Last week, here in Canada, there was a death that moved many right across the country… It was movement of the people’s hearts and minds in response to the loss of a man who believed in unity and fairness above all else.
Jack Layton was a father, a deeply affectionate husband, and a grass roots organizer, always bringing to the fore the true needs of some of the often ignored...
Becoming Familiar with the Transition of Dying...I was asked recently by a friend to start writing about being a ’midwife’ for the life transition of death. That almost sounds impossible to imagine… ”The life transition of death.” How is death a part of life? Really, it is a completely natural progression of thought…we live, therefore we die. Death is possible as the completion of the harmonious cycle, which is life. Life...
Time continues to fly by at a blink of an eye.
Yes, many of you understand what is happening Universally. How everything is speeding up.
How everything is so intense. (more…)
As mentioned in my previous blog, there have been slow but sure changes in Mumsie lately.
I guess I didn’t really realize how stressful it was until, after one particularly tiring day mostly spent bickering with Mumsie, I snapped poor Hubby’s head off after he made an innocuous statement. He didn’t say a word at the time, bless him, but he did bring it up again that night when...
I watched my little Zen master playing with my uncle the other day.
Almost 90 years’ difference.
I was shocked when I saw them both sticking their tongues out at each other in that naughty way that I am sure we all remember.
I say that I was shocked because I have always taught my child that this sort of behaviour was not allowed, but what can I say now? Continue Reading: Monkey follow Master
Taking care of my mother, as she becomes less independent, has made me realize how precious life is. She used to be the mother and I the child. Now, as she ages, I am witnessing our positions begin to reverse – am I now her “mother” and she my “child”?
It’s hard to watch Mumsie, who’s always been a vibrant, warm and loving woman, slowly but inevitably become more forgetful,...
It’s so strange to me that I celebrate Mother’s Day now as a mother myself.
Whenever my son calls me “Mummy”, it is hard for me not to think of my own mother. It’s almost a strange moment. . .a hesitation to respond, even though it’s been several years since he’s been able to speak. (more…)
Last week, my yoga-passionate cousin and her husband came for a visit. It was lovely to spend time with them and we all enjoyed ourselves, especially Mumsie, who is very close to her God-daughter.
One night, after everyone else had gone to bed, my cousin Jo and I had a wonderful chat about yoga – the whole mind, spirit and body aspect of it and how it has helped both of us so...
Let this day shape you, and bring forth cooperation with whatever is required to make things flow…
I was ‘thinking’ about what I needed to ‘do’ today…
I was ‘thinking’ about how it ‘should’ go…
I was ‘thinking’ about how to manage the timing of the things that I felt I needed to accomplish…
And I realized that all this ‘thinking’ required an awful lot of energy… Continue Reading: Let This Day Shape you
Summer’s here, which means our “bed & breakfast” is up and running again, with various relatives and friends visiting from far and near.
A good friend of mine, who comes to visit once every few years but stays no longer than three days each time, says we should have a sign put up on our front door: “Welcome: please remember that guests are like fish – after three days, they begin to smell”.... |
