| Introduction | Welcome to my blog, my tech connection for this next chapter of my life. Originally from England, and long-time resident and fan of Vancouver, I’m shifting gears. Embarking on an all-things-life-reaffirming journey, arms wide open to revelation. Kind of Shirley Valentine-like. The hammer has come down hard on this big-hearted, headstrong, former control freak with a reverberating ‘We only get one time around in this body and life is short.’ Now gifted fortuitously with a time and space to re-view this life from ‘out there’ opens me to enjoy and receive in a whole new way. One day at a time. The death of my 23 year old daughter, followed a few years earlier by that of my fiance have left a profound interior scarring uncommon in scope. Considering myself blessed with an acute awareness of life’s fragility, I hope to stumble and bump along some new, more gentle terrain than in recent years. Expect plenty of reflection, questions and quotes, words of inspiration, comfort and, if all goes well, humour. |
