  • One of the beloved icons overseeing my writing desk: Mary Magdalene preaching the resurrection. She reminds me to keep proclaiming and preaching what I have seen and heard, like all the women before me, called and sent. She also reminds me to stay in the sadness until I hear the voice of Jesus say my name. Her story in scripture and church tradition means a lot to me. So it feels both completely right and completely audacious to write with her nearby, preaching resurrection to a crowd of unsure dudes, dressed in scarlet, arched over with promises and steady on the swirling ground.
  • How I feel every time I'm on social media these days. . . . (From one candidates answer in our local paper's Voter Guide for the upcoming municipal election.)
  • It is Sunday night and that means #InstaDoctorWhoReview time with me and my two eldest kids! SPOILERS GALORE for #DoctorWho Episode 2: The Ghost Monument 1. New titles! New titles! Got a strong first Doctor classic vibe with a bit of Nu-Who and we adored it. Rewatched three times. I may have stanned Twelfth Doctor but hated those titles and score so this is massive improvement. Here👏🏻for👏🏻Classic👏🏻Who! 2. Jodie gets better with every episode. We adore her. She is part 3 (Aikdo!), part 10, and all herself. 3. The Timeless Child?! *rubs hands together* I smell a Bad Wolf level of fun ahead. 4. The gun futility sequence with Ryan was hilarious. 5. See also: sunglasses gag about Pythagoreus with a hangover. 6. The episode was fun-scary and never stopped. We were clutching each other throughout. 7. Loved the 9th Doctor throw back notion of the next-level.for reality shows. I know this wasn't a show but the race aspect with a dystopian flare was fun. DW is best when taking regular things and making them utterly terrifying. 8. "Come to Daddy....I mean... Mummy." 💀💀💀 9. When she saw the Tardis we legit 😭😭😭. Love the nod to the history (oh, you've redecorated?) And the joyousness of the new (I REALLY like it!). See one part 10's corals with some of 11s first go whimsy. Love it. 10. A perfect standalone episode. Got our titles. Got our TARDIS. Only complaint is lack.of character development for Yaz. We dig Ryan and adore Graham though. Can't wait until next week! What did you think?
  • 🤫 Shhhhh....I must stop posting autumn photos. We don't want to tell anyone else how pretty it is out here in the Fraser Valley. Sheesh.
  • Downside of a couple fibromyalgia flare up days: a full stop of life yadda yada yada. Upside: knitting time and catching up on @cbcbakingshow. Calling it now for Sadiya from Edmonton, Megan from Leduc, or Andrei from Vancouver. Dan Levy's eyebrows almost make up for everything.
  • There is the colour blue, sure. But then there is the unmatchable October sky blue.
