Trip Down Memory Lane

August 7, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

This week my daughter and I caught the ferry over to The Sunshine Coast in southern BC and toured Gibsons and Sechelt. Gibsons was home to the filming of the television show “The Beachcombers” from 1972 to 1990.  It was also the first hometown to Wendy and Ben from 1993 to 1997.  It’s where we lived when we got married, it’s where we…

Maybe I’ll Get A Cat

July 31, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

I’m finding it a bit lonely, this whole “being alone” thing.  Back in my real life I often craved alone time.  Just one hour of peace and quiet was like winning the lottery, because the last time I had such a thing was somewhere around 1992. The last couple of decades have been filled with career and intermingled with babies, followed by…

Just Dance. Just Drive. Just Talk and Just Be.

February 17, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

In no time at all, I’ll be going back on the road.  Launch date:  May 1 at the latest. My intention is to stay out on the road this time.  I’ll visit friends and family, but will stay in my [email protected] Teardrop, PinkMagic, primarily.  I’ve missed the coziness of her, the cocoon that she is to me.This time in Arizona has been what I needed it to…

Grief-in-Action

August 8, 2010 by Kim Hamer Leave a Comment

I’m here at Camp Widow in San Diego. I videotaped the room full of us widows clapping. And now that I am trying to post it, I’m not sure it’s working. Frustration is on my shoulders, my wrinkled brow and scrunched up eyes. After an hour of searching and trying solutions, I don’t know if any of them will work and I feel defeated and completely…

Ruthless Trust

June 12, 2009 by Mie Elmhirst Leave a Comment

Sometime after Mike’s funeral, someone put a book into my hand. The book was Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning. Although I did not get past chapter one, (I was unable to concentrate long enough to read much at all and I am pretty sure I have a different spiritual leaning than the author), the title spoke to me. It still speaks to me, almost nine…

Contentment: Again with the Happy Place?

June 9, 2009 by Michelle Dippel Leave a Comment

This picture is a narrow, winding street in the village of Stamford, England. It’s a gorgeous town of stone buildings, quaint shops, quiet pubs, and lovely sheep fields. I’ve more than a few memories of the place. I’m not thinking about the little town though as I look at this photo. I’m entranced by the path the road is portraying, and I’m…

Why We Relay

April 26, 2009 by Michelle Dippel Leave a Comment

This weekend was the Central Austin Relay for Life. This is the fourth year that Team Dippel has competed, and the fourth year that we have been in the top five fund raising teams on the day of the relay. Our team is made up of family and friends, all of whom have been touched by cancer, most of us in more than just one way. The question of the…
