Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
I am in Calgary at least once or twice a month these days. I'm guessing about 25 trips in the year by this coming Februrary - 99% of which are for business training with Make Your Mark. I typically tack on more work - consulting with MYM ( Read more... )

The birds they sang at break of day
"Start again," I hear them say
It’s so hard to just walk away (sigh)
The birds they sang, all a choir
"Start again" a little higher
It’s a spark in a sea of grey

Paul and I had a lovely little road trip yesterday, first to Wetiskiwin to the south of Edmonton, where we met an affable native fellow and a small red ( Read more... )

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep

WORDS

I wrote so many words last week. I'd wager I would be about halfway through a novel or so, if they were all sequential. Thousands of words. I wrote an outline for a course the other day that was about 500 words just for the outline. I have written course material, notes on presentations, ( Read more... )

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it?
Or just let it slip?

In the nearly six weeks since I last found the time to blog, a great many things have happened - more than usual, even.

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

I have been enjoying a couple of new albums lately, as well as a number of audiobooks, as I did quite a bit of travelling recently. In the wake of the Alberta floods, it's difficult to imagine that I was just in Calgary and ( Read more... )

Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
I pray you'll never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find

When I started writing this post, it was a couple of days ago and I was enjoying the different surroundings of sitting at Starbucks and playing on Paul's laptop while puttering around on the internet and waiting on hold to talk ( Read more... )

Broken hearts are being unbroken
Bitter words are being unspoken
The curse undone, the veil is parted
The garden gate will be left unguarded
Could you believe that everything sad is coming untrue?

Goodness. It's high time I updated this blog. It's high time I started blogging more again. I've been realizing that this sort of writing helps me to know ( Read more... )

If you've only got one shot
If you've only got one life
Than time is never on your side
Before I die, I want to burn out bright

PRESS RELEASE: I finally got almost all my pics up! Woooo! This is a good thing, as it allows me to focus on actual blogging!

This morning I drove to work because I was exhausted after last night's walk. Note to ( Read more... )

I'm finally getting to write about the remainder of my Calgary Experience this weekend.

Visit to the Webster Gallery

Alright, this is a short intoduction, complete with photos, of the excellent gallery we took in in downtown Calgary. I'm going through the gallery now and saving a folder of them, so if these links are broken ask me to send ya'll ( Read more... )

If you could go anywhere right now
Where would you go
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be

Hello from the lovely, sprawling, awesome and 1-million-peopled city of Calgary, AB. And from a Mac laptop! <3

So far Janta and I have met at the bus stop with a hug that lasted an entire minute, had breakfast at Tim ( Read more... )
