Firsts and Lasts... and Good-Bye

There are millions of "firsts" and "lasts" in our lives that affect us, become part of us, and influence who we become. Big and small. Doing this podcast was one of the biggies... Fifty-two weeks ago was my first podcast, and this one is my last..

The Author's Love Life

Would listeners consider a memoir incomplete without at least a tidbit or two about the author's love life? Well, I don't know, but I had a lot of fun writing this story, and here it is....

The Marriage Commissioner 3

The final of the 3 episodes about my experiences as a BC Marriage Commissioner.

The Marriage Commissioner 2

Onwards with more Marriage Commissioner stories....

The Marriage Commissioner 1

A requirement for becoming a Marriage Commissioner in British Columbia is that one has to be retired or semi-retired... so if we keep our eyes and ears open, there is still meaningful and interesting work available out there, just for us, in this Third Act. I officiated weddings for 9 VERY interesting years. This is the first of three episodes where I share my experiences.... did I already say?... it was VERY interesting.

How I Did It

Readers of my book and listeners to this podcast have asked me, "How did you do it?" So I' decided to add this special episode to answer that question. Heads up -- it's twice as long as my other episodes, but with good reason.

The Beautiful Women & Jackie

This is a fiction story about Rosa and Marilyn, but is based on a real once-in-a-lifetime experience I had in Mexico, thanks to an incredible woman named Jackie.

The Older Student

To stay as healthy and with it as you can as an Elder, it's a good thing, if not a necessary thing, to be active. Physically and mentally. One way to mentally keep fired up is by going to school --for fun, interest, curiosity, at the very least to get out of the house and off the couch.

Needles & Under the Bridge

Drug addiction and homelessness is a huge problem in our society and this harsh and debilitating situation offers little hope for a better life for the addicted. Our communities are trying to make things better for these folks but it's getting worse and seems hopeless.

Not A Disease Yet So Sensitive

This aging elder-woman experience is really something... every woman "in this place" will have their own unique trip and experiences travelling this particular road. I'm ticked that after all these years of life, with all this wisdom, with all my smarts, I still allow the "I'm not good enough as I am" message to (sometimes, somehow) creep into my thoughts. Jeez.
