Moss and lichen hunting this weekend. Thank you Judith for your time and opening my eyes to a whole new world. #WoodpeckerTrail #BCMoss&Lichen #SquamishLife #Environmentalists #PreserveBiodiversity

Had an amazing time this weekend!! Walked a new trail, perused great art, chewed good food, hung out with the gang, and scored one of Andy’s originals (see above). #ItsGoodInTheHood #SundayInSquampton #HappyGurl

Make more Art
Let others decide
If it’s good
Or bad
While they’re deciding
Make more Art.

Be conscious of
Meeting a goal
It’s then time
To make a new one
Overlap them.
~Andy Anissimoff

We got love.
I know.

“Difficult not to feel
a little bit disappointed and passed over
when I’ve looked right through to see you
naked but oblivious
and you don’t see me.” ~ MJK

I see you.

A word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis.

What’s the longest word?
Great question!
My family’s breakfast conversations 🙂

“While we now know that the brain’s decision-making areas aren’t completely wired until at least their early twenties, it is experience-making decisions that wires them, and it can’t be done without taking some risks.  We need to allow children to try and fail. And when they do make the stupid, shortsighted decisions that come from inexperience, we need to let them suffer the results.  At the same time we also need to provide balance by not setting policies that will magnify one mistake, like drug use or fighting, into a life-derailing catastrophe.  Unfortunately, this is exactly what our current ‘zero tolerance’ policies—that expel children from school for just one rule violation—do.” ~ Dr. Bruce Perry
