The Impossible. A movie review?
For a real review you can check here/ photo props: http://www.anthonybehindthescenes.com/2013/04/little-shop-movie-review-impossible.html
I am a big movie buff. I would even go as far as to say that I prefer to watch a movie over reading a book. *gasp*. I love the big screen, the loud sound and watching writers words and tales come to life! I also love eating unhealthy, yummy, buttery popcorn. It’s the little things in life right? Continue reading
Weekly photo Challenge: Escape
I love laying back in the poolside chairs while the kids splash and play and checking out the beautiful view 😉
The Granby Zoo in Granby, Quebec, Canada is one of our favorite places to go with the children. I would love to escape for a day away here with the family.
Victory Stance. A poem about addiction.
http://stevenhocker.wordpress.com/
Addiction,
It’s like a grappling hook
Pulling into,
grabbing
Digging into rock
A false sense of safety
Trust and faith in a rope
A hook that can fail
And leave you spiraling
Falling
Tumbling
Down to the ground
You grab hold of the rope
Pulling
Straining Continue reading
PAY DAY THURSDAY: Guest Blogger Post
Thank you to everyone who submitted posts. There were so many wonderful posts to choose from. I linked back to everyone’s articles at the bottom of the post. If it was an original post I linked back to their main page on their blog. Please give their blogs a look.
While reading this post I was captivated. I kept going back to it. It was full of voice, I could hear Kevin speaking through the words. This post made me think. It was engaging. It was curious. I found myself thinking about Alice in Wonderland it was curiouser and curiouser. The mind and the memory are fascinating to me.
I’d like to introduce you to Kevin Brennan from the blog What the Hell. He is originally from St. Louis, MO, and now lives in Petaluma, CA.
Meaning in names
Isn’t she so sweet and thoughtful? Thank you Busy Mind Thinking for thinking of me today 🙂

Past, Present and Future Reside, a poem.
How do you feel when you see things that don’t sit well with you?
Do you go and talk to you friends and say what a shame things are?
When you see or hear about an injustice being done to a fellow human being do you sit and take a moment to think about how that makes you feel? Do you let it stir and simmer? Do you use that passion to move you forward and take action?
Are you aware of yourself and the passion that burns inside you? Do you make a difference in the lives of those around you? Do you give back to community? Do you volunteer? Do you make a difference?
If not…… Continue reading

This was one of the hardest pieces I ever wrote, and it remains a defining moment in my journey into end-of-life care. Years later—after working as a funeral director, completing my INELDA training, and returning to this calling through Closer Lives—I understand even more deeply what this experience awakened in me. I’m leaving the original story untouched, but I’ve added an important reflection at the end.
This is not your typical Mothers Day story or tribute. It is a real story of love, tragedy, sorrow and grief. Sadly this isn’t a story at all, it’s a reality, my reality.
I went to school for funeral services, it is a two year program. One year in school and the second year is a paid internship year that you work in funeral services and also complete assignments. To graduate from the program and get your license you must then pass…
