Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
You recognize what your grandparents did for you.
It’s not glaringly obvious as a kid and it happens like a slow sunrise in the east.
My grandmother would bring home books from the-library for us to read and let us read on own time while she stood in the kitchen preparing crème cheese and olive sandwiches.
It’s the little things.

Medicine Walk
I just learned of Richard Wagamese. This book was in Gord Downies library when he passed. I trust Gord and this is a strong endorsement.
The book doesn’t disappoint. It is a tremendous story of hope and disappointments and paints a picture of the ideallic Canadian backdrop. There are touching and pitch perfect back stories.
Richard Wagamese is a member of the Wabaseemoong First Nation in northwestern Ontario. The authenticity filters through with each beautiful chapter
Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
We are thinking about a move to Seattle. Logically when making a move such as this it gives us the opportunities to get rid of things we can eliminate.
That Chair
Our cats have destroyed our furniture so there is an opportunity to get rid of that ‚ favorite chair.
Books
We just packed up about 500 books. I love the look and feel of shelves lined of books. I am happy to have others read these books.
I went to an Asian grocery store today. It is a small store tucked in with other international markets. I do go there often. I bought tofu, vegetables, spices jackfruit and couldn’t find the bread I was looking for.
The great thing about it was that I am the minority. I don’t know the customs of the store. I don’t speak the language. That’s OK as it is a good place to be once in a while.
I’d rather enjoy the feeling of not knowing what I’m doing. It’s good to be humbled once in a while.
How to make Bahn Mi
I’m not one for exact recipes because generally you’re smart enough to figure it out. Marinate your tofu. I started slicing it real thin and will do that tonight. Top with pickled vegetables and slather on vegan. Put all of that in between a toasted bun and enjoy.
Then one of my axiom’s in life is travel outside of your comfort zone. It’s a nice place to be.
