My first visit to Egypt
February 14 2011
Egypt is an ancient land filled with wonder and mystery; and there’s nothing quite like the luxury of experiencing it first hand and discovering the beauty it’s so well known for. This is why I’ve decided to go to Egypt this year and explore the grandeur of its surrounds. While there are a few things to take into consideration, like the current uproar in Cairo, I could cruise right through the River Nile from Luxor to Esna, where the Valley of Kings, a vast City of the De...

Gregorian Chant: Music for the Soul
February 06 2011
In a world where everything is fast paced and it takes a grand effort to step back and collect the elements of the soul; the Gregorian chant serves as a relaxing and spiritually enhancing exercise to accompany meditation. Music for the soul is music that seeks a higher calling. And where monks in monasteries have used the beautiful hymns, so can you here on Gabriola Island.

Nia on Gabriola with Missy Nobels
June 22 2010
Nia embodies freedom of dance, awareness of self, joy of movement and breath. Missy Nobels is a White Belt Nia teacher living on Gabriola. To put this in a sense which I could understand when I started exploring Nia about 3 years ago, it is a combination of aerobics, rhythm, Tai Chi, Jazz, Modern Dance, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do and Yoga, movement and dance. Very physical, intense, expanding as you become aware of your body’s universal energy. Missy teaches in Nanaimo and Gabriola, and points fu...

Robert's Place on Gabriola
June 22 2010
Craftingly good food. Robert's Place opened on Mother's Day, May 9, 2010 to an awaiting Gabriola crowd. I waited till a break, and today, Monday at lunch I strolled in. What a transformation. Light colours, new fixtures, new layout, kitchen, flooring and new outside deck. The menu has a blend of Suzy's tried and true, and Robert's infusion to the new and exciting. My pick today: Gabriola Burger, beef, jalapenos, melted cheese on a bun, con fries and coleslaw. Delish! Classy surroundings, funky-j...

Melinda Wilde, Watercolour Artist on Gabriola
June 22 2010
I'm so blessed to have a neighbour as Melinda Wilde, gifted watercolour artist on Gabriola. One of my favourite watercolours by Melinda is the "View to Entrance Island" as well as "Bell of the Landscape". Both feature the rugged and beautiful Arbutus tree, stretching it's trunk well over the edge of a craggy cliff outcropping. Makes one wonder how it hangs on year after year, in wild winds and storms. Check out her site. Not only does Melinda paint landscapes, she has a sense to our wildlife on ...
