    Tell me your favourite…

    Board game. Last night, we played a game with the kids. Night Cage. Something we backed on Kickstarter. We have a lot of games. Risk, Porto Rico, Dune, Cargo Noir, Whale Riders, Ticket to Ride, Azul, Agricola. There are too many to list. But we’re always on the hunt for something else. Up to 6… Continue reading

    Get moving…

    What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Don’t stand still. That’s my motto. I’m also looking forward. Moving forward. I love travelling, hiking and exploring. Thanks, flying kangaroo – lovely flights. But my visit to Brisbane this week was too short!! It was an overnighter that left little time for exploring. I really need to… Continue reading

    Feel a sense of freedom … and loss

    What would you do if you lost all your possessions? It wouldn’t be all bad. Perhaps a chance to start over. But it would be a significant moment. To have nothing. There are so many choices. Perhaps too many. And would I make the same choices? Do I go with familiarity and knowing, or lean… Continue reading

    I’ve changed my vote

    What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? I don’t think I was a swinging voter when I was young, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve voted based on policy rather than party. Look at the issues, friends. Continue reading

    That’s bad?

    Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. You say it like it’s a bad thing. When, in fact, being out of place, off to one side, holding a different view, or going at a different pace or route to others, is actually good. Diversity of spirit, values, ideas, skills, and experiences… Continue reading

    A few more from the Olympus E-1

    *******Reposted with permission. ******* The Olympus E-1 is quickly becoming one of my favourite cameras. There’s a certain solidity to the photos from it. The mid-tones are strong and the tone curve applied in-camera produces really attractive images. If there’s anything to the CCD versus CMOS sensor argument, the E-1 is likely one of the… Continue reading

    Let’s get serious

    Would life be better without computers? Or do I mean socials?I don’t know. There are pros and cons to having the world, information, and people at our fingertips. But there is an increasing volume of research that tells us to step away from technology and disconnect. I am not sure how I’d feel if suddenly… Continue reading

    Mental Health Movement

    I’m currently studying a short course in Positive Psychology (and doing some post grad university studies for work), but when they are complete, I would like to complete a Diploma in Counselling. I’m very committed to mental health and wellness.  I don’t think we know enough about the brain and how it impacts our health… Continue reading
