Sometimes beauty is heard in strange and surprising ways, with unexpected skill and expertise that makes the beauty all that much more surprising and awesome. Sometimes beauty can come from places least expected…the pure gentle tones of the glasses give this song that I love a beauty even greater than the already natural beauty of …
Meet Michael Quiring
Knowledge reduces anxiety. Or at least I think so. When I prepared to move to California to begin graduate studies, I was shivering in my boots (figuratively, and literally…it’s cold in Saskatoon compared to the San Joaquin valley!) I was nervous about moving to another country and putting down roots in an unknown city. Because …
Hump Day Nudge…Everyone wins when the underdog wins!
I love it when folks who need to feel the awesome feeling of accomplishment happens…and folks around do what it takes to make that happen. Those sorts of moments change us all… when we watch a child accomplish a longed for goal, and see his mother’s joy when we see a teen age …
Two minutes to you accessing the “best you”
Yeah, yeah…this sounds like one of those “too good to be true” snake oil salesman pitches, doesn’t it? It’s not. Hear me out…better yet, hear Amy Cuddy out. Body language is powerful…we exhibit power messages to others by how we carry ourselves, what position our arms and legs are in, what voice tone we have, …
Cold and Broken Hallelujah
I was at the Tenor’s concert tonight at Winnipeg’s MTS Center…a good friend of mine invited me along with her…she hoped they would sing Cohen’s Hallelujah…and the didn’t disappoint. They are well known for this song, with it being a special request last year by Her Majesty the Queen during her Diamond Jubillee last year. …
Hump Day Nudge…Say Yes!
Last May, I saw this video and blogged about it…LOVED the joy, the silliness, the hope, the giggles it stirred inside…it was a tribute to life! Isaac and Amy released a new video that honours family…their heritage, their courage, and the leap that their grandparents and parents took to embrace love and life and the …
Winter
is wearing me down, and wearing me out… And when Eeyore is able to be more positive about winter than I, then we’re in trouble! 🙂 hard to have a sense of humor in this weather, isn’t it?
Do we let men be real?
What happens when a guy gets tired? What happens when a guy loses someone important to him? What happens when a guy gets betrayed, disappointed, loses out, gets shafted, is ambushed, has one thing after another not go his way? He experiences life as hard, that’s what. And while we might let him cuss, yell, …
Reboot Valentines Day to Generosity Day
I’m in…you, too? Maybe leave a comment letting us know what you tried and dared to lavish on another in a kindness of sorts? Celebrate love in all its beauty and messiness and heartbreak and joy…
Hump Day Soul Nudge
Today is Wednesday…hump day…heading toward the weekend, but still a ways off. Thought I’d start a new “thang” over here, and post a quirky, cute, poignant or funny video on Wednesdays..with no huge mental health agenda…nothing heavy with a significant metaphor…but just something that might give a moment of levity. I figure Wednesday might …
