I often wonder what happened ‘to know and help your neighbor’. The idea of community is not as evident in the U.S. today. Is it in Canada and other countries? In a world as fast moving and so connected by the News and other media, we seem to have lost the necessary connection to others around us. It... Sign in to see full entry.

One of the parts to my youth I remember with great fondness was the ability to have time to think about anything I wanted. Mostly I thought about growing up and all that would mean, but I had the time. I went for walks and was not accosted by noise and other people’s noise. Oh, sure there were power...

I know I started the week on such an important issue, although it is certainly an issue which is not fun to discuss. Partly, this is because I believe that we are the generation to step up and meet this challenge and partly it is because another dilemma must be addressed. In the U.S. we are looking...

This is not a time view with sadness, rather with opportunity for so much. In the fall we can see our... Sign in to see full entry.

Fall can be a very pretty time of year. The colors in the foliage are beautiful and we are reminded that as the plants prepare to endure another cold season, the spring will bring them back to us in their entire splendor. What about us, are we prepared for the fall and winter? Here are some thoughts... Sign in to see full entry.

I know that autobiography is a big step for some of us. So o o the weekend is coming and let’s talk fun. The summer is turning to fall and fall always makes me think of kites. I love everything to do with kites. First there is making and personalizing of a kite, so unique and with pride we watch our... Sign in to see full entry.
