No Longer Little
“Things are better,” I told myself. “But are they?” I wondered. It would seem sleep can never wipe away the bad questions from yesterday, so as I rose from my slumber today it felt like I hadn’t slept at all. My body ached from past defeats, and...
The Best Me
There is elegance eventually – to internal investigation – the path is a glorious blood bath of past inadequacies but the other side is like the aftermath of a rain storm – everything dirty has been washed away and the earth spouts with fresh...
Waiting for the Truth
Dear Robert I have come to find there is never a good time to say goodbye – perhaps because words can never describe the feeling of what it means to never see someone again. I know you forgive my mad ramblings and strange wanderings – so I...
Yoga Part III
Class 3 Yoga Or I’m Not Gumby Dammit ~ It would seem as a middle aged man, slightly overweight and somewhat opinionated I should have this Yoga thing down pat by now – but I am here to say I do not – yet. Last night was class 3, and I am...
The All Clear
There is no cure for what you get when you are diagnosed with cancer. As I walked in one last time to my Oncologists office, there they were. Others who live in fear and bathe in hope that there will be another day. At the desk checking out after...
Yoga Part II
Why oh Why? I wish I could tell you that I awoke this morning filled with a renewed energy from my first Yoga class – like an Angel swooped down from the heaven and kissed the top of my head lifting me from bed ready to take on a new day. But...

Dear Friends; Tonight I go off on an adventure that I may not return – yes I have started Yoga. I began to see how serious this might be as I entered the Lulu Lemon store to buy a mat. There it lay before me – 4 feet of thin rubber for $80 – this...
Breathe With Purpose
Dear Robert; There are days I know why I stay here so far away from home. Some days it’s the weather – for a Canadian who has braved decades of the bitter cold the sun here is a ruthless seductress too. There are other reasons I suppose, like the...
Forgive
As I pulled up to the stop light I looked instinctively behind me in my mirror, there in the car was a pretty young woman gazing into her review mirror too – only it wasn’t to look behind, it was to look at her own image. I giggled for a moment...
Dance With Me
A dear friend messaged me this week, explaining he is signing off of Facebook. And asked that I write him occasionally, share some of my mad ramblings. Dear Robert; It would seem we are now looking back at this year which is ending, and seeing...
The Beast In Me
It is so easy to find a reason that makes me right – and it is so difficult to accept myself when I am wrong. After such glorious news that I will deliver a Ted Talk, I found I let the demon known as my Ego loose again. At first it was tiny...
