Postcards From Your Mother
So, I'm pretty transparent. I'm not much of a liar - you can tell what I'm thinking by the look on my face.
"Don't start playing poker any time soon", my boy tells me.
He's right.
Others of my children are not so kind. Well, kind yes, but not as intersted in giving advice. They do things like sending me links to websites I would enjoy.
Like this one: http://postcardsfromyomomma.com/ It has given me a new reason to get out of bed in the morning - try to get an email posted on this site.
I conjure up some pretty extreme emails to my children anyway, but given this new motivation, I'm sending some deuces, but can't take credit for this one....

nasal irrigator
In other news, your father asked me this morning if he could borrow my
nasal irrigator. I got very excited, thinking he was being pro-active in
fighting the cold that’s got him sniffling non-stop already. Turns out he just
wanted to use the irrigator to inject jelly into the croissants he was baking. I
could write a fucking book.I’ve got to buckle down now and read this new
script.

Preacher Idol Ruth Update.
Ruth came third.
Exactly where she'd hoped to be.
Top three and no need to take a seminary course.
We had cake at church to celebrate.

Preacher Idol
Ruth Wilkinson - Preacher Idol Contestant
Ruth turns preaching on it's ear
by telling a story.
Watch, vote, and spread the word
for a fellow Resonate (Peterborough) attendee.

In real life, Ruth is the founder of the "Greenwood Tower Initiative", an advocacy group, making friends and pot luck suppers with the 100 or so folks who live in a residential hotel in Port Hope, ON.

From Dan's Blog
"The quest for meaning is one that preoccupies all Canadians — and indeed all human beings who have met their basic needs for food, shelter and security, and begin to move up the Maslowian hierarchy to seek post-material satisfactions.
As aging baby boomers watch their parents and even their friends die, and as they look beyond materialism, hedonism and work that gave shape to their middle years, they will begin to search broadly for sources of meaning to fit later in life in contemporary Canada.
They are unlikely to be satisfied by the traditional religions so many abandoned in their youth.
But as they scan their environment for examples of the good life, they might find inspiration in the children of immigrants who are materially successful but often still deeply engaged with a spiritual life that is social, syncretic, globally conscious, and threatened neither by the old nor by the new."

I've Been Away....
Well, not so much away as unavailable. Within my own skull I mean. Just not the headspace to be able to put pen to paper. I have been at my wit's end for most of the summer and now long into the fall.
Way to much on my plate, way to many people with demands, way to little power and autonomy.
Not so different from the rest of the world in that I guess.
But I'm feeling better.
I am seeing the trees at the edge of the forest in definition now.
I am feeling freer to practice (and practise) the person I am becoming.
And, with the best news yet, Martyn Joseph will be in Grafton on February 6th. Change your life to be there too.
