Saying goodbye from a far distance is a messy emotion. We lost an uncle that I haven’t seen in many years, I did not grow up with a father and Uncle Gary took it on. With teaching me to drive, guitar and even buying me liquor underage so I could do teenage things.

You will be missed Uncle Gary,

Caricature spoken word fun. Soaking up what’s left of nice weather, being solo goofy :)

So nice and grounding,

A pretty protest song from a lovely artist open.spotify.com/track/3iGDqX...

When you’re in your little room and your workin’ on somethin’ good, and if it’s really good you’ll have to get a bigger room. And when you’re in your bigger room and you just don’t know what to do you might want to think about how you got started in your little room.

I’ve been lucky enough to be on the west coast for some epic sunsets. Heck they hit different. That deep BC, California orange casted across the horizon. A local was telling me about an elusive green flash that can happen just as the sun dips below the horizon over the ocean. No luck but It’s real!

CBC Afterdark hosted by Odario Williams has a wonderful track from his project Odario featuring Dawn Pemberton. Reaching back to a covid playlist. I was lucky enough to see them perform at Peterborough Folk Fest. It’s 1 of only 2 free folk fests left in Ontario!

It has been a long tough winter in many ways. The wind hasn’t let up in months but I’m beginning to feel the heat of the sun pushing through. It’s so nice to have something to look forward to in order to help get through tough times. Cometogether festival at Frontier Ghost town once a year is that!

A exciting opportunity has fallen right into my lap at just the right time, there’s a saying about when preparation meets opportunity. Grateful that a friend has referred me for an opportunity to teach.

“I’m rested and I’m ready”

Just a beautiful song is all :)

Being new to Bluesky is like moving to a new city, it takes some effort to make new friends and get moving on being social instead of doom scrolling on other platforms. I’m finding this app way more informative especially in the arts! Also it’s way more calming to be here, therefore happier!

Walk in to your own beat,

Love catching sunrises from the sanctuary, this is 50

New to this platform, excited to see if it will take off. I remember when the others started and it was just about making new friends, connecting with old ones, sharing fun stuff, and following things that made you happy. I am hoping I can begin to share some of my writing and feel comfortable
