The other day, I saw a post with regards to building a business that encouraged people to reach out in order not to feel alone. And while I appreciate the sentiment because, hey – who enjoys travelling through life alone? Sometimes we need support and encouragement.

Mothers and Sons
My oldest son came home the other day from a two week work stint out of province. He’s been working rotation all summer – two weeks on and one week off.

There were a few times their questions surprised me because itContinue reading “A Parent of Big Kids”
Living a Very Long Life
I feel it’s possible to live a very long life. It’s hard to imagine that we can have that much control over our bodily processes and functions in order to do this, but we have forgotten how. As someone who practices internal alchemy, I believe it’s possible to achieve this, but it would take aContinue reading “Living a Very Long Life”
