Embracing 2024

Another year has ended and the door has closed on all that has transpired in my life over these past twelve months. As I reflect back on 2023, I can’t help thinking of those ambitious goals I set for myself that were never met, those good intentions that never saw the light of day. For sure, the infamous shoulda/coulda/woulda syndrome may raise its ugly head, point its accusing finger, but the year has ended and there is nothing more that can be done. I can’t go back in time and undo my...

The Need to Pause and Remember

With the busy season of Christmas fast approaching—or perhaps already here!—I felt the need to pause for a moment and reflect on what the season is really all about, or should be all about. Oh, I know that’s not a new concept, it’s just that the general approach to this important and yes, sacred time of the year seems to be anything but what it should be.

The Space Between My Dates

Baseball is almost over for the season and I will go into a bit of a withdrawal! I know that may sound extreme to some, but I do love the sound of the bat hitting the ball followed by, “Ther-r-r-r-e she goes!” As I reflect back on my childhood I remember going with my friends to the Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto to watch the minor league baseball team, The Toronto Maple Leafs. I would go fully armed with my baseball mitt in hand, choosing to sit on the first base side and praying for a ball...

Supernatural Phenomenon

Do you believe in miracles? Are we not surrounded by them every day, or have we forgotten to appreciate—or perhaps taken for granted—the wonderful world in which we live? The abundance of food when so many are without; the morning beverage we desperately need to start our day; the unlimited supply of clothes to wear; the cars we drive, the medical aid available, and the water we drink…do we look at all these, and more, as miracles or have we become so complacent that little thought is...

Lies, Hate and Divisiveness

Do you ever find yourself repeating a one-liner you’ve heard from a TV ad, or humming the tune or singing the words of a catchy commercial? I know I have, and at times it can be most annoying. It gets stuck in my cranial matter and follows me throughout the day. However, sometimes the one-liner, tune, or commercial turns out to be a winner. For example…do you recall the IKEA “Start the car!” commercial popular ten years ago? (Check it out on YouTube…it’s hilarious! In 2017...
