evening
“I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.” ― Mark…

happy place
I didn’t plan to post anything today. My plan was to be at the Roughriders pre-season game enjoying this beautiful evening, but I woke up at 6am with a terrible headache that has managed to last all day. I toughed it out at work just in case I felt well enough to go the game…

three photos and a poem
I’m not a morning person. I don’t jump out of bed, raring to go. I gain momentum as the day goes on and tend to get more done at night. However, I was in Maui last winter and found it really easy to get up early in the morning and go to bed earlier than…
