One Love
We all come from the same place, from the same Mother – our Mother Earth. When our ancestors started to travel and explore the Earth, as curious humans do, we found our special place to call home. We evolved to adapt to our surroundings in the various continents, thus changing our skin color, our features…
Imagine
I just learned tonight about something so horrific that I’m sitting here, wide awake in the middle of the night. Two wolves were shot and tossed into a dumpster in the usually peaceful and quiet village I live in. To think that someone could take those lives and treat them with such a lack of…
Louis Riel
Today is Louis Riel Day in Manitoba, but it’s a holiday worthy of celebration across Canada. His contribution to this country is priceless, and in many hearts, he was a hero. He took a stand against the government and lost his life for what he believed in – Freedom. I remember being told from a…
The Road Less Traveled
In exactly 3 months, Paul and I will be leaving on our big road trip! We’ve got so many fun things planned including a visit to Starman – our adopted llama, a week of convoying with our good friends Devon and Jade, Monument Valley, Alumapalooza, Yellowstone National Park and the best part – a whole…
Community
There are small pockets of community everywhere. People cling to ‘community’ whether they realize it or not. It may be a yoga community, a religious community, an arts community or anything else that we relate to or feel connected to. We all need to feel that we belong and so we gravitate towards other like-minded…
Returning To Our Roots

Most importantly and above all, they have come together to inspire peace. They’ve realized that our planet is shifting and understand the need for change. To begin, we need to return….
What’s Your Gift?
The last little while has been a bit of a bummer travel wise. We got back from our several month long adventure only to have our Airstream flood shortly afterwards, and our tow vehicle die a slow death before our eyes. Both are in the shop and hopefully being repaired. Although the word lemon comes…
Less Is More?
I suppose I’m about to find out if that’s true. I’ve decided to join my husband on a quest to ‘unconsume’ this year. The basic rule is to only buy what we need. At first when he told me about this I thought he was crazy, and I guess he kinda is, but the more…
The Best Of 2011
Recently Paul and I had a dinner party and a great question came up – “What were your favorite memories of 2011?” Here are a few of mine…
Kitty Chung
There’s nothing more difficult than losing a loved one. Some Beings become such a part of who you are that it seems they take a piece of your soul when they go. Death has always been very hard for me to deal with. I am getting better at making some form of peace with it….
