Lemon Meringue Pie & A Pychotherapist

http://www.brenebrown.com/about/ Over the last two years my obsession with travel has now provided me with a wall of maps;  flyer's, travel books and learning new languages. I spend my time, creatively thinking of ways to save and ways to get there and why I want to go and what is my purpose and different reasons why I want to go. The idea of teaching in China, was not really much supported, and now I see why. The plan was not really thought out, "do I want to teach in China?" After much research and looking into options, well sure on a short term contract. The idea was not really thought through, like many of my ideas. Fleeting ideas, "I'm going to be a Astronaut!" I am going to join the RCMP! OK the wanting to be a Astronaut clearly was a ego booster for my self, that I can do anything, and really..lol I can! The hard reality of wanting to be a Municipal Police Officer was the realization of:  "why should they pick me over all the athletic...

In all my writings since 2007, there is no time like the better than to recap The Rules. Seeing as spring is near. Dating in Vancouver is about as grand as being lonely in Seattle. It's hard games out there. I thought I would take the time to reflect some important rules when dating on the Internet and also getting out there in the jungle. Be forewarned, there is a new set of rules that have developed in Vancouver... The book is coming: Its called The Man Rules This will be a field study I have already been doing. I have a few males who have already stated their "Rules" I'd like to share now, one profile I saw on POF who clearly has his own set of rules, It states he is not looking for a relationship, as he has one..and well here it is..lol I am a working professional in an open, long-distance relationship and would love to meet new people to either paint the town red or stay indoors with a bottle of it. Thus, the following applies to only those who are...

It's been a while, I have had a very busy last month, no shortage of stress I can tell you all that. I have been writing here and there. This weekend was Easter, I sent the typical gifts to the kids, worked mostly, but did get away to see my family in Ferndale US. This Easter has made me reflect on family quite a bit, so I am going to reflect on reasons why you should not wait to say I love you, should have that yearly reunion. This is the dawn of death, for the baby boomers and our youth this generation has taken a turn for the worst in many different scenarios. About 60 % of teens are dealing with stress that an adult in there mid 30's is dealing with. You read about teen suicide in the media, sometimes you see it first hand in your career, sometime a friends child has a accident. When it is your own child, that as a illness, sickness...relapse. your world dies in that moment. You want to say everything you can possibly say and hope that they see, sometimes they don...

Last week was the end of yet another wonderful school, where I feel I made some difference. The contract ending abruptly when a staff wanted to come back into the position, fortunately for me I was offered above everyone else the "position she tried out" The complaints were, too far and they stay till 330 there. Having worked 7 days straight, over tired and dealing with a Psycho friend and a client, one of my clients was very ill, all weekend, needless to say I was not in the most positive of moods, the last thing I wanted was to learn a new caseload and start over, today. I had friend dates, a guy date, supposed to see my mother, and family in from my hometown for prom shopping and surgeries...I had to cancel everything. At this point in my life, everything is on hold..I have to get some things in order in my life. I got the guilt trip from almost everyone, and continual abusive text messages from a friendship I ended. After each workday, I would sa...

Vancouver’s Voice Valentines Special-February 2013 Pantie Revenge GVixen In 2007 I was dumped by a post it note..A year of physical education really helped the good old self esteem. I eventually did get out of the basement and on one rainy day, going threw past n old I came across a pair of pink boy cut panties, designer by American Apparel- they were   a pair of underwear I had given my X on one of the past valentine’s days. He never wore them for me and in fact didn’t quite fill them out anyway. I had already made my mark in the Internet   blog biz, and decided there would be nothing better to have a glamorous photo shoot of the new improved GVixen,,the catch? The picture would be every wear, with the briefs pinking out of the dress as a clear FUCK YOU.   I then had a order put threw for those panties, now 12 pairs are mine, in my size. I am happy to say I now own a signature pantie. I wear them with pride every valentines day. “ Ladies, al...

Today we reached 11 degrees In Vancouver, a bright sunny day. I ignored my workload, walked my dog on a long walk.. I thought allot. I then met a friend at Chai (East meets West) on Main street. Sultry Persian music played, babies with rosy cheeks, girlfriends chatting over tea, the smell of cinnamon.. As I listen to the life experience's of my friend, I felt I was missing a huge part in my life..Travel. This meet helped me re-focus and re invent my mission, no matter what. I was feeling quite lost the last few months, My mum getting older, my little companion and thinking about what I would do if I lost her now. Sushi my fat butterball pug. Finance..it seems like a hopeless thought. But really its not.  My friend just picked up and left, 3 years teaching diving in Maui at 21 years of age. Thailand long term treks..and when she was all said and done, she settled her goals on her own space..and re-building walls, revamping a vintage home and still manages to do fitness....

What do you get will 11 women, A cabin on a mountain? Adventure!! Mount Washington is a quaint, but very popular resort on the Island, 20 minutes outside of of Comox. The girls were from Naninmo, Victoria, Duncan,, Nanoose, Kootneys and lastly my 2 women from Vancouver. After two weeks of straight work for me and my girlfriend, this trip looked like it was finally going to happen. The other girlfriend met us at my house and couldn't be happier to get the fark outta dodge and leave her divorce proceedings. Extremely exhausted and grouchy the three of us headed out to the ferry terminal. The driver of the trip, and my best friend was insistent on opening the wine on the ferry already. I was like "no, you can just wait," " Just one glass she says" I insisted no, and good thing too because we had several things to pick up in Naninmo before heading out. Once in superstore I look over and her eyes were totally bloodshot. On arrival two hours later, th...
