Memories
March 9th, 2010 · 8 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Last night I dreamed about a girl that I used to know in grade ten. I didn’t know her well, we didn’t hang out together. She was just someone who was in a couple of my classes. I have not thought of her or seen her since 1979 and yet, for some reason, I dreamed [...]
I Don’t Like Change!
March 6th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
We Canadians have proudly drawn a line in the sand. Do not change our song! Wow, are we finally moving away from our usual (and sometimes painful) politically-correct-at-any-cost stand?
For those who may not have heard the rumblings for the past two days, it was suggested that our national anthem be changed to be more gender [...]

Visualization
March 2nd, 2010 · 8 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
During the winter games I was fascinated to watch the faces of the athletes moments before their event.
I loved it when the camera would focus on their face just before they began their race or event. The look in their eyes was pure determination for some, but for others I saw fear and the flicker [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ A Short Love Story
February 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
It is still February. Still the month of love.
I found this stop motion film to be very sweet and charming. It was created by Carlos Lascano an Argentine director and writer, mainly known for his works in animation and illustration. I can’t imagine how many hours of work go into a stop motion film like [...]

Just Slow Down
February 27th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Canada vs. The United States Olympic hockey game is starting soon. It’s a big game and I don’t want to miss it. It starts at 4:30 and at 4:20 I’m driving back from the grocery store. I’m rushing. The speed limit is 50km/h but I’m pushing it and probably going about 70.
I’m only about 2 [...]

Another Golden Moment For Canada!
February 23rd, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Last night from our usual Olympic venue seats…our couch at home…my husband and I leapt up and cheered “YES!” as soon as Virtue and Moir finished their beautiful ice dance. We knew right away that they had the gold. I must say here that I am getting very good at judging these competitions. I gave [...]

Who Writes This Stuff?
February 20th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I am away visiting my brand new baby grand-daughter, Claire Olivia, as you read this. I had to leave quite suddenly and so I don’t have much prepared for today’s post. Instead I hope you won’t mind if I entertain you (Jay Leno style) with some funny classified ads I found online. They may not [...]
Take A Moment
February 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Take a moment.
Stop for a moment.
Live in the moment.
An ordinary moment.
A moment is defined as an indefinitely short period of time; an instant; the present time. But that makes it sound so insignificant, so small. And yet it is everything. It’s all we ever really have. Right now. Our life is only a series of [...]

Searching For Colour in February
February 9th, 2010 · 8 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
So we are well into February now. It’s dull. It’s grey. There doesn’t seem to be any colour anywhere I look. February always feels like the longest month of the year to me even though it’s the shortest. This is the month I always dread, except for one thing. It’s “Tracy Day” on the 14th. [...]
Funny Super Bowl Ads
February 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Bonnie's Posts, Humour
Ok. Time for some funny!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow and although I am not a football fan (what do all those lines on the field even mean?) I plan to watch the game. For the half time show and for the ads. I love Super Bowl Ads. The funny ones anyway. I’m not interested in [...]

Keeping Our Children Safe or Stifled?
February 2nd, 2010 · 6 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
When you have kids you worry. A lot. It comes with the job and there is no way of avoiding it. Unfortunately these days I think we may have gone too far in many ways. We don’t let kids play dodge ball at school anymore…too dangerous. Today’s children will never experience the wind through their [...]

Do you have a secret?
January 30th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I think we all have secrets; some we are aware of and keep closely hidden and others that are so subtle we don’t even realize we have them.
I have been a fan of Frank Warren’s postsecrets for some time now. I have two of his books of collected post cards on my shelves. These post [...]
Sibling Love
January 23rd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I was an only child until I was ten years old. I have never known what it is like to have a sibling close to your own age to fight play and share a history with. I’ve always loved my brother, don’t get me wrong, but because of the age difference I tended to act [...]
