The Hope and Anchor The Hope and Anchor By Megan Cutler | December 2, 2013 | Comments 2 comments When we finally found the perfect place to live in England, we ran into a small snag; it wasn’t available for occupancy for a month. When you pick up and move across an ocean, you don’t bring much with you. Especially when you don’t know how long you’re going to stay. We brought with us … Read More Read More
Call Me a Dreamer Call Me a Dreamer By Megan Cutler | November 25, 2013 | Comments 5 comments There are two ways to find happiness. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking lately (a dangerous past time, I know). Despite a deep desire for stability, my husband and I constantly find ourselves uprooted, buffeted by the winds of change to places we never imagined we’d go. And, to a certain extent, we embrace … Read More Read More
An Impossible Vacation An Impossible Vacation By Megan Cutler | November 18, 2013 | Comments 3 comments Since we decided to come to England, my husband and I have been talking about travel. There’s a lot to see in England, after all, and it’s much cheaper to see the rest of Europe from here than it is to travel from Canada. All the talk of places and events we’d like to see … Read More Read More
First Port of Call First Port of Call By Megan Cutler | November 11, 2013 | Comments 1 comment After our brief stay in London, we lugged all our suitcases back to the train station and traveled to Portsmouth. Our trip to England proved an excellent opportunity to meet with a fellow writer we met years ago on an RPG forum. He and his lady graciously offered to host us while we looked for … Read More Read More
Protection in the Digital Age Protection in the Digital Age By Megan Cutler | November 4, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I wrote last week about the responsibility of security in the digital world. Whether or not you agree with the policy, part of maintaining security rests in the hands of users. As I mentioned briefly before, we expect those growing up with computer technology to possess a certain common sense in regards to its use. … Read More Read More
Security in the Digital Age Security in the Digital Age By Megan Cutler | October 28, 2013 | Comments 2 comments Internet security is a hot-button topic. And why shouldn’t it be? We live in a wired world. We put all our information into the giant world web, and there are plenty of people lurking in the shadows, waiting for a chance to take it. It seems every month a major company is hacked. Account names … Read More Read More
A Walk in Westminster A Walk in Westminster By Megan Cutler | October 21, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment Our first twenty-four hours in England were less than ideal. Much of this had to do with jet lag; we left Toronto at 7:20 PM and arrived at Gatwick Airport at 7:20 AM… seven hours after our departure. We both tried to sleep on the plane, but it’s a tricky thing to sleep sitting up. … Read More Read More
Satan’s Game Satan’s Game By Megan Cutler | October 14, 2013 | Comments 2 comments I have a love I haven’t spoken much about on this blog. That seems a shame, so it’s time to rectify the situation. I talk a lot about writing; how I do it, why I do it and what I think about it in general. Most of the writing I talk about is my ‘serious’ … Read More Read More
First Impressions First Impressions By Megan Cutler | October 7, 2013 | Comments 6 comments The cat’s long been out of the bag now; my husband and I have come to England for a year. He’s got a job teaching at a school in Frimley and I’ve tagged along in hopes of finding some work for myself. Moving across an ocean isn’t easy, at times it isn’t even fun, but … Read More Read More
The Winds of Change The Winds of Change By Megan Cutler | September 30, 2013 | Comments 3 comments There’s a saying that life is what happens while you’re making other plans. This aligns perfectly with my experience. Every time my husband and I plan how we want our lives to go, the universe tramples it gleefully into dust. Back in high school, it all seemed so easy. I felt sure I’d graduate, write … Read More Read More
