Self Image: 2013

I though since the Christmas video I had planned is at a bit of a standstill I would get to work on a first/intro video that might actually get posted.  The text below is what I ended up with; it's the self-image new years meme a la emilieofnewgloom, whose video is here.  I have yet to film anything yet (getting sick/being allergic to the world tends to put a damper on on-camera enthusiasm), but hopefully it'll get finished soon.
Daughter, grand daughter, sister, friend. Reader, writer, knitter. Chronic learner. Social worker? Case worker? Job titles are confusing and not what I expected them to be this time last year. Confused about what I want from life but willing to figure it out along the way. Accidental traveler. Canadian wannabe. Homebody, geek, occasional dork. Happily obsessive, fangirly, and introverted. A planner. A cat enthusiast, history lover,  and country girl at heart. Tree hugger, environmentalist, upcycler, recycler, thrifter. I'm Lisa and this is 2013.

Teaser Tuesday - April 14th

"My mother would never let the hearth die in her home," Margret said. She felt Agnes turn to look at her, but didn't meet her gaze. "She believed that as long as a light burned in the house, the Devil couldn't get in. Not even during the witching hour." Agnes was quiet. "What do you believe?" she asked eventually. Margret extended her hands towards the flames. "I think a fire is a useful thing to keep a body warm," she said. - Burial Rites by Hannah Kent Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Teaser Tuesday - July 29th

Lack of perspective in literature (or in readers) often causes a contemporary condition I've heard referred to as "presentism"; that is, a disposition to judge all literature by the narrow standards of present time and present culture.  This leads to the phenomena such as the denunciation of classic novels such as Huckleberry Finn , on grounds that they deal with issues such as slavery, women's civil rights, ect., in a way not consistent with the notion of present-day political correctness. - "Presentism" The Outlandish Companion by Diana Gabaldon Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Vancouver 2014: Camping!

Camping is one of those things that's hard to share via picture, moving or still.  It's so much about the experience, the stars overhead, the springy soft ground underfoot, the wind on your face, that first pure hint of morning light, meals cooked by fire and ember. Sure there are the stories you tell, the ones around the campfire and down at the lake, and the ones you tell after, but it's not the same.  Stories can conjure memories and emotions but they can't make the sun shine or moths fall from overhead lights.  Okay, maybe the last one, moths are sneaky, but the rest, these personal moments and experiences, they're a lot harder to convey.  I'll leave it at I had an absolutely amazing time, despite the lack of nonrock based floors and comfortable chairs, I would have turned right around and done it again.  The lack of technology was restful and the presence of that much nature was restorative.  We mostly relaxed but I did get to see some amazing sights...
