Submission ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast
The 76th episode of the Word Count Podcast is entitled “A Disaster in the Making” accompanied by an image of the eruption of Japan’s Sakurajima Volcano. My story inspiration Richard finally switched to a HOT theme now that winter is hopefully behind us for another year. I stared at this image for a long time,...Continue reading Submission ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast →

Rude
This song has been playing in my head for the past week after one of my favourite yoga teachers used it in her class. It’s a departure from songs I’ve featured in previous Mondays. It’s actually upbeat! Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit Got in my car and raced...Continue reading Rude →

Lost Together
I heard this song by Blue Rodeo tonight and decided to add it to my blog. The video is sub-par but the lyrics are beautiful. Strange and beautiful Are the stars tonight That dance around your head In your eyes I see that perfect world I hope that doesn’t sound too weird I don’t usually...Continue reading Lost Together →

To Love Somebody
I’ve loved this song from when I first heard it sung by the Bee Gees. The simple lyrics speak of a longing and deep connection to that special somebody. This bond is what I’m now writing for my character, Dr. Kate Hampton in A Fragile Truce. There’s a light A certain kind of light That...Continue reading To Love Somebody →

Good Riddance
In my previous life, when a senior banking director I respected left his position, I created a farewell video for him using this song. It was a fitting soundtrack for his departure, filled with nostalgia and positive thoughts for a bright future. Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by...Continue reading Good Riddance →

Don’t You Remember
I heard this song at my yoga class last week while in a back-bend — a heart opener pose. When the the heart is open, whether physically or metaphorically, it’s a vulnerable position. It certainly was an emotional one for me. When will I see you again? You left with no goodbye, not a single...Continue reading Don’t You Remember →

Harbinger ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast
The 75th episode of the #WordCountPodcast was inspired by the book Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones and this picture: My story inspiration Richard provided yet another winter theme. This time, it also contained an image of a black wolf. Though I’m not sure how harmful wolves are to humans, we’ve nonetheless associated them culturally with a sense of danger. In...Continue reading Harbinger ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast →

Empty
Have you ever had a week where you’ve experienced a range of emotions—from sadness to elation, seething to tranquility, despair to joy? This past week has been one of those for me. I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell In my disasters I walk on down the hill Through grass...Continue reading Empty →

Rain
I love a warm rain storm. You might even expect one in the spring … but not in Toronto, not this year, anyway. April has seen weather reminiscent of winter. This past weekend, ice pellets pelted the city. Strong winds knocked out power, downed trees, and wreaked havoc on commuters. It’s not the tropics. It certainly...Continue reading Rain →
