Always a King or Queen
Inspired by the lyrics of “Narnia,” an original song by The Swingles Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy. Kings and Queens of Narnia, but children first.

Not the Canada I remember...
Since long before Covid 19 hit our nation, our Government of Canada has continually failed us or at the very least failed to tell us the truth. Canada is known for being a safe, opportunist country where equality reigns and all of our citizens are supportive of one another. We are known for having an excellent healthcare system offering most free public healthcare. Unfortunately when the pandemic hit and for the years to follow so much attention had been drawn to how corrupted and dangerous our political system encapsulates. It shined a bright light on the gravity of their roles as politicians. It highlighted how their decisions could easily have a negative ripple effect that could easily damage or destroy parts of our society. I’m not saying that they should have handled the pandemic differently because truthfully I believe they did what they could with the very limited information on hand. It was a very unprecedented time not just in Canada, but across the world. However, the majority of other decisions that they made, and decisions that are continuing to be made today are the issue. They need to collectively sit back and review their choices thus far, and try to identify what went wrong, so that going forward they could back their choices with integrity and honor. In my experience, politics is a very juvenile, egotistical popularity contest that allows people in power to make the same mistakes over and over again. It allows our leaders to fail us time and time again, failing consistently to honor the positions and the power they carry. Not all politicians are bad, and I do believe there are some that lead because they want to, not for themselves but for our society. The issue is that the good ones are the minority, and they get drowned out in almost every headline.

New Beginnings
I might not become famous, but I would like to start selling my novels, even if it’s just one every couple years! I put my thoughts, dreams, and imagination into these five or so manuscripts, and I know that there is some other visionary out there who can learn just as much from my writings and take my ideas even farther. Yes, I realize I write (mostly) fiction, but the imagination can be inspiration as well, and teach people of all ages to dream their hearts out!

Motivation and Achieving Goals; But What's The Cost?
When considering motivation, is efficacy the best metric to use to judge/compare them? Can there be effective and powerful motivators that are dangerous, destructive, or chaotic? And how do emotions help (or hinder?) us in attaining a better understanding of this conundrum?

Restoring The Social Contract
When we are born, we start off with new responsibilities, commitments, or duties. We are purely helpless and rely on other people to assist us in everything from feeding ourselves to being clothed or to even how to be cleanly. Oftentimes, we rely on our first teachers and friends, our parents, to care for us. Of course, not everyone has the luxury to have both or one parent to care and nurture for them, which is why we rely on adoption, local and state services, and even foster care to make sure those who are young, vulnerable, and in need of care are provided for.

My Daughter the Fish
Little Tiffany was a born swimmer. When I was pregnant with her, I was very active, running 10K races. My Chinese Doctor, who I was very fond of, thought I was overdoing it and he suggested I stop running for the duration of my pregnancy, and perhaps do something gentler, like swimming. I swan lengths four to five days a week. When I was in the last trimester, after I finished my swim and took a shower, my abdomen would move rapidly as my baby kicked hard inside of me. It seemed she wanted to continue swimming.
