The Power of Love The Power of Love By Megan Cutler | February 9, 2015 | Comments 1 comment Growing up, we awakened at the fun-filled hour of five AM so that our mom could take us to day care in time to get to work. I don’t remember much from those haze-filled hours where I rolled out of bed and stumbled down the stairs after several attempts to roll over and go back … Read More Read More
The History of Scotland The History of Scotland By Megan Cutler | February 2, 2015 | Comments 1 comment The National Museum of Scotland has a unique wing dedicated to the complete history of Scotland. It spans about five floors, moving up a tower from the base of the museum to the top. Many museums present the history of a location with the layout of their exhibits, but none quite so thoroughly as the … Read More Read More
Writer’s Block is Real Writer’s Block is Real By Megan Cutler | January 26, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment A lot of blogs I’ve read lately boldly proclaim writer’s block is fictional. Many seem convinced it’s a figment of the imagination, an illusory hurdle writers create for themselves, adding to a road already littered with pitfalls. I believe the purpose of these posts is encouragement; to awaken us to the fact that the journey … Read More Read More
Comfort Food Comfort Food By Megan Cutler | January 19, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment It’s been awhile since I talked about cooking. While we lived in the UK, we had a small kitchen and didn’t have room to store the bulk ingredients you usually keep stocked in the pantry. We made due as best we could but, now that we’re back, we’re happy to stretch our culinary muscles once … Read More Read More
Self Reflection Self Reflection By Megan Cutler | January 1, 2015 | Comments 3 comments Another year has come to an end, and it marks another new beginning. I love the idea of the new year as a fresh start, a blank slate, a chance to look back over all that has happened as well as looking forward. As the last day of December passes, I have successfully completed my … Read More Read More
Memento Mori Memento Mori By Megan Cutler | December 22, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment It’s that time again; time to set aside the daily grind and enjoy the winding down of the year. Now that we’re back on the Canadian side of the ocean, we’ll be joining family for the usual celebrations. As such, the blog won’t be updating regularly, but check back on the first for the annual … Read More Read More
For the Love of It For the Love of It By Megan Cutler | December 15, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Perhaps ironically, shortly after our move to England I wrote about two kinds of happiness; the happiness you find where you are, and the happiness you chase. I think it’s important to find happiness every day, to enjoy as many moments as you can. Ultimately, life is short, too short to waste on discontent. Some … Read More Read More
Through the Wormhole Through the Wormhole By Megan Cutler | December 8, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve written a lot about my favourite sci-fi shows and the lessons they’ve taught me. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Stargate SG1. I loved all ten seasons of the show, and I’m still a bit sour over the way the Sci-fi channel dropped it just before they decided it was a good idea … Read More Read More
Grace Under Pressure Grace Under Pressure By Megan Cutler | November 24, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment One of the most interesting stories from our time in England begins with our inability to find a plunger. Stay with me. It seems that toilet plungers aren’t a big thing in England. We couldn’t find a store that sold one. And when your toilet’s clogged, ordering online isn’t really helpful. After trying three places, … Read More Read More
Keep it Lighthearted Keep it Lighthearted By Megan Cutler | November 17, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment As many are aware, my husband and I spent two months moving from England to British Columbia. We got word of his new job just one month before he was due to start, so there were a lot of things to do in a hurry. We started with some last minute site-seeing in England before … Read More Read More
