Sunday Scribblings #43 – Photograph
Photographs. What an interesting prompt this week. To start, I just have to say that my friend Lina, whom I met in India in on Christmas Day 2005, recently told me about this amazing site for artists and and writers. It’s called RedBubble. You can post and sell work online.Lina’s on there, check out her…
Read MorePast Lives – This occupies a lot of my thinking time lately
The first time I travelled to India, Nicole taught me about past life theories. We had this amazing experience when she practiced Reiki with me (my first experience with Reiki, and the whole reason I extended my first trip to India for!). Essentially, we both experienced a similar flash of me ~ as a man~…
Read MoreMy recurring dreams about packing
So for the last year or year-and-a-half, I’ve had this dream about packing. You know, like packing boxes, or packing a suitcase. Usually, though, I’m packing boxes. I am never packing the same things, nor am I in the same place when packing, and I am never usually packing to go to…
Read MoreSunday Scribblings #42 – Out of This World
Out of this world experiences are those that bring me into my essence.Those brief and celebratory moments where everything is ok, where I am at peace, and where the sensation is one of pure pleasure.I feel quite privileged to have had such precious moments of ease wrapped up with the excitement of living.I think in…
Read MoreSunday Scribblings #41- I just don’t get it
I just don’t get it. In that I fully don’t understand. At times what I don’t get is myself. Like why I have these habits. The temptations that I pretty much instantly regret having engaged in. Like having that extra pint, or talking myself out of a meal because I’m “not hungry”, or sleeping in…
Read MoreSunday Scribblings #40- Smorgasbord
Isn’t it funny.My mind is so mixed up.I’m not really focusing.Back from a 5 week trip to the land of masala chai, naan, palak paneer, sambar and idly for breakfast, honking horns, stinking pollution and fleas feasting on my ankles, auto-rickshaws, and “yes, m’am, of course m’am”,I must say, that the priorities are nothing buta…
Read MoreIndia – Wrap Up Post
Here I am back in Canada. I arrived back on Monday (March 10) after 2 sleepless flights spanning about 18 hours in total. I think a combination of things prevented my sleep. Firstly, I had mixed feelings about leaving India. The struggle between simplicity and complexity of being there is really quite intriguing. Because of…

I had an interesting chat with a yoga teacher colleague of mine as the winter started to creep in upon us this year. Sarah was telling me how much her Litebook helped her manage the winter months. I checked out what she had written on her blog about it, but couldn’t help remembering that my…
Read MoreIndia – Sixth Post
I’m nearing the end of this wonderful trip. I have so much more to see and do, but time is running out. I’ve got a full agenda planned for my next visit! Here’s a picture of fire dancing on the beach in Arambol! Ok, so it’s not me, but this is exactly the kind of…
Read MoreIndia – Fifth Post
We arrived in Mysore on Sunday around 1pm after a 20 hour journey from Arambol, Goa. We took an overnight bus with MRI-like sleeper compartments. Trixie and I shared one and luckily I could lie down, because I couldn’t sit up (we were on the top “bunk” and the roof of the bus was too…
