I have a weakness of the heart. Toxic relationships with women.
I find it so hard to cope with women that are catty, or cruel. Particularly strong powerful women that are so. Worse of all is when they are nice to your face, and mean behind your back. It brings up stuff from childhood, from school, [...]

“In March, July, October, May
The Ides fall on the fifteenth day
The Nones the seventh; all besides
Have two days less for Nones and Ides.”
 
Well there’s fun planned for this 15th of March, probably too much planned. We’re bringing stuff over to the neighbours driveway early in the morning on Saturday to garage sale with them till [...]

This journal entry started with one letter, one letter holds little meaning, it became a word, with greater meaning, which in turn became part of a sentence with an even larger meaning. This sentence will become part of a larger paragraph, then a set of paragraphs that explore a larger concept or concepts. Everything in [...]

Our pug Luna is about 44 days pregnant now, with about 19 left to go.. her whelping date is expected to be around the 29th. She’s going to get a lot bigger still,  but she’s definitely inflating at an almost alarming rate. All she wants is food and belly rubs…

So visited my family Dr. today, going to be increasing my dose of Lyrica for my fibromyalgia, he says it’s common not to notice any effect yet, especially at such a low beginning dose. I get to take more pills. (insert sarcastic tone here) Joy.  He looked at my throat and it’s giant inflamed tonsils [...]

Dr. Hare is considered a leading expert in the field of psychopathy. Working out of UBC he’s a local as well. He developed one of the few diagnostic tools to evaluate whether someone is a psychopathic personality. Please don’t use this checklist to ‘diagnose’ friends or loved ones, etc. Even as someone trained in the [...]

I had a sore throat a few days ago, that same day I got a little papercut on the knuckle of my left pointer finger, I also had my right nipple barbell tear the piercing a hole a bit that morning.  Despite my best efforts to kill bacteria and other nasties in these areas, all [...]

sick child
aching limbs heavy
weary
and foreign
pain
sometimes subtle and shifting
sometime sharp and deliberate
a low thrum everywhere
an occasional knife in the gut
in a joint
in my heart
I hurt in places I didn’t know I had nerves
like aching organs… something hurts, deep
but I don’t know which part it is
skin hurts
eyes hurt
throat hurts
legs hurt
chest hurts
guts hurt
stomach hurts
head hurts
everything hurts
nothing hurts
thrum
staccato
thrum
I have [...]

exists in all of us.
We’re all capable of creating and we’re all capable of destruction.
A big part of my social life is tied in to our local alternative kink/fetish/bdsm community. I’ve been involved on and off in the community for over a decade now. Sometimes staying away from the public scene for a while. [...]

Looks like we’re going to be moving over to the Island this late spring/early summer.
Time for a change of scenery. I want to be close to the ocean again. I miss the salt in the air.
I was born and raised on the Island, Vancouver Island, and It feels like home to me, even though we’ll [...]

My background is in psychotherapy. I have my Masters in counseling psychology and have always been fascinated with what’s going on on a deep level with individuals and with groups. There are different kinds of groups and group dynamics, and different kinds of leadership within those groups. A healthy leader is focused on the [...]

There’s a new day for awareness in Canada, around the problem of bullying. Today, on Feb. 27th people are encouraged to wear pink to voice their awareness of the problem of bullying.  Most of us have some personal experience with bullying. In childhood those examples and memories of bullies and their actions are probably clear [...]
