Love, Respect, Equality.

This is what women want. Is that too much to ask? As I think about International Women’s Day, so many things come to mind. Among them, I ponder how great it is to be a woman, how hard it is to be a woman, and how there are still so…

“It’s the aging process” my therapist says.

Really, but I’m only fifty-eight! Okay, so maybe I am the lady in the photo with the magnifying glass, or grabbing for one of my eight pairs of readers. So what? That doesn’t mean I am old. After all, the average life span of women these days in Canada is…

Sex, Sex and More Sex

Back To School

After a twenty year break. I completed my Ph.D. in 2002. I honestly can’t believe that was twenty years ago. Where has the time gone? And truly, what the heck was I thinking going back to university at this age and stage? School is hard, darnit. Attending classes, homework, deadlines…

Shambhala For Your Mental Health

Who thought a music festival could right my soul I uprooted my life almost exactly one year ago from White Rock to Salmo. Big city living to rural. Prior to attending Shambhala, I honestly was still not feeling settled. I know a move of this magnitude takes a while to…
