Spot, puppies, late 2020

Spot, puppies, late 2020

Remember Spot? My friend and roommate rescued 2 puppies from the highway beside my house. Poor little souls would have been roadkill that day if Fabian had not rescued them. We named the female Zero(the matrix) and her male brother Spot because of the huge black spot on his back. Fabian asked pleadingly to keep …

Reflections

Every day I stare at the blank screen like a blank piece of paper trying to will myself to continue the journey which I promised I would do. Every day closes with the screen still empty, void of any words, any thoughts of the journey. It is like I have come to an abrupt end. …

the times they are a-changin’

It’s been awhile. I have been unable to continue the journey cos every time I look at pictures to refresh what happened over the years I get overwhelmed with sadness because I am no longer there, in Mexico. It was a beautiful time of my life, I felt that I had found my space. I …

Dogs Never Die

Dogs Never Die

This post is for all of us who have lost a beloved four-legged partner. It was sent to me many moons ago when my dear Delphi passed away. It made me cry, yes but made me realize she and all the others will always be in my heart and I will always find room for …

2020, year of change and a sad goodbye

2020, year of change and a sad goodbye

Tucked in a valley only 2 hours south of Mexico City reading and watching what was transpiring because of COVID seemed surreal. Countries were in lock down. Flights were cancelled. Masks …

Everyone who knows me personally knows that my dogs are my life. Without them my life would be empty.

too many exits

too many exits

This is about the leaving and coming back home to Mexico. The visitors/tourist visa for Mexico is vague. One is not automatically given a visa stamp of 180 days (6 months) but it is relatively normal. As you may have read I did have a rather crazy experience which you can read here. Basically you …

spring 2019

Springtime. Who doesn’t like it, wherever you are in this world. It’s a time for growth and new beginnings. And a new beginning was unfolding for the 3 S’s (Seven, Stella and I). When I returned home from my brief visit to Canada for mum’s birthday, I was excited to get back into my routine. …

march 2019

I sit here now, january ’24 with the wind blowing the arctic freeze on us making it -54c which is as far as I am concerned, unfit for man and beast. Thinking back on spring of 2019 makes me wonder if I was in fact living in a dream but I do have the pictures …
