For the first time in the history of the Vancouver Canucks, game 7 of the Stanley Cup final is here, in our building, in our town. 82 regular-season games, four rounds of playoffs comes down to tonight.

In Search of Beauty
I’m on a punishing writing schedule this month. I’ll tell you about that sometime, but not today. Today, and yesterday too, to tell you the truth, the well is dry. The upside of writing hard is getting lots of words on paper. The downside is that if I’m not filling the well while I do… Continue reading In Search of Beauty
Derek K. Miller
I never met Derek Miller. I spotted the odd tweet by people I follow mentioning his name, especially over the last couple of weeks, but I didn’t know him, never read his blog, had no involvement at all in his life or his battle with cancer. The closest I got to meeting Derek was retweeting… Continue reading Derek K. Miller
Life Acks
It’s spring here in the Lower Mainland. True, we technically have a few days to go according to the calendar, but the blossoms are blooming, the allergies are making us drippy and sneezy, and the weather changes every few minutes between dark, grey deluge and clear blue skies dotted with puffy little white clouds. Spring… Continue reading Life Acks
Choosing Happy
My name is Kathy, and I read romance. I read other stuff, too, but for the purposes of this post, I’m going to focus on the love story part of my insatiable reading habit. I’ve never picked up a traditional Harlequin category romance, I must admit, though I’m sure there are lots of great ones… Continue reading Choosing Happy

Beautiful details and chance encounters
I’ve mentioned my friend Ev Bishop’s blog here before. But once again today (well, yesterday, actually, but I’m behind on my reading – big surprise), she’s written a post that touched me with its details. She has a lovely eye for moments. If you haven’t read her blog, I highly recommend it. Up to my… Continue reading Beautiful details and chance encounters
Link love
I am lucky to count some pretty awesome writing women among my friends, and it just so happens that three of them have news to share. Vicki Pettersson, urban fantasy writer extraordinaire, has a shiny new website here. If you’re one of those people who likes to wait for a series to be complete before… Continue reading Link love
A cause for everyone…
Ever felt strongly enough about something to write a letter to the people involved? We all have our causes, sure. But every once in awhile, I’m reminded of just how varied those can be. One of the blogs I read from time to time is called Letters of Note. It’s a great place. Real letters,… Continue reading A cause for everyone…
Housework philosophizing
It’s a dark, rainy Sunday afternoon here in the Lower Mainland of BC. There’s a separation of clouds and ground today, but only just. I’m pretty sure I could reach up and touch the heavy gray weight of the drippy masses from my rooftop. It’s a perfect day for doing nothing, reading a good book,… Continue reading Housework philosophizing
