Wind in my ear

Description:	Late fall and early spring in Eastern Ontario can bring a cold, harsh, damp wind - the kind that gets into the marrow of your bones and keeps you feeling chilled and achy for hours after you are safe from its reach. It is especially brutal when it manages to wind around your hat or scarf, sneak into your ears, and cause an ache that defies all remedies but time and warmth. I find at times trying to balance being an executive, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and decent human to be like trying to keep that wind from getting into my ears and causing me pain - no matter what I try, no matter how I prepare, somehow I find my accessories and plans come up short. This blog is my space to try yet again to push that wind away, to alter its patterns, and to invite comment from those who manage to find the balance that eludes me still.

Family is a mystery to me

Families are complex things. I know this - my own family is a mess of complexity and I have had enough therapy over the years, at different times in my life, to begin to become somewhat accomodat...more
