A Zen moment. Mist on Found Lake. Enjoy from the safety of your living room. September 6, 2020. Feel free to share. https://youtu.be/HFahKqRD8zw

Just want to say a big thanks to all of the people who have reached out to me since my last post, offering suggestions and recommendations, but more, love and support. I'm really fine, not looking for anything, I'm just sharing my journey. What I've learned. My point of view. If you like it, feel free to follow along. If you don't, please ignore. If you have something you'd like to share, feel free, but this is not an invitation to anything other than conversation. No debate, no politics, just a look at life, what it has been, what it could be, what it is now. Thanks for walking along beside me, being part of my community and enjoying the flight!

January 1, 2021. Back to basics. Each year on the first day, people set "New Year's Resolutions", which last for varying lengths of time, anywhere from 1 day to a couple of months. I used to do that too, but then I discovered I was more successful at making changes in my life by setting targets or goals, and then determining how changing my behaviour could help me reach those goals. But then, that stopped working too. The past year has been tough on everyone, and I'm no...Continue reading

"Believe in yourself.. trust your instincts and listen to your gut". How often we hear that, and how often we misunderstand what it even means. We forget how to even listen to others, let alone our own instincts, our own gut. I'm learning. Slowly. I'm realizing how many important lessons I was given by my grandparents and parents, and because it all sounded like "old people" stuff, I turned it off. Because it all just sounded like a lot of cliche, I dismissed it. But I'm learning. Learning to look beneath the surface. Learning to trust nature, my gut, my instinct. And all of that means I need to turn off the noise. And listen. What are the things that are really important? And why?
