Recommended resources

The  Recommended Resources  series has been published on this blog since we transferred it from the  Brummet's Muse  biweekly newsletter that ran for 6 years or so. When we closed it down, we decided that sharing resources was just too awesome not to continue. With this series, Dave and I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include - positive impact organizations and events, citizen science projects and links to helpful articles.  Feel free to check out their websites, and perhaps send them a note of appreciation for what they do. It would, of course, be fantastic if you see a way to network with them or get involved some how, or possibly share their information with your networks. The Ontario Trails Council (OTC) is a charity that promotes the development, preservation, management and use of recreational trails and trail-based activities in Ontario. https://www.ontariotrails.on.ca Operation Migration is dedicated to exploring the a...

Poetry Time

This monthly blog post series celebrates the world of poetry, sharing one or two poems per post - featuring either guest poet's work, or our own. The poem   Women's Jealousy   (below) is actually one of my favourite poems that I wrote before the age of 25.  It was excerpted from the book  Towards Understanding   , one of the books in our  Playing With Words  series available, of course, on  Amazon .  WOMEN'S JEALOUSY The girl in white lace and shiny gray stockings, Attacks every man with her nightmarish taunting. Her beauty is rare, her movements are sure. Her casual flirting leaves minds in a blur. Women both hate her and dote on her too. They wish they could be that woman anew. But they're only themselves - though jealous they be; Thinking from women like that, no man would flee. But she's covered in make-up and shading and light. And she'll take many photos until she gets it just right. These women wish with all of their foolish ...
