I grew up in a small town. It was a good place for kids and families to live.  We could go out for the day and leave the house unlocked. My dad would park the car in the yard and leave the key in the ignition where he knew he could find it. Nobody robbed our house or stole our

Dear Blog, Let me start by saying this is not a “Dear John” letter.  It’s just that I have always been better at writing than speaking, and the other evening, when I finally sat in front of my laptop to have this conversation with you, I found myself completely unnerved. I didn’t know how...

All of us are born with a natural inquisitiveness. When we are children, we are all creative. We experiment with everything around us in order to learn. But early in our lives, not coincidentally around the time we head to school, we figure out that it is faster, easier and often safer to duplicate ...

Every day, I find myself thinking about the world and what we humans are doing to it. What other creature on this earth generates so much by-product from daily living? Answer: None that I can find. The thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to behave like egotistical rock star...

 In the past, the brain was thought to become static as we age. Recent research has shown that the brain has plasticity, or the ability to form new neural pathways throughout our lives.  As we age, it is important to continue to challenge our brains to learn new things.  Do you ever catch yoursel...

Canada is 142 years old today and it is a national holiday. At 6 am this morning, my Blackberry alarm started to bleep.  “Why is the alarm going off? It’s the weekend,” I thought.  A fog of confusion lifted and was replaced with annoyance.  ”Oh no!  If the alarm is going off, it isn�...

Not too long ago, the idea of a “bucket list” was popularized by a movie of the same name. The idea behind a bucket list is to compile all of the things you want to do before you die and then get them done. For several years now, I’ve had a list that is considerably less morbid

I’ve always had this thing about the Mississippi River.  It  all started with Mark Twain and the discovery of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on the family bookshelf when I had just learned to read. We didn’t have much of a library in my house when I was growing up,  bu...

I was out on a long and rolling walk with my friends and our dogs the other day.  After about an hour of walking and our usual meandering conversations interspersed with quiet reflective gaps, one of my companions suddenly blurted out, “I think movement keeps us young”… She stopped me dead ...

I am very taken by Playing for Change, a multimedia movement that seeks to bring people of the world together through music. It is a beautiful concept.  I’ve featured a Playing For Change video on an earlier blog post, but every one of the musical collaborations they have produced is an inspir...

Hummingbird and Dragonfly were resting in the branches of a purple-flowered shrub. “Timethief is hoping to choose a Favicon and she has narrowed her choice to the two of us, “said Hummingbird. “Yes,” said Dragonfly. “Who do you think is the best choice for her?” Hummingbird darted to a m...
