Equipoise Lost

Sometimes in the midst of chaos there is great beauty. The question is can we stop and recognize it. I think that all the great philosophers must have been gardeners. It gives one time to ponder and draw parallels.

We all need to build in a daily reminder of gratitude. Then we can sort through the issues and figure out priorities while always keeping our core values staring at us. 

I found 5 Vimy Ridge memorial poppies amongst the 2′ tall weeds. Helps bring perspective and balance.

I strongly suspect that the local population rarely remember how

This was like a multilevel Conquest. The concept floated around for years, The planning took a few months and the day itself had several different tangents attached to Conquest.

It was a road trip to uncharted but

#MyCanadaDay150

Wow! I actually am unsure of how to encapsulate our Canada Day 150 spent on Parliament Hill. There are so many moments and thoughts to share. Settle in as this is going to be a long read!

It wasn’t the kind of morning that you would drag your kids through so fortunately as

We Made It!

Sometimes I have some crazy ideas and perhaps this was one of them. With Ron’s full support I might add so neither of us could complain about what was transpiring. But I mean who goes on vacation to
