It’s been an extremely busy week leading up to GSCOPE. And now it’s come and gone, after a year of on-and-off preparations, leaving me to muse at how transient time is. During the week, and especially during the two days of the conference, an entire gamut of thoughts and feelings went through me. The stakes […]

Thanksgiving
For the air I breathe, For the food I eat, For restful sleep and the love of friends, I give thanks. *************** It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. And I have so many things to thank God for. Beautiful days with crisp cool air and azure blue skies that keep me gazing up. The joy of […]
Frazzled
Suddenly, in the space of just 2 days, a ton of new things have descended upon me to do. And maybe there really is no reason for me to get stressed (yet), but for some reason, I am super jumpy today. And I don’t know why, but I keep having this image of Ivy, the […]
E-mail Exchange
Been following your blog dear, somehow must say I half-envy you for being so introspective. Yet on the other hand, it seems so far from the daily hustle and bustle I face. Especially with the complicated human relationships I see at work every day…sigh. Really not easy to manage people’s expectations. You remember the chinese […]
Sunshine Girl
For the last three and a half weeks, OPL1204 has been hosting 舒阳 (a.k.a Sherry) whose youthful, sunny presence added a welcome dimension to our abode. Melissa was delighted to have company for watching TV reality shows (esp ANTM). Wanting and I have someone new to disturb (one night, WT sat down to talk to […]
My Reply to YW's comment for "Wounded But Beloved"
*smile* Thank you dear, for such an engaged response. In all the instances you raised of people loving when it is difficult, they are instances of unconditional love in the way I meant it. But of course, no human being is capable of offering that kind of love all the time. The same people who […]
Travelogue IX: Wounded But Beloved
Over the past 6 weeks or so, I’ve had the privilege and the pleasure of a few personal, deep, and thought-provoking conversations with a couple of friends. Much of what these friends have shared touch on the same themes of my own journey. As I reflected more deeply on my own meditations, the reading I’ve […]
Only This I Want
Two Sundays ago during mass, the communion hymn seemed to pierce my being. I’m sure the fantastic choir and the amazing tenor who sang the solo had something to do with it. But as usual, it was the lyrics, especially the refrain, that seized me. Only this I want But to know the Lord And […]
Dancing Queen
There’s something that very few people up to now know about me. Sometimes, when I’m alone at home, I dance. I’m not a skillful dancer, and I’m definitely an untrained one. But when I’m in one of those dancing moods, I dance with abandon and glee! I jump, I twirl, I pirouette… I do anything […]
Simply 'Ann'
There’s something that never fails to frustrate and nonplus me. Why, after a correspondence in which I have clearly signed off as “Ann,” do people reply and address me as “Anne?” And why do some people do it repeatedly after knowing me for a long time? Today I received yet another such e-mail, and Anne […]
