SARK’s Anytime Adventure – Day 3 – Sleep & Rest
Amazing Sark is telling me that I’ve got to sleep to get rid of the Crabby Appletons – that’s pretty bang-on these days. Only mine are called the Downer Doldrums. Still, sleep helps. thank goodness for sleep. (click on the images to enlarge them)

As I have been unable to track down a USB cable that will allow me to upload my own photos, I have had to resort to Google images to get some suitable pictures for this post. That’s probably for the best in any case, since many of my photos are not the typical scenery, travel…

Day 2 of SARK’s Anytime Adventure Today, SARK inspired me to DRAW – just squiggly lines, circles, starts and such, but I drew. Oh, and I changed the wallpaper on my computer. It’s one of SARK’s downloadables. Now my MacBook tells me: You are seen. You are known. You are loved. You can get yours…

Today I decided I needed a little inspiration. So I headed over to Planet Sark to see what Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy (SARK) could do about infusing me with some juicy creative energy. I’m so happy I did that! I gave myself a virtual voyage sitting here in front of my MacBook. How easy! When…

I must admit, until just now, I had no clue what the word “oracle” meant. I mean, sure, when I first read the word, I thought about fortune tellers and Ouija boards, but really had no clear concept about the word’s meaning. In other words, I read the prompt for Sunday Scribblings this week and…

Do you remember reading choose-your-own-adventure novels? What a pleasure to be able to exercise that kind of control, to tailor my experience. I guess those novels served as an early literary lesson in how to customize and care for my own life path. Options, all I need are options…
Read MoreSunday Scribblings #104 – Shame
I could talk about the concept of shame for hours. But I feel like I’ve already said what I need to say, so I’ll keep it short. Shame is almost instinctual. For instance, when recently traveling in Hungary, I explained to my Hungarian friend’s husband, Gabor, that we Canadians continually apologize. Even when a situation…
Read MoreSunday Scribblings #103 – Junk
I have this interesting relationship with the word “junk”. I can hear myself saying it with emphasis: “JJJUNK“. This way of saying it involves using seriously pursed lips for the /j/ sound, a clipped /k/ and an overall kind of harsh-slash-angry pronunciation of the whole word. Is it a suprise that my twin sister Kim…
