A few weeks ago my favourite little purple suede pencil case broke, well at least the zip did. I was still trying to use it to carry my assorted pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers and whatevers in, but I finally gave up about a week ago. Instead I carried the current favourite pen and one other; […]
As part of some fun we’re having here on b5media Lifestyle Channel, I’m going to introduce you to some of my neighbours.

One reason for keeping a journal is to note or create a certain level of change in our lives, although, if you’re anything like me you are also aware just how much we put up with in our lives. To crave change and do little if anything about it is a simple human failing many […]
While holding the writing workshop on Saturday I couldn’t help wonder what people really wanted in a writing workshop. I mean, what specific topic, about writing, journal writing, or whatever related to writing, would they really like to attend? I haven’t had a chance yet, but I’ve decided to write about this in my journal […]
Well, Saturday’s workshop with the ladies from Society of Women Writers went really well. I didn’t end up with enough time to get my photos printed out, so I grabbed my pile of old TIME magazines and clipped out some pics the old-fashion way. It didn’t matter. Having an image to write from was enough […]

Several weeks ago, maybe even more than a couple of months ago, a friend asked if I’d do a workshop. Of course, I agreed. I mean they’re going to pay me, so it’s worth the effort. I was given a vague idea of the month it might be in, but that was all. On Sunday […]
