At that point in time an advertisement kept popping up online showing me a long yellow dress sold by one of the local clothing retailers. I'd been considering … Continue reading Day 18: 44 to 44 at 4:44

This week: Death and Life. I’ve had an interesting week. You? I started homeschooling one of my godchildren. A friend in quarantine. A friend’s nephew in hospital. A friend’s father died. I was almost in an accident and some heavy shock vibes thereafter. Loads of thoughts. Life. How short life is. How, even though the … Continue reading Day 17: 44 to 44 at 4:44

The Uncles. Over years I have found myself participating in various groups with diverse demographics. Some groups were cool and felt safe and other groups, well, not so much. The reason? Well, I'm single and it seemed that being single makes you a target of unwanted attention ... especially the married kind. At some point … Continue reading Day 16: 44 to 44 at 4:44

When you know better, do better. Maya Angelou's quote came to mind recently while I've been watching more news than usual: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." I've been watching the news again lately. I'm not sure what I want to comment on and if … Continue reading Day 15: 44 to 44 at 4:44

Intentionality: Friendship Since my brother mentioned intentionality years ago it's been a growing thought throughout my thoughts, actions, words and relationships. What is my intention when and how I say or do something? What is my intention in a relationship? Why am I in this relationship / friendship? Am I there for a specific goal? … Continue reading Day 14: 44 to 44 at 4:44

The Wait I’m sitting in a car waiting for a friend to finish at work. I feel like should be a little annoyed because I rushed to get here, but I’m not. Waiting is part of life. Nobody can avoid it. At some point in time, somewhere each if us have to wait for something. … Continue reading Day 12: 44 to 44 at 4:44

Suddenly after a shopping spree it's butternut soup and creamy chicken and basil pesto pasta. So yeah ... I be cookin'!

Masks Do you recognize me with my mask on? Lockdown regulations require us to wear a mask when we go out. And we go out only if we have to. For essentials. So, ways to connect with loved ones has been ... limited I would say. One of my brothers and I occasionally therefore plan … Continue reading Day 10: 44 to 44 at 4:44
