Well, this week I hit the 500 posts milestone on Ten Thousand Tangles. Yay me! While actually getting to ten thousand tangles is still pretty far off in the distance, I think reaching the 500 mark after just over a year of tangling is not too shabby [continue reading…]
What if you suddenly discovered that some long-held, deeply ingrained, negative belief about yourself was a complete and utter lie?
What if for one moment you chose to see yourself the way others saw you, [continue reading…]
This has been quite a week, hasn’t it? Though my own personal corner of the world is fine at the moment, it sure does seem as though the news has been exceptionally full of sadness and strife over the past little while. Perhaps that’s all the more reason to take [continue reading…]
The August Photo A Day Challenge is only half over, but already I think it’s one of my favourite months yet. For whatever reason I’ve been really satisfied with several of the shots I’ve taken, and have felt as though my creativity has been bending and [continue reading…]
It didn’t take long at all for me to decide which of my shots to use for today’s Photo Friday prompt! I took this one in May when we were outside doing some cleanup in the back yard, with Oscar and Felix supervising from Peter’s office window. I tweaked some [continue reading…]
This morning I got going a little earlier than usual, as I was expecting a delivery and wanted to be sure I was awake and dressed and didn’t miss hearing the doorbell.
Sometimes a blogger who’s doing her best to post something every day throughout 2014 faithfully tries to write, but her thoughts and feelings about all the wars and death and sadness and pain in the world come out as a jumbled, incoherent mess, so [continue reading…]
Has it already been a week since my last Tangled Tuesday post?! It’s sure been a busy one, full of fun and socializing and exciting news and even a big giveaway… but I still managed to find some time for tangling, so here we go!

Which way do you lean when it comes to food preferences – sweet or salty? Given the choice, my go-to favourites have always been foods that are salty – and usually high in fat – with French fries and potato chips tied for #1 on my list. [continue reading…]
So… Number One on my gratitude list today is my employer. Why, you ask? Well, I’m always grateful to them for several reasons – giving me a job in the first place, keeping me around even when times were tough, generosity with salary and [continue reading…]
A couple of years ago I stumbled upon one of the most helpful, fun, and totally free fitness resources I’ve ever found, and I’ve been using it ever since. Just in case you haven’t already discovered it (or something similar) for yourself, I thought I’d share [continue reading…]
Just a few weeks ago, in response to the Photo Friday “Green” prompt, I shared a recent picture I’d taken of ivy covering the decrepit Walker Power Plant building. Today’s prompt reminded me of another photo I took a couple of years ago. As you’ll see, [continue reading…]
We love watching an Italian cooking show called Lidia’s Italy. Even if we’ve just finished eating our own dinner, the delectable food she’s preparing never fails to make our stomachs growl and mouths water! After watching the program [continue reading…]
These days there’s a war being played out on my Facebook newsfeed in a polarized chaos of opinion and fact, fury and compassion, bigotry and heartbreak.
It seems as though I’ve been moving in slow motion ever since I returned home from BlogHer ’14, and as a result I’m getting buried deeper and deeper in my personal “To Do” list. I feel like I need another week off work – without any other commitments [continue reading…]
