Back in November I read a great book written by a local friend Laura Churchill Duke called Two Crows Sorrow. It’s a creative nonfiction about a murder which took place in a local community in 1904. Before reading the book I had not heard of the story, but am glad I do now. The storyContinue reading “Different type of book tour”

Writing, Creating, and Personal Perspective
This morning while sitting at a coffee shop reading a bit of His Whole Life by Elizabeth Hay. I’ve had it on my shelf for a while now and slowly getting through it. Not because I don’t enjoy it, I just haven’t made the time to read lately. This is the second book by theContinue reading “Writing, Creating, and Personal Perspective”
Nova Scotia Summer
While most summers we take a trip away from home and away from Nova Scotia that is only small part. We still love Nova Scotia and spend lots of time finding things to do here as well. We have a really great Muesum system here. There are 28 sites as part of it across theContinue reading “Nova Scotia Summer”
March Challenge Update
The challenge I had given myself for March was to read and become more productive. While there is still a lot of work to do and a lot of progress I can make I did come a ways. Typically I would read maybe one book a month, and this month I was able to readContinue reading “March Challenge Update”
Sunday Afternoon
A perfect way to spend a bit of time on a Sunday afternoon while the rest of the family are celebrating birthdays. Drinking a coffee directly beside the machine which roasted the beans my coffee was made with and accompanied by a good book.
March Personal Challenge
Since February went so well I figured I would keep up, at least for a while, doing monthly challenges to myself. I’ll still keep on with the fitness but not be quite as strict with myself as I was last month. For March I’m going to focus on reading and personal organization / productivity. RecentlyContinue reading “March Personal Challenge”
Getting Up Early and Being Vulnerable
Not long ago there was a time when I always was up early and before anyone else in the house. That time I would use to go out and get an early morning run in before the day began. When days started getting shorter and the mornings were much darker I fell away from thatContinue reading “Getting Up Early and Being Vulnerable”
Thoughts on Fatherhood
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about families, and in particular Fathers. Previously I wrote about my own Father, I never really had a role model around except for some old memories and stories about things I specifically would not do as a Father myself. Having just finished Scott Berkun’s book The Ghost of MyContinue reading “Thoughts on Fatherhood”
Reading, Setting an Example
Reading is important to me. It’s something we’ve tried to instill in our children from early on. We’ve always read to our kids since they were very little. Before they could even fully comprehend what was happening. Jen still reads all the time to the young kids she cares for. One thing I’m bad forContinue reading “Reading, Setting an Example”
Finding Time for Yourself
The topic of freedom has been on my mind for a while now. During my later teenage years I had more freedom than I knew what to do with. Now there are days when it sometimes feels like my time really isn’t my own. Honestly I have nothing to complain about in my life, I’mContinue reading “Finding Time for Yourself”
