July 18, 2011

Wow!  I can’t believe the concert is only about 3 weeks away!!  I just had a super busy weekend: singing at a funeral on Saturday morning, rehearsing for 3 hours Saturday afternoon, and helping a friend move on Sunday…talk about exhausting!!

Play it forward…(in music AND in life)

June 19, 2011

Something my guitar coach (who is an awesome guitarist and will be playing in my concert!  YAY!!) said the other day really struck me.  He said from the first day we learn music we have been taught to think in terms of “bars”.  You start at beat 1, and you play to beat 4 (assuming [...]

Full Circle

May 17, 2011

It’s funny how things come full circle in life. I was in a meeting today and someone mentioned a “Newcomer’s Club” for new immigrants. I was trying to think of when I had heard that name before. Then I remembered. The first year I came to Canada, I felt there needed to be more support [...]

Love Wins…Rob Bell’s new book

April 26, 2011

Yesterday was a crazy day. I had a ton of meetings lined up at work, and towards the end of the day my phone rang. It was my mother on the phone: “Can you come right away? Dad is not feeling well…” I rushed to their place to drive Dad to find a doctor. Turned [...]

“I Saw the World…and I changed”

March 23, 2011

One of the best things about my job is that I get to work with and meet people from all over the world.   In addition to making our communities more colourful with their foods, customs and cultures, for me the true treasures that they bring to us are their stories.  Literally every time I sit [...]

Thank you, Queendy (again)

March 14, 2011

I am sitting in Destiny Tea House, enjoying a (rare) day off.  Yesterday we entertained different options as far as what to do today, but after tossing around a few ideas, Anna said to me, “You need to write again.”  So here we are I was flipping through some of my old entries and I [...]

Some Thoughts on Change…

February 5, 2011

A couple of years ago Barack Obama won the presidential election riding on the momentum of a single word: “Change”.  The word seems to have the ability to capture our hearts and imagination while at the same time evoke fear and skepticism.  Recently our church began a new series on Christians involvement in government as [...]
