Living Creatively, Living the Dream
When I remembered what I’d forgotten…I laughed. And laughed. The wholeness of it hit me like a ton of bricks. Yesterday, I spent the day trying to remember what I’d forgotten. I’d this nagging feeling that I was supposed to be Continue reading Something I forgot…
“One day, you’ll appreciate the time to yourself,” my divorce lawyer exclaimed. I thought she was out of her mind! Her words…they’d stay with me as I’d stand in the window every second weekend. After happy kisses and good-bye hugs…I’d Continue reading Time to myself…
Today is the anniversary of the day a crazy lady showed up at the church wearing a disco ball tam on her head. When two elderly women, who were supposed to be seated at the same table, refused to be Continue reading The anniversary of the day…
When my marriage ended, I had an unrealistic idea of “how long” it would take to get through the pain. I was a few months away from hitting the one-year mark when my counsellor asked me, “what exactly do you Continue reading 1,827 days…

I’m not a “foodie..” The fact is, I’ve never been that fantastic in the kitchen except for maybe a handful of things…and it’s not that I can’t do it…it’s that I don’t enjoy it! However, I have this salad and Continue reading {From My Kitchen} Tortellini Pasta Salad
There are things about being divorced that catch you off guard…like trying to figure out a name for the side of the bed you don’t sleep on! Here’s the thing…I have this big ol’ King Sized that’s perfect for two…with Continue reading King sized faux pas…
Yesterday, Prada told me one of the smartest things I’ve ever heard. She told me to stop telling myself how I’m supposed to feel…and just feel. So I fell apart. The truth is, somedays it still hurts. What happened to Continue reading Just feel…
It’s March Break and I’ve done absolutely nothing! Well…unless you count a hockey tournament, daily drives back and forth to volleyball camp that have me getting out of bed at a ridiculous hour, a few trips to the rink for Continue reading March Break…
Last week…over pancakes, sausages and a dozen hockey players enjoying one another’s company…a few hockey moms and myself were gathered in my living room gossiping and solving the world’s problems. At some point, the conversation turned to whether I’d started Continue reading Match dot com
It was pretty much a stupid week. There was the concussion, black eye, broken nose and compromised neck. Throw in a pulled groin, two cavities, one tooth that needs to be pulled and two trips to the physiotherapist. Top it Continue reading Better days ahead…
I’ve been three days trying to come up with something fabulous to say and the fact is…I got nothin’! I’m taking down the tree, cleaning the house, spending the last few days with The Tall Blonde before she heads Continue reading Resolutions…
It’s been one of those weekends. Quiet. And by quiet… I guess I should clarify that I went to parties both Friday and Saturday nights… had brunch with my favorite Tweep… did homework with Snuff… and threw in a few Continue reading Crumbling down…
I sometimes wonder if I created my own destiny… by writing it down. I wrote a book a number of years back… called “Faking it.” In it…I wrote of my wonderful life with my fabulous husband and supportive friend… all Continue reading Faking it…
It’s been one of those strange weekends where I can’t keep my mind from going to crappy places. I’m not sleeping… I’m fighting nightmares… and I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of doom and gloom. It’s not helping that Gib, Prada Continue reading Next…

The other day, I had a reader tell me I should write a “Divorce” blog…that things I’ve said have helped her through her own failed marriage. The thing is…I wouldn’t know where to start. Often, folks come in here and Continue reading Divorce blog…
It’s always there…the divorce. Much as I’ve moved on and like the person I’ve become…from time to time, I hit a snag. Friends and family can usually see it coming…like Christmas…and New Years…and the dreaded Valentine’s Day. But once divorced, no Continue reading My un-anniversary…
Last weekend, I met a boy who made me think a little different than the way I’d been thinking! Simply put…it means I might not wait until I’m eighty to take off with some old codger…leaving my children thinking I’ve Continue reading I met a boy…
My brother thinks I should fly fish. Seems he believes it’s a perfect way for me to meet men! I’m not so sure. When we were kids, my folks would pull up along a roadside pond in Newfoundland… and set Continue reading Fishin’ for a man…
