Spirit Island
2021, fresh out of COVID territory, my Ex and I decided to go somewhere after spending the year in lock-down while going through his cancer treatments. It was a trying year and we both were in desperate need to live again. He decided upon Calgary, Alberta – specifically to visit the Canadian Badlands in Drumheller, Banff National Park and Jasper National Park of Canada.

Rainbow Solace. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
Do you know one of those moments when your heart feels constricted and all of your innards tied up, where the only way you can function is to keep moving and take one jagged breath at a time? This was one of those.

Trust the Fall
On a crisp winter day, I took a trip to Niagara Falls in the negative four-degree weather. I went there to have a day with a friend with the intention of doing a video shoot, but what I left with was far more valuable. With the day ahead of us, we woke up nice and early. We were so excited to go to the falls even though we were fully aware that the weather was going to be less than desirable. We bundled up in layers. I wore three pairs of pants, two sweatshirts, two pairs of socks, a coat, a scarf, and two layers of gloves, and I was still freezing. The cold air bit through every layer, but the excitement of the day kept us moving forward.

New Beginnings
I’ve found spontaneous decisions are always the best. It was New Year’s Eve and I was about to take a nap and set my alarm for 10pm so I could get up and paint as we crossed into 2025. I had already purchased a nice half bottle of sparkling rose champagne to drink as I danced on my canvas.

Lightless
It was hot. And humid. The room tasted like summer, all wet dirt and corn sweat. Focusing on anything, let alone something as consuming as writing a novel, was bordering on insane. Or impossible. The effort of thought was strenuous enough to break a sweat. And I was already sweating.

Upon The White Cliffs Of Dover
When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t planning on writing this. Work is all consuming, and when it’s not my novel is. I need to put some finishing touches on a family trip to France that is suddenly, amazingly right around the corner. And my dog needs a surprise visit to the vet. Plus, it was inauguration day Monday which is all I will say on that topic.

It was my second time in Mexico City and I had yet to visit the world renowned Museo Nacional De Antropologia which is situated across from the famous Chapultapec park which leads into the infamous Ave de la Reforma of which we have all seen the iconic golden angel sculpture, El Angel de la Independencia, in the centre of the affluent business and hotel district of down town Mexico City.

Past, Present, and Future
In 2012, we came to Hawaii for a family vacation. It was also a get- together with the family in Minnesota. While we lived in Japan, my ex- husband's brothers and parents lived in America, so it was a rare and memorable time in Hawaii.

The point of roses
Flowers are a waste of time. You can’t eat them… or so my dad vowed and declared most of his life. His bugle shaped Gramma Pumpkins grew crazily on his woodpile. Mum, the Culinary Queen added sultanas and nuts to transform them into tasty, sweet pies for our dessert bowls. For years, flowers were grown by Mum… including vibrant nasturtiums (edible ‘bread and butter’ flowers).
