Stories of Human Connection
SOME EXPERIENCES CHANGE US FOREVER
Not because we have set out to make that happen, but simply because they have shown up for us and have touched us in some way that we can never go back to our old ways of thinking or being.
This series below is from a six month period of time that I spent in the city of Victoria while taking precious time out to heal my heart after losing my son to an accidental fentanyl poisoning.
MY STEVE’O
My son Steven was my hero. He was born on May 25th, 1978, and left this earthly plane on December 1st, 2018. He was 40 years old and in the prime of his life. I would say Steven was an ordinary guy, but he wasn’t. He was extraordinary. Steven had a heart of gold. Kindness and compassion were his guides. He...
MAYA’S DREAM
Originally written in 2019. Some names and identifying details have been changed to respect the privacy of the people whose stories are shared here.

WE’RE JUST PEOPLE

She doesn’t concern herself with running out of time. She just keeps doing what she does best - giving and receiving unconditional...
ONE MAN’S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This old saying takes on even more meaning when living in the city. There are dumpsters here. We get to walk out of our apartments and simply toss our garbage - what we don’t want or no longer find useful - into a bin for someone else to take away. I was tidying...
LIKE MOTHER TERESA AND MARY MAGDALENE
Originally written in 2019. A name has been withheld to respect the privacy of the person whose story is shared here. For many of us, darkness is a time where we can settle into the comfort of our beds and drift off to another world. Some nights are more challenging. We fight with our pillows or wake up...
LIFE FROM LOLA’S PERSPECTIVE
Originally written in 2019. Some names and identifying details have been changed to respect the privacy of the people whose stories are shared here. I really enjoy my evening walks with Lola. Life from her perspective - standing at less than a foot above the ground - is quite different. She notices feet and...
