Guess Who's Back?

After 2 1/2 weeks away from computers, mobile phones and work, I am back in the zone.

Feeling refreshed and envigorated, I am ready to take the year head on!

Okay, perhaps that's a bit too much enthusiasm but speak it and it will be true.

Thinking of all those going through tragedy from the devastation in South East Asia and making a pact with myself, similar to that I made after 9/11, to always live my life the way that I want to.

Here's to another year of enjoying each day to the fullest.

MOSAIC MINDS ALERT!

We are gearing up to release our anniversary edition of Mosaic Minds. Hard to believe I have been working with so many fantastic ladies for over a year but it has certainly flown by!

We are also hoping to make it a great one and are looking for any last minute submissions. If you have an article you think would work, check out our website at: www.mosaicminds.net

The theme is Kindred Spirits - do you have one? do you think they're silly? did you have an imaginary friend when you were young? do you consider your family members to be your kindred spirits? do you think it's possible to have such a fantastic connection with one person? what is the difference between Kindred Spirits and Soul Mates? is there one?

That should get the juices flowing...

Please, help us to celebrate this anniversary issue and take part!

I'm baaaack!

Hard to believe that last entry was almost three years ago! Many moons ago, I set this blog up to chronicle our journeys. Once we were grounded a bit more, it kind of lost its way. I spent some time working on my writing offline, taking on different projects and working full time as a technical writer. It was difficult to keep this blog up. Not for any real reason I can articulate. Just had my words redirected to other avenues for awhile. But, I'm pleased to say, after over a decade away, we are back in the UK, living and re-experiencing a place we enjoyed in the mid-2000s. Social media has certainly changed the way we look at blogs. I'm excited to navigate this new world, explore just what people post, what people read. What's better on one of the many new platforms and what's still appropriate for good old fashioned blogosphere. For now, here's a peek at where we're staying -- in a pretty little village just outside of Oxford. A temporary home ...

Room with a view

We've been in our new home for 10 weeks nos and it's feeling more like home than ever. Every day, I sit down at my desk to the most inspiring view. A collection of stories is building. This space makes it easy to gather my thoughts. I've been consumed with a few work projects and am looking forward to collecting my thoughts soon. Writers club is still going ... I was on a bit of a hiatus but hope to get into my routine for fall. For now, boat gazing is helping.

In Remembrance

" In Flanders fields the poppies blow       Between the crosses, row on row, ." When I was eight years old, I carried the Canadian flag in the Remembrance Day parade for our Brownie unit. I can't really remember when I realized the importance of November 11 but I can only imagine that somewhere between learning about that day at school and taking part in a very solemn ceremony that it must have been ingrained in my head to always mark this day.    "That mark our place; and in the sky    The larks, still bravely singing, fly" I remember growing up, the assemblies at school, always with a older veterans, in those days many from both World Wars, would attend. When I got to high school, I remember not being able to fathom how these decorated men and women, had once been my age, had once stood up and fought, and had made these decisions during the same years I would try to decide which route to take from En...
