My diploma had a gold seal in the corner that was decorated with the RCMP insignia: a front facing buffalo head, the words Maintiens le Droit, maple leaves with a crown at the top over the name Canada, and a scroll at the very bottom with the RCMP title. I received a shiny gold plated… Continue reading Oath of Allegiance, an Oath of Office, and an Oath of Secrecy

My mug is full to the rim with a rich brown liquid. The steam rises in soft scented pillows. It is a vanilla, fruity, jasmine odour. There is nothing bitter in the smell. However, there is bitter chocolate notes in each sip that fades out into a deep creamy nut flavour of coconut. Can I… Continue reading Choconut Coffee

Grief

A heavy blanket that adheres and demands attention. It can't be removed. It can't be ignored. Chameleon like, when you think it has loosed its grip, it triggers in a new form: a song on the radio, a smell, snippets of remembered conversation, a date, an event or an unexpected question… Grief’s journey is personal… Continue reading Grief
